After 10 incredible years of Fiori With Love, Louise wants to share the bittersweet news that she has decided to put the business up for sale. While it wasn’t an easy decision, she is excited about the fresh energy and creativity new owners will bring.
"We hope to pass it on to someone who will continue to nurture and grow it — perhaps a mother and daughter, two friends, or simply someone with a true passion for creativity."
"It will break my heart to say goodbye, but there comes a time when you have to step back. This will also give us the chance to spend more time with our grandkids!"
