“Pop” into the Meadows...a vibrant,

outdoor marketplace and entertainment

destination.

The Meadows blends shopping with

pleasure as national retailers share space

names like Von Maur, Bed Bath &

Beyond, Nike, Old Navy, Ann Taylor

LOFT, Chico’s, Soma and Victoria’s

from browsing to take in street perfor-

mances, concerts and other events. The

Meadows is truly a unique destination for

families and the community to gather,

shop and socialize.

The Bohnenstiehls’ new shop has something for everyone

Baubles, Bites & Boots

Two years ago, Sally Bohnenstiehl lost her papa and her sister. She and her husband also lost their jobs. She said Baubles, Bites & Boots is the lemonade she made from lemons.

“We’re just old-fashioned shop keeps,” Bohnenstiehl said. The quaint little shop at 107 North Main Street in St. Charles is where she and her husband say just about anyone can come for “something neat, something sweet, something to put upon your feet.”

Baubles, Bites & Boots opened in August 2014.

“We decided to make lemonade out of

lemons,” Bohnenstiehl said. “I always had a dream of a unique boutique or shop since I was a child. My father was a jeweler in Ferguson. David always wanted a footwear store; we melded the ideas. It’s really an old-fashioned, small boutique where we offer unique things and not a lot of any one thing.”

The Bohnenstiehls were born and bred in St. Louis. Bohnenstiehl said her father would be proud.

“My father was all about a fair price for a good product,” she said. “Much of our nostalgic jewelry display actually came from my father’s store and is written in his hand.”

From costume-type outfits for newborns, like a construction worker or chef, to the mini-picnic basket with a sewing kit inside and a 1907 postcard from Paris on its top, Baubles, Bites & Boots has something for everyone.

There are spices and sauces, jewelry, knit-ted wraps, tunics, ponchos, fleece-lined leggings, and, of course, boots, both for work and for style. There are light-weight, cold weather boots for men and women, tactical footwear for men, and fashion footwear for women. The shop carries Grubs, Corkys and SWAT lines.

Bohnenstiehl also offers sugar-free candy and gluten-free chips and dips. There is

olive oil and and olives, fl avored sea salt, miniature strawberry daiquiri mixes, and even greeting cards.

“We want to show everyone how very diversifi ed we are,” she said.

The men’s section offers hair-styling products, gloves, eclectic watches, socks, umbrellas and fl asks. There are Mardi Gras masks and crowns, slippers, back scratchers, handmade signs, yo-yos and walking sticks. There’s a pocket knife inside a shotgun shell and a lighter in a tiny rifl e.

Bohnenstiehl said she buys local whenever possible. Baubles, Bites & Boots carries Adventures in Spices from St. Louis, Mo and Midnight Scent Works from O’Fallon, Mo. The greeting cards are made in Maryland Heights, Mo.

But perhaps the most engaging aspect of Bohnenstiehl’s shop is the way she chose to decorate the dual window displays at Baubles, Bites & Boots. She has fashioned one side as a depiction of her mother’s room and the other of her father’s. She fi lls the alcoves with merchandise that might, in another time or place, represent what the two would be doing at any given time of the year.

Leading up to Valentine’s Day, her mother’s room was adorned with beautiful jewelry and a faux fur wrap that she may have worn on a lover’s date. There were bonbons and a greeting card ready to take to her sweetheart.

In Bill’s window there were nostalgic items that he may have gathered at various ports during his time in the military overseas. Bohnenstiehl even displayed the engagement card that her father had given her mother, signed, “Night and Day.” It was the way he signed every card to her during their 65-year marriage.

Sitting upon the table in Bohnenstiehl’s mother’s window is a picture of her father and vice versa in his.

“If it’s made to be saved, everybody’s saving it.”

This is some of the best advice a potential collector can get from a seasoned saver. Tom Smith, Jr., has been collecting Coca-Cola memorabilia for more than 30 years; and most of his treasures were not meant to be saved. In fact, most people never thought they’d be worth a dime. Suckers!

“The only way to tell value is to sell it,” Smith said. Whatever “it” is, he said, there’s always a dollar amount if there is a willing buyer and seller.

A fi nancial and political advisor by trade, Smith started collect-ing when he was 10 years old. He took a part-time job with an auction company in St. Charles. It was his job to clean out the basements of homes that were being auctioned.

“I went down there with the rats, and my job was to pull out stuff and put it on the tables,” he said. “I was called a ring man.”

Many times at auctions, buyers will purchase an entire box of what they perceive as junk just to attain one item.

“They take what they want and leave the rest,” Smith said. “So

I would work the auction on Saturday for $25, load all of the free stuff up, and my dad and I would take it to the Wentzville fl ea market on Sunday. I had what I call the fi rst dollar store. I would make $30 to $75 on Sunday. It was all profi t. By the time I was 12, it was every weekend.”

At fi rst, Smith was just in it for extra spending money — for the golden purchase that every young boy wanted to make at the time, a Matchbox car or a Lego set. But then something occurred to him.

“I noticed the Coca-Cola stuff always seemed to be fi rst to go. That intrigued me. Whether it was just a bottle opener or bottle caps, they always sold fi rst,” he said.

So he started fl ipping through price guides; and low and behold, the bottle opener that he just sold for a dollar was selling else-where for $8. The next Sunday he separated his wares, and a lifelong passion was born.

Smith’s fi rst major purchase was a 1937 Coca-Cola serving tray. He bought it at an auction on Pike Street in St. Charles for $50. He took it to the fl ea market that Sunday and sat it on the tailgate of his dad’s pickup with a “make offer” sign on it.

At least for Tom Smith it is …

Coke Is It!



At least for Tom Smith it is …

“It was really just to draw people in. I really had no intention of selling it,” he said.

But just six months later, a man offered him $125 for it. That was 1986. He never did sell that tray.

Today, Smith owns some of the most sought after Coca-Cola memorabilia in existence. He has it stored in three different locations and is currently working on purchasing a building for a museum.

And while he does wheel and deal with collectors all over the world through his website, there are certain items in his collec-tion that he isn’t sure he could ever part with.

“I have a couple of things that it would take an inordinate amount of money to get from me.”

There is even one piece he wouldn’t discuss with this reporter on the record.

Smith owns literally thousands of pieces of memorabilia. He has one of the extremely rare, fi rst coin-operated Coke machines from 1929 with the only original base known to exist. In addi-tion, he has a 1929 salesman’s sample Coca-Cola machine with the phrase, “Serve Yourself – Please Pay the Cashier,” on the side. There’s a 1931 Coca-Cola train set; and then there is the 1924 cardboard Coca-Cola carrier that was pulled from a wall on the tenth fl oor of the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City during its renovation.

Smith himself discovered a Metalcraft Coca-Cola truck with real glass bottles and rubber tires in a grungy basement in St. Charles.

“There was an old bar in the back. The stools were covered in mold. There was water on the fl oor. I went behind there, and there were 20 to 30 toys all in the original boxes.”

That toy is worth $4,000 today.

He does have some rules for his purchases.

“It has to be something that, if I had to sell it tomorrow, I could make money. To me, it’s about preservation of history,” he said. “It’s not affected by the stock market. It’s a retirement plan.”

The collection could also put his two sons through college some

day. Then again, they may have pretty hefty collections of their own by then. One collects PEZ dispensers and the other Beanie Babies.

It’s not all about Coca-Cola. Smith’s dad, Tom Smith, Sr., had the collecting itch long before his son. He got him collecting pinball machines and still comes over to help maintain them, while keeping a stock of his own. The two still frequent auctions and sales together.

“It’s always been about doing this with him, going on junking trips. We’re like the American Pickers.”

Among the pinball machines and other collectible games that fi ll the party room in his home, there hangs a sign most native St. Charlsans would recognize. Somehow Smith found – in Kansas City, MO, no less – the old blue and white, porcelain-backed, neon sign that at one time identifi ed the St. Charles Dairy ice-cream store.

“I knew that was coming home with me,” Tom, Jr., said.

He paid $460 for the sign and spent another $1,000 to have the neon tubes replaced. It was worth every penny, he asserted.

Tom, Jr.’s next step is to open that museum and write a book. He’s working on an informational book about no deposit, no re-turn bottles. He already has a website, www.SodaMuseum.com.

His basement is full of every type and size of soda bottle one can imagine. From the Tab bottles of the 1970s embossed with soda bubbles to the foam-wrapped bottles 1980s’ kids peeled and picked at as they drank the contents, Tom, Jr., has them all.

He owns a set of every experimental bottle from 1967 to 1978 that was saved by the senior fellow for Exploratory and Funda-mental Research at Monsanto in Connecticut.

He has Coke bottles from the 1890s and 1907 that he said the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, GA doesn’t even have. He even has one of only 72 “X” bottles that were inadvertently lost before they could be tested at the Laurens Glass Company in Baltimore, MD.

There’s no doubt about it. This collection of his — it’s the real thing.

Local artist Zack Smithey is giving adults something to hunt this Easter season. He’s calling it the “Easter Art Hunt,” and it’s the fi rst of its kind in St. Louis.

Smithey started producing 1,000 pieces of art in January that he will be hiding in plain sight all over the Lou the week be-fore Easter. That’s 200 pieces per day for the fi ve days leading up to Easter.

“If you fi nd a piece, it’s yours to keep, sell or trade,” he said. “They won’t be hard to fi nd. They will simply be hidden like eggs are for kids.”

“I am working with a company to create a website where people can register the art that they fi nd. When somebody registers their piece, it will show where and when the piece was found, along with a picture on a map,” he said. There could even be a story about how it was found.

About two months after Easter, Smithey will combine a charity fundraiser with an art show dubbed, “Easter Art Hunt: Buy, Sell, Trade,”using the Easter Art Hunt pieces, Individuals and businesses will be able to sponsor the pieces for a minimum $20 sponsorship. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to charity.

Within the Easter Art Hunt series will be several smaller series with varying styles and subjects, he said.

“I wanted to do something playful, more than going to a gallery. People will be participants in the event.”

All of the pieces are square, from 12 x 12 inches up to 48 x 48 inches in size. Each piece will have a description attached to the back with an explanation about the Easter Art Hunt. Every piece will be featured on a website specifi cally designed for the Easter Art Hunt.


Here is how the sponsorship works: If a person or business decides to sponsor a piece for $50, $10 will automatically be donated to the approved local charity of their choice, and the sponsor will get their name or business added to the Easter Art Hunt website. Smithey will have a diverse list of local charities for sponsors to choose from. The remaining $40 will be donated only if the person who finds the piece of art decides to bring the piece to the art show. A single piece can be sponsored by multiple entities.

Smithey said the show can only happen with the participation of the individuals who find the art. Incentives for them to return the art include the donation made in their name and the sponsor’s name, the opportunity to see all of the other pieces that were found, and the chance to display, trade or auction their piece.

Hunters should expect to find pieces around the hot spots of St. Louis – hint, hint – South City, Delmar, Maplewood, Washington Ave., Grand Center and Lafayette Square, among others.

Smithey said the enormity of creating 1,000 pieces of art is just the kind of chal-lenge he needs.

“I’m always thinking. It’s just something that happens all day every day.”

He said he keeps lists of things he wants to accomplish both for the day and for the rest of his life. The lists are not fancy – just simple, blank looseleaf pieces of paper he keeps on a clipboard. He saves them all.

“There are tons of things on my lists. They get revised every day. Things get added on and things get taken off. I have lists of potential inventions I’m working on. There are different styles, techniques and subjects I want to explore. There are to-do lists and daily lists. When one page is full, I start a new page. Everything in life that I would like to do or want to explore further makes it on the list.”

Some day Smithey said he plans take all of the lists and make a series of art from them.

Smithey considers himself a processartist.

“I’m concerned most with the act of creating and not necessarily as much with the final product. It’s all about the journey,” he said.

Art for the Easter Art Hunt will primar-ily include paintings, some drawings and maybe even some sculptures.

“It’s really free for exploration. If I get an idea, I will do it. Nothing is set.”

Smithey admits there is nothing he can do if the finders choose not to play the game.

“It doesn’t matter. It will happen. Once I set it on the street, it’s out of my control.”

In the summer of 1974, the ballule’s creator, French architect, Gilles Ebersolt, presented his 400-square-meter, infl atable structure at the Tabarka Festival in Tunisia.

At the age of 25, Ebersolt initially entertained the idea of an alternate way of fl ying or sailing on trees.

He was famous for saying, “I like to go boating. Why should sailing only be accessible to sailors? I wanted to discover new media; water is a medium, the ground and the air are also media. Trees must become the media of sailing.”

At the time, Ebersolt imagined a sort of enormous, pneumatic sledge capable of hurtling down wooded slopes.

Along with several other inventors, Ebersolt met with a group of Dutch plastic artists; and the group experimented with elongated objects that fl oated on the sea with a person walking inside them. The shape was soon changed to a sphere and made into an all-terrain device.

It is unclear if Ebersolt was the originator of the zorb, though most sources list him as such. The Dangerous Sports Club—a British group of adventurers and extreme sports pioneers based in Oxford and London – invented modern bungee jumping in 1979. They are also credited as having constructed a giant sphere, in the early 1980s, with a gimbal inside it supporting two deck chairs. Ebersolt argues, however, that in January 1981, his design was registered at the Conseil des Prud’hommes as the fi rst profes-sional contact for the technical and commercial development of the zorb.

Nevertheless, from 1982 to 1985, Ebersolt participated in numer-ous events – in particular, a stint on the program “That’s Incred-ible” for ABC in the United States.

Additionally, comedian, actor, and martial artist Jackie Chan used one of Ebersolt’s ballules in his 1991 fi lm, “Armour of God II: Operation Condor.”

LET’S GO

ZORBING!It’s a zorb. It’s a globe. It’s a human sphere.

It’s a ballule? Well, it started out as a ballule

anyway. Ballule is the French name for those

human hamster balls you’ve probably seen

rolling across the Internet and wondered about.

The transparent plastic zorbs are made to roll

down a hill or across water. And it’s caught on.


Having some fun inside a giant, infl atable ballule… huh?


Zorbing, orbing, globe-riding, sphereing, orbing—whatever it’s referred to in 2015—has become a festival and party sensation. Today the human spheres are quite sought after for recreation or the sport of rolling downhill inside them like an oversized hamster. Zorbing has been seen on the popular reality television show, “The Amazing Race.” It was also seen on the “Late Show with David Letter-man” in 2010. Letterman tried it out in the studio before his guest, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, rode on 53rd Street outside the CBS studios in New York.

Zorbing is mostly done on gentle slopes, but doesn’t have to be. It can be done on level surfaces, inside or outside, and even have more than one rider. Some riders have constructed infl atable, wooden or metal ramps.

Some zorbs are double-sectioned, with a ball inside of a ball. They generally have two tunnel-like entrances. Most are light-weight and fl exible plastic. Some orbs have straps to hold the rider in place, while others leave the rider free to walk the orb around or be tossed about freely as it rolls. A typical orb is about 10 feet in diameter. The inner and outer orbs, if there are two, are connected by numerous nylon strings.

The commercial enterprises available for zorbing or renting zorbs are growing all the time. Currently, in the United States, zorbing at commercial locations allows riders to pay a fee for each ride or for a whole day’s activity. There are facilities in Tennessee, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, several franchise-based companies, such as SphereMania and Orb 360, as well as others jumping on the bandwagon, like OGO Inc. and Downhill Revolution.

Fun Services Midwest offers eight-foot infl atable spheres for rent in St. Louis and St. Charles counties. The company entices potential riders to “become a human hamster” on its website www.funservicesmidwest.com. Owner Zach Wilson said the company has over 250 rental items and 500 types of products and services. Fun Services offers zorbing entertain-ment all over Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma for company picnics, church festivals, school carnivals, birthday parties, family reunions, grand openings, and basically any event their customers can dream up.

It’s been more than forty years since an architect who wanted to soar above the trees invented the zorb. He doesn’t seem too concerned about quibbling over whose zorb came fi rst. He’s creating something new.

“The story has no mysteries,” Ebersolt wrote on his website. “Let the legal pro-fessionals decide about the extent of the infringement. Meanwhile, with a team of inspired architects and passionate

designers, I am developing sustainable ways of living for users attracted by play-ful creations that respect the environment: habitats off the ground (anchored in the treetops), effi cient houses, an arts research centre and a plantation of oaks in the Limousin.
