Our Story

Hello! My name is Lisa and I'm the owner/creator of Fiddle & Flame Candle Co. In addition to being a candle maker, I'm also a musician and a mom. I began pouring candles about 14 years ago as a hobby and to give as gifts to friends and family. At the time, our family was living in the beautiful Ozark hills of southwest Missouri. 

My candle making took a hiatus as our family of 5 began playing together as a family band, traveling and performing all across the country. For 5 years we traveled full-time, performing in 16 different states and living in our tour bus. In 2017, we decided to move our family's home base to middle Tennessee. We have fallen in love with the state and all it has to offer, from the music found in every corner of every town, to the rolling hills and beautiful landscape. We are located in the small rural town of Unionville, TN, just a short drive south of Nashville.

I began making candles again in 2021, however this time around I was determined to make better candles. I researched and tested different waxes, fragrances and wicks and began to learn everything I could about making candles that burned better, stronger and cleaner. The process was not quick but I enjoy pouring candles so much that I didn't mind at all! I found that I could make the best candles with a coconut/soy wax blend that is both paraben and phthlate free. The coconut/soy wax creates a beautiful candle with a smooth top and a creamy white color that burns evenly with an amazing fragrance throw.

In our travels, we found that a candle could make our space feel like home wherever we happened to be. Now that our home is Tennessee, we have found inspiration in creating candles that give a nod to the music and landscape of the Volunteer state. So wherever you happen to live, it's my hope that Fiddle & Flame candles will bring a little Tennessee magic into your home!
