So I know many of you are aware but many are not, but after so much deliberation I have decided whilst the business is at its peak, and I am not 🤣 that I am ready to take some much needed rest after 14 years!!!!
So if you know anyone who is artistic and passionate and looking to invest in a thriving business, then please check out the post on my agents site.

I have loved every minute building Heartfelt and I am very proud of where it is today, but after years of grafting my body has finally said enough plus I need to spend some time with my family as I am missing out on so much, so I would love to now give someone else the opportunity who will love heartfelt as much as I have, to take this on to its next decade of success ❤️
