Flournoy Candle Company

What started as a passion for creating candles became something much bigger to me. It became a way to create, provide, dream, and build something that my children could watch grow.

I wasn’t just making candles.

I was building a legacy.

I loved taking my children with me to events. They got to see the behind-the-scenes work—the pouring, the preparation, the long days, the packing, the selling, and the excitement of watching someone choose something I had created with my own hands.

Then life changed.

COVID brought my business to a halt, and along the way, I lost so much of what I had worked to build. I eventually had to relocate and start putting the pieces of my life back together.

For a while, rebuilding my candle company felt almost impossible.

But the dream never completely left me.

So I started again.

One candle.

One scent.

One order.

One event.

One step at a time.

There have been moments when I’ve questioned myself. Moments when the financial pressure, disappointment, and uncertainty became overwhelming. I’ve struggled emotionally throughout this journey, and there have been days when walking away seemed easier than continuing.
