I will be in St Louis for work on Wednesday and will probably only have time to stop at one store....what is the best place to go? I will be in the Creve Coeur area, but anything close or west of that would work. Looking for stores that offer anything different that what you can find at Hobby Lobby and Michaels!
I went here for black friday 2007. I was in the area and it is a wonderful little store..looks like they've expanded. I am headed back in a couple of months and I will be making this stop for sure..Hope you like it.
Lots of cool embellishments that you just don't find very many places. More of a paper crafting store than just a scrapbooking/stamping store.
For Keeps Sake is a great scrapbooking store! I can spend ton o' $$$ money in there (and usually do!). It's waaay further south of you, but easy to get to because it's right off HWY 270/55.
St. Louis could use a few more stores. I guess it's not a big scrapbooking city because so many have closed in the past few years. KC is the place to go in the state for scrapbooking/stamping!
The Inkspot in Kirkwood (whose website was already posted here) has the largest inventory of stamps in St. Louis in my opinion. She also sells a variety of paper, inks, punches, pens, markers, and supplies. Check out the heading "products" on the website.
The Ink Spot and Red Lead are actually only about 15 minutes from each other. Both different and both worth the visit. The Ink Spot is in a small house and you just browse from room to room. Red Lead is a more eclectic store and is run by two sisters who can show you some really cool things. They also now have their own line of stamps and the selection of their papers is one of the best in town. Can you try and hit both of them?
Like other's have said - - The Ink Spot (in Kirkwood) and Red Lead (in St. Charles). I think they're pretty far apart, so if you can only visit one, I'd opt for the Ink Spot. There are two Archiver's that have great things. I live right outside of Creve Coeur find Archiver's is most convenient and is west of Creve Coeur, but they don't have near the stamp selection that the Ink Spot has. But they carry a lot of the cool toys we all need (want)! Have fun!

If you have time to cross into IL (not more than 10-15 mins from downtown STL) there's a place in O'Fallon called Scrapbook Factory. They are always up on the latest and greatest. Their site is scrapbookfactory.blogspot.com
It's probably a little further out than you may have time for, but wanted to throw it out there too.
I love two specialty stores in St Louis. One is called Red Lead, and the other is the Inkspot in Kirkwood. Red Lead is East of 270, on Manchester. Just before you get to Rock Hill. Red Lead has some fantastic DP and vintage stamps and trinkets! http://www.redleadpaperworks.com/servlet/StoreFront
Go with a friend, its more fun! http://www.inkspotofnatalie.com/index.html
Love this store! It's great!
Of course I visit Hobby Lobby and Archivers too in Ballwin and Chesterfield!
I know there is another shop in St Charles that is a specialty shop and was told they have unique rubber stamps.
I have yet to visit them!
I will soon!
Hi, I think that the store you were thinking of in old town St Charles is gone. It's to bad it was a really cute little shop with a lot of great ideas. We used to have several great stores and they have slowly just drifted into the night and were gone! Sad!!! Red lead. the Ink Spot and for Keepsakes are all great stores...Lots of goodies to spend money on!
My mom and I ventured to the Inkspot in Kirkwood, MO and oh my goodness! They had SOOOOO many stamps, and mostly wood mounted (my preference.) A lot of various stamp companies too, that I have only seen online so far. I would recommend it if you are addicted to rubber!
