Welcome to Painted Tree Refugees

A new home for the community that made Painted Tree special

Stephen Oliver

Founder, Painted Tree Refugees

When Painted Tree Boutique announced it was closing all of its locations, hundreds of independent vendors, makers, and small business owners were left scrambling. Years of booth-building, customer relationships, and brand identity — suddenly without a home.

We built Painted Tree Refugees because we believed the community deserved better than just disappearing.

What this site is

Painted Tree Refugees is a free, community-maintained directory. If you were a vendor at any Painted Tree Boutique location, you can list your business here — your new location, your website, your social media — so your loyal customers can find you again.

How to get listed

It takes about two minutes. Head to the Register page, fill in your business details, and we'll review your submission within 24 hours. Once approved, your listing goes live and customers can find you immediately.

For customers

Browse the directory at paintedtreerefugees.com/directory. You can search by business name, filter by category (jewelry, home decor, candles, clothing, and more), or filter by the former Painted Tree location you used to visit.

This is just the beginning

We're adding new vendors every week. If you know a former Painted Tree vendor who hasn't listed yet, share this site with them. The more vendors who join, the more useful this becomes for everyone.
