Did any of you miss Painted Tree Boutiques?

goldie :
Same here. If only Steinmart was still here. Oh well, that's history. I wish the new tenants much success.

jv339 :
that was sad and stressful, they just got locked out :0 I had never shopped there, but know people who enjoyed going.

Chickadee :
I enjoyed it in the beginning and bought some unique hand crafted items. (One was a lamp made from a French reloader). After a while I felt like it was all the same stuff. Hairbows, clothing, and just things that did not stand out. I quit going. I do hope that the space is utilized and the entire center becomes successful.

I just made bank for that post!!! Woo Hoo! 💰💸🤑💲🪎 Typing my retirement letter now!

Chickadee : I spent way too much money everytime I walked in that place. Could always find something I didn't need. They had great one of a kind items you couldn't find just anywhere tho. I always thought it shoulda been called the 'unique boutique'.

Chickadee :
Only went there one time. They had nothing for me. No I do not miss the store.

Chickadee : Yes, My girls and I have missed the Painted Tree. I have heard another place called the Collective is moving in and it is like the Painted Tree. It was always very relaxing to shop the Painted Tree.

Ruger5 : Remember when they had places like the painted Tree and the merchandise being sold was antiques or hand made. I want shops like that! But, I did love going there.

LittleTexas : They got locked out for a temporary period of time while the management arranged a move-out process because apparently several vendors all showed up at once (understandable) to grab their things and it was chaotic. They were all told to come back at a certain time starting, I believe, the next day, so that an orderly tear-down and move-out could proceed and ensure vendors all got THEIR belongings and there was no theft.

goldie: Me too!

Kittle :
I do miss SteinMart. It was my go to for light weight quilts and shoes.

goldie :
I do too. I bought things there a lot of times.

goldie : Kittle : And Tuesday Morning too! That was such a fun store. I got our dogs some fancy Christmas outfits there.

I read that one of the Painted Tree booth owners, and perhaps others joined together to open a similar store in the same space. I think booths selling antiques/collectibles might be popular.

Chickadee :
Yes, Tuesday Morning was a favorite as well. Another favorite was Palais Royal. It was a good option for gift items. Their sale prices for children's clothes were fantastic.
