meet the maker
My name is Ashleigh, and I am the creator of Yarra Candles!
my story
People have asked me “Why Yarra candles” Well I spent the early years of my life on a property on the river between Swan Reach and Blanchetown called Yarramundi. My time on this property has left me with many fond memories.
​
So why start making candles? Well anyone who knows me, knows I always have a candle burning at home, so I decided to start making the candles for myself. I really enjoyed doing this, and with the encouragement from family and friends, I thought why not go into business for myself selling these products!
Hence where Yarra Candles has come from. (Yarra - every flowing river)
​
Watching my business grow has been an amazing experience for me. Honestly, I have all of you to thank for this as well as my family and friends. Without you all, this would only be a dream and not now a reality.
​
Please help me share this passion of mine for making candles by sharing/liking/buying candles and spreading the word to family and friends.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds, and I can’t wait to share it with you all.
Much love to you all xoxo
