Megan Menne Sells Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Scones Made Out of Felt

— September 10, 2018 — Life-Stages
Pumpkin spice lattes are not just for grownups anymore thanks to one Etsy crafter's adorable pumpkin latte toys. Sold with a matching pumpkin scone, the ultra-soft toy set is perfect for pint-sized pumpkin lovers.

The pumpkin latte toys are the work of Megan Menne, a New Jersey-based mom selling her wares from an Etsy shop called Cuddle Bear Boutique. Recently, her most popular item has been a felt takeout coffee cup with a tiny felt pumpkin on it. The life-like latte is sold alongside a matching pumpkin scone also made from felt. Menne explains that the inspiration for the toys came from fall trips to Starbucks with her daughter. She says, "My daughter and I always stop in at Starbucks and I will get a coffee for myself and a treat for her, so I really wanted the set to resemble that experience."
