Sign of the Arrow

I’ve been here a few times with my girlfriend who does needlepoint. And has a loom.
And I was in here years and years ago to get my daughter a Raggity Ann doll for her birthday. My daughter is now 27.
The new store is larger, brighter and has much more merchandise.
The new, expanded store is full of so many other things. Gifts, probably many for wedding gifts. Cheese, spread platters. Serving plates, bowls. Gorgeous stuff.
Tervis glasses of many dimensions. MIZZOU stuff, KC stuff.
Jewelry, baby gifts, baby clothes, beautiful picture frames, hand-​woven rugs. Solmate socks (
), including those for children with an extra sock. Genius!
An exceptional amount of Easter decorations which looked unique to me. So bright and cheery.
I didn’t mess around much in the yarn/​thread/​pattern area of the store, which is probably half of the store. But there’s a lot of stuff there.
My girlfriend brought in some embroideries she’d done for Christmas tree ornaments. You can do the needlework, and have them do the finishing. That was her mission.
I think five people came to review and understand her request. To get it right. Because she’s particular about what she wants.
This isn’t just a store. It’s a philanthropic endeavor:
Everyone who works there is a volunteer. Started in 1966, it’s a community support organization from the St. Louis Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi.
A great place to patronize.

I love Sign of the Arrow! It’s a unique gift and needlepoint shop. They have great items, at all different price points. They have really sweet baby and wedding gifts, plus tons of Mizzou items. I buy a lot of gifts there for the family in my life that are hard to shop for; they always have items that I never see anywhere else. I’ve just started getting into needlepoint, and the volunteers there are very helpful. They’re always willing to answer my questions, or just show me how to do a certain stitch. I think my favorite part about the shop are the holidays! They have the best Christmas decorations, ornaments, décor, etc. And after the holidays, they have great sales. And best of all, the proceeds go to local charities!

Great belt kits and service!
