If you know of anyone who had a space in Painted Tree, or you’ve shopped with a vendor located within Painted Tree in the past - please share them with me!

The ebbs and flows of small business ownership are difficult enough. To find out that not only charged a full month’s rent of these vendors that they are not going to fulfill, but are also not paying out the vendors for the entire month of their April sales is absolutely deplorable.

Vendor friends, if there is anything that I can do to help support you - let me know! Ways to shop with you, a lookout for a new home, help in moving your items out of the store so you don’t have the additional expense of a moving truck, etc. I’m here!

Richmond, thank you for making my kick off to market season so wonderful!!

I got to spend the weekend with some of my favorite humans and could not be happier. It was a full 2 days of cackling, sass, bad singing, and loving that Mother Nature finally gave us a weekend full of perfect temperatures. I am so happy to be back on the market circuit and will see you next weekend! 🩵🌻

Being vertically challenged will have you doing some real sketchy… err… I mean… creative… things to get your tent walls locked and loaded.

Bet it’s the first time you’ve seen a Bills fan trying NOT to break a table though!

A stepladder will be added to my must have list for tomorrow, for sure. 🤣

I think I’m just going to go ahead and say it - 2025 was my favorite year yet.

A year of new experiences, new locations, and new friends. I grew so much both personally and within my business. The challenges were difficult, but felt SO good to overcome!

I got to continue my relationship with Fetch and painted three steel pets this year for varying events and businesses, and was able to volunteer to help set up this year’s Pets on Parade. Was able to donate groceries and personal items in the month of November to multiple local food banks and community fridges. And ended my year with the opportunity to have both a Silver Bell and an Angel Tree - and was able to complete both of their wishlists. Being able to give back to local organizations has always been a pillar of how and why I have my small business. Every hard earned dollar you spend with me, I have always made it a focus to put a large portion of it back into our community. YOU all made it possible.

Hurting myself towards the end of the year really scared me because I wasn’t sure if I could participate in any markets this holiday season. I am so completely grateful for the coordinators who shifted my spot to make it easier to load in and out. To my vendor besties for helping unpack bins or pulling my wagon. To my mom for ALWAYS showing up and protecting my physical and my mental peace. It really was a humbling experience to have so many people step in to help and I am so grateful to each of you for it.

Thank you for making all of my dreams come true, year after year.
I’ll see you in 2026 🥂
xo, Catherine

To everyone who came out to Carytown this weekend, THANK YOU!!

I am again, at a loss for words to describe just how full my heart is. Thank you for braving the crowds yesterday. Thank you for coming out in the snow(?!?!) and bitter temps this morning. Thank you for all the conversations. Thank you for taking my little babies home with you. Thank you for being patient with me as I was replenishing everything for you. Thank you for just being you, Richmond.

I am so happy to have spent the weekend cackling with you. I love being your market neighbor because you make any day so much dang fun! Thanks for staying cozy with me all weekend. Love you xx

And finally, I just have the most indescribable level of appreciation for my mom and (who genuinely does like us, despite this face 🤣) for helping to hold down the fort and constantly moving to make sure our tents and merchandise were secure. and for helping me and Carri get packed up quickly and safely! Yall are the real MVPs for hanging in there while we were in limbo mode.

I love you ALL and I’ll see you next Sunday (INSIDE) at for the final market of the year.

Stay warm
Xo
