Arts and Crafts Studio for the Entire Family in Minneapolis, MN

A message from Owner Lisa MacMartin:

After almost 15 years in Linden Hills,I am so very sad to announce that Heartfelt is closing. The Hawkinson family has sold the building, and the shop will close by the end of February 2026. I have no information about the buyers, but I have heard that they plan to open a coffee shop and a realtor’s office in the space.

On Thursday January 8th our store closing sale begins. Merchandise will be 25% off, with several exceptions: Heartfelt Craft Kits, in-store crafts, birthday parties, and our Preschool Winter Festival, will not be discounted. Fixtures and furniture will be marked for sale–some will be available immediately, some in later January and into February . Our “sale corner” will be expanded, with items priced as marked. Additional discounting may happen in the coming weeks. Details will be posted here on our website, in the shop, and on social media.

All sales will be final during the store closing sale. Please redeem all gift cards now, as they will become void after the shop closes.

February will be our last month hosting birthday parties. We will hold our Preschool Winter Festival on Thursday January 12th as planned but all future preschool festivals after that (February through May) are cancelled.

Our Winter Craft Menu will be our last–see the link below. We will continue business as usual for as long as possible but it’s hard to predict exactly how long it will make sense to staff the shop as normal. Please call ahead if you plan to come craft.

From the day Heartfelt opened in 2011, it has been the joy of my life, a creative and social outlet that is almost as much a part of me as breathing. What will I do after Heartfelt closes? I’m 66 years old, so finding another location to start again is impractical, both financially and energy-wise. I plan to continue selling our craft kits online (a new website will keep me busy for a while) and there may be other parts of the business I will carry on, crafting pop-ups perhaps—it’s hard to say right now. Feel free to share any thoughts or ideas you may have about this!

My wonderful staff will be looking for work—please keep them in mind if you or anyone you know is looking for help. They are the best—I will miss working with them terribly!

Thank you for your support of Heartfelt over the years. The saddest part of closing the shop for me is that I will miss you, our customers and especially the children so very much.
