It’s with such bittersweet emotions that I have to make this announcement. I’m closing the online portion of the shop, effective Oct. 7. If you’re local, have no fear BOTH Painted Tree locations will remain open!

If you want to hear the fluff/reason behind I’m closing, keep reading. You can also head to stories for a little bit more info.

Back in March/April of this year, I felt the Lord calling us into something pretty scary. Foster care. I approached my husband about it and we spent months praying and talking to those who had been through this. About mid summer we both knew that this is what the Lord was calling us to do.
*
We've been knee deep in the process for about 2 months now. Filling out allllll the paperwork, taking classes and doing quite a bit of home remodel too. The room that is currently my office will become a bedroom which means I will no longer have a place to store inventory. And it's kinda hard to run a product based business when you don't have inventory. 🙃

There's a lot about foster care that we can't control & you deal with a lot of variables. Here's what I can tell you at the moment, we are taking two children between the ages of 2-5 and we could have them as soon as the end of November. Like I said, there's a whole lot of variables that will play into that but we are trusting the Lord's timing.

I'm sure there will be at least one more sappy/thank you post up before Oct. but I still have to say it now. I'm eternally grateful for the support y'all have given me. SO many of you are regular/repeat customers which means sssooooo much to a small business owner. It gives them validation, encouragement and it for sure kept me going on those hard times.

Shop will remain open until then & orders are still shipping next day. And yes, I’ll have one last sale later this week. 😉
