I was in the middle of my school day with my boys, when I got a message asking if I had read the news.
Painted Tree had declared bankruptcy and were stopping all operations immediately, asking for all vendors to come and clear out.
We rushed over hoping this was some sort of misunderstanding. It wasn’t!
The mood that day was incredibly sad( mix of emotions) but at the same time there was a support between small business owners that I had not seen before.
The vendors and employees at Mansfield Painted Tree have been incredible, showing grace, support and cheering on our small business dreams.
I am so sad for this chapter at Painted Tree to end. I will miss seeing the faces that I grew accustomed to on weekly even daily basis.
As of right now I am feeling displaced with several unknowns, but am encouraged with the kindness shown from other businesses to allow us vendors from Painted Tree to pop at their locations, giving us a chance to keep our business going and hopefully balance out the loss we just suffered.
As of now Shop Celis is still open online and if you are local please DM to come shop directly from my house. 🛍️
Also, if you know other Painted Tree vendors please show them some love and support in this time 🩷 A like, follow and commenting on our posts really help!
Thank you to those of you who like and comment on my posts, it means so much 🩷🙏🏻
