Lost & found seasonal items in St Louis

Lost holiday decorations near Gateway Arch, St. Louis

I was stringing up lights and a garland in my apartment near the Gateway Arch downtown when a gust from the window knocked the garland off the mantle and sent ornaments rolling across the living room. The Holiday decorations are more than decor to me; one heirloom glass ball from my grandmother and a small wooden star painted by my sister are in that box. The room feels bare without them, and the memories feel farther away with each passing minute. I retraced every step: from the couch to the coffee table to the kitchen threshold. If someone happened to have found them tucked behind the sofa or by the front door, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.
