About Us

Heather Astleford is the founder and owner of Old World Wassail. She was born and raised in Kansas, and has a background in marketing and advertising. After getting married in Kansas City, she and her husband moved to Louisiana and then Tennessee, where they started their family, before moving back to Kansas City in 2019. To this day she considers herself part Midwestern, part Southern and has a deep love for both cultures.

Heather is a mother to three children and wife to Daniel. She started Old World Wassail in 2023 when their youngest was only eight months old. She loves sweater weather on crisp fall days and is a trivia expert on The Golden Girls. Her favorite movies are 90s rom-coms. She’s more likely to listen to a podcast than to current music. She has an elderly barn cat who might be part Maine Coon. She considers herself one-third Martha Stewart, one-third Joanna Gaines and one-third Oprah Winfrey. And no matter how hard she tries, she can’t stay on top of the kid clutter.
