Hi! I'm MeLinda, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you. I have over 20 years of experience in crafting candles. My daughter, Amber, and I began by gifting candles to loved ones during the holidays. As the years went by, we decided to turn our passion into a business.

As a child, I was always encouraged to follow my dreams by one of the most important women in my life—my grandmother, Amelia. She was deeply fond of a book called Forever Amber. Though it was banned in several states due to its provocative content, it eventually made it to the big screen in Technicolor. My grandmother had a profound impact on me, and when I became a mother to my lovely daughter, Amber, I knew I had to name her after this memorable book. Amber means everything to me, and in a way, I was able to honor both my daughter and my grandmother through her name.

When Amber left for college, I felt a void. It was Amber’s suggestion that I turn my hobby into a business, and thus, Forever Amber Candles was born.
