Thanksgiving Leftovers: Ideas for adding flare to your guests' take out boxes

Thanksgiving Take Out Boxes
 
 
 


We recently added Take Out Boxes to our collection of To Go products. These lined and microwavable kraft boxes are an ideal way to send guests home with Thanksgiving leftovers without losing your entire Tupperware collection. We offer the boxes with festive labels but here are a few more ways to dress up your holiday leftovers.



Instead of placing the label directly on your take out boxes, use them on a tag and add a personalized message on the back and tie with a ribbon.
 

Create a colorful arrangement of leaves from your yard to add autumn charm to your leftover boxes. We wrapped green raffia around the boxes to secure the leaves in place.
 
Tie a beautiful bit of fabric around your take out box and slide a plastic knife and fork under the knot so your guests will have everything they need to enjoy your Thanksgiving goodies.


 You can find more Sosia Take Out Boxes and other products in our Etsy shops Sosia and Sosia To GO!

Haunted Tour of St. Louis: Friday Flip

Dear Bert,

It's officially October and we are looking forward to all that Autumn has to offer. The leaves are just beginning to transform the local scenery into a colorful Fall display and the nights are slowly getting cooler making St. Louis the perfect backdrop for spooky storytelling, just in time for Halloween.

This month's Friday Flip set the stage for all the Halloween festivities to come. We attended an evening with David Riordan of Roirdan Tours for a Haunted Tour of St. Louis. We met David and the rest of the tour group at The Morgan Street Brewery, one of the oldest buildings in historic Laclede’s Landing.

 


As we walked surrounding areas of The Landing and weaving around The Arch grounds, David shared stories of bizarre events, unexplained experiences and their historical connection to St. Louis. Stories of ghosts and spooky encounters including tales of Bloody Island, the mysteries of Lemp Mansion and events that inspired the famous movie, The Exorcist were a small taste of all that David had to share with us throughout the evening.

It was a beautiful night and David's enthusiastic storytelling was a great kickoff to the Halloween season! We will continue to celebrate the month with new ideas for Halloween favor boxes and party recipes inspired by our spooky adventure. We'll be sure to share them all in the coming weeks.

Stay Spooky St. Louis,
Ema & Anita

Milo's Bocce Garden: Friday Flip

 





















Dear Bert,

This month's Friday Flip took us to Anita's favorite St. Louis location, The Hill.  We decided our activity to try was playing Bocce at Milo's Bocce garden, and we had a blast!  We met up with a couple of our friends and started the afternoon off with lunch.  The food was, of course, amazing being one of The Hill's many famous Italian restaurants.  But the real fun began after lunch when we went outside for some bocce. 

The rules of the game were conveniently located right on the court for us (good thing since Anita hadn't played in at least 20 years). Despite the 90+ degree weather, we enjoyed the game so much we had to stay for a second round.  It certainly didn't hurt that our very kind waitress kept the beers coming:)




 
 
 
 

 
 
Walking out Milo's front doors you face the local Catholic Church, St. Ambrose, with it's beautiful statue 'The Italian Immigrants'.  The church holds a lot of family history for many of The Hill residents.


 
Being on The Hill, we certainly couldn't head home without a trip to Missouri Bakery, so we stopped for some Chocolate Drops and Cannoli.  Delicious!  Our families were certainly pleased with our take home treats;)
Looking forward to next months' flip!
Anita & Ema

Go Ape Treetop Adventure Friday Flip

Dear Bert,
 
Today was our first day of Trip Flip inspired fun! We took our husbands on a quick drive to Creve Coeur Park we found Go Ape, the only Treetop Adventure in Missouri. Go Ape is a ropes course among the trees that includes 39 crossings and 5 zip lines. Each station gets progressively higher in the canopy topping off at  40ft.

We started with a short safety session. Rule #1 Stay attached! (sound advice kids, safety first!) and then were off to tackle the course.
 
 
Ropes, swings, nets….Flying Carpet, Spider’s Web and even a skateboard to ride on your way down the final zip line.
 
We had a great time swinging like Tarzan, (Mike does a mean “Tarzan” call) but the day wasn’t without a few bumps and scrapes. Because Anita and I didn’t quite master our landing techniques, Anita ended up with a few scratches and I took home a few more wood chips (down the back of my pants) than expected.

 
Like the Go Ape motto, we're "Living Life Adventurously!",
Anita and Ema
