Wanneer het u besigheid begin?
Ek is al vir 20 jaar in die bedryf en het Linad Creations in Augustus 2001 begin.
Wat het u aangespoor om u besigheid te begin?
Houtwerk is my passie en ek het besef dat vakmanskap en diens altyd in aanvraag is.

Advies en insette met ontwerp van produkte benodig. Doelgemaakte kaste ontwerp volgens elke kliënt se unieke behoeftes en spesifikasies. ‘n Algemene nutsman- en onderhoudsdiens word ook gelewer.
Watter voordeel het u bo u mededingers?
Flink diens, goeie pryse, kwaliteit produkte. ‘n Gerekenariseerde 3D program word gebruik sodat die kliënt presies kan visualiseer hoe die eindproduk sal lyk.

Kaste word in die werkswinkel vervaardig en op terrein geiinstalleer.
Elke projek wat ek sukesvol voltooi is en bly vir my ‘n hoogtepunt. Positiewe terugvoer van tevrede kliënte is die aansporing wat my dryf tot die lewering van uitmuntende produkte en diens.

Algemene onderhoud en herstelwerk.
Die belangrikste boodskap wat jy met die gemeenskap wil deel?
Ek beskou goeie diens en vakmanskap as die rég van elke kliënt en nié as ‘n voorreg nie.
Suzan en Antoinette is die 2 dames aan die stuur van FAB CREATIONS.
Gemotiveer, deur die wil om na verskeie onsuksesvolle projekte van dié een ‘n sukses te maak, droom die dames groot.
Hulle is reeds 8 dames en as jy so na hulle luister, twyfel ‘n mens nie dat hulle die nodige kennis en vermoëens besit om deur te druk en uiteindelik sukes te bereik nie.
Met die nodige hulp en bystand van die Munisipaliteit en hopelik ook van die Staat, waar hulle as ‘n werkskeppingsprojek geregistreer is, kan dinge net beter.
Hulle hoofdoel is om so uit te brei, dat vele ander persone uit hulle gemeenskap betrek kan word en sal by baat vind.
Ook om die persone dan op te lei vir ‘n spesifieke taak sodat hulle daaruit ‘n inkomste kan verdien.
So word mense bemagtig en ontwikkel hulle ‘n gevoel van waardigheid.
Ons wens hulle alle sukses toe.

Besigheids Fokus – Peperboom restaurant en koffiewinkel
By BylineAdmin on August 30, 2013
Hierdie groot ou peperboom, wat na alle waarskynlikheid oor die 200 jaar oud is, se dik stam getuig van baie jare se ontbering hier in GrootBrak. Net so, is die Peperboom restaurant
egter ook al vir baie jare ‘n bekende oase waar vriende en familie bymekaarkom om saam te kuier en die innerlike te versterk.
Sowat 7 jaar gelede het die huidige eienares besit geneem van die Peperboom. Die entoesiasme waarmee sy haar winkel bestuur is aansteeklik. Klem word veral gele op kwaliteit, en hul sukses word bevestig deur die vakansiegangers wat jaar na jaar terugkeer om weer hier te kom kuier.
Peperboom beskik oor ‘n binnenshuise- sowel as buitenshuise eetarea. Beide areas sluit ook ‘n speelarea vir kinders in, wat dit uiters geskik maak vir gesinsfunksies en kuiers. Binne kan 55 gaste geakkomodeer word en buite 35. Daarom is dit ook uiters geskik vir en gewild vir intieme troues en funksies.
Hulle is baie bekend vir die ontbytspyskaart. Vir die kieskeurige eter wat hou van meer eksotiese disse is daar heerlike “sushi” en dan is die pasta en pizza’s op die spyskaart ook glad nie te versmaai nie. Voeg daarby hul gesonde “wraps” wat al op die KKNK gaan draai het, en ‘n instelling geword het by die Saterdagmark in George, en jy het geen rede om met ‘n leë maag weg te stap van Peperboom af nie.
Hulle is baie betrokke by fietsry-en staproete geleenthede wat in hierdie area aangebied word. Die Grab-a-doo aan die einde van Desember is vir hulle ‘n groot hoogtepunt.
Peperboom is ook baie betrokke by liefdadigheid. Die bekende “Vuurvliegies” kom een maal ‘n kwartaal hier bymekaar vir die afgelope 6 jaar reeds. Die opheffingsprojek by Friemersheim se bossies Lavender en pakkies Fudge is Woensdae hier te koop.
Die pragtige gebou van Peperboom kan nie misgekyk word as jy in Langstraat ry nie. Net soos wat die ou peperboom ‘n rotsvaste baken van Grootbrak is, is die Peperboom restaurant en koffiewinkel ook ‘n baken van samesyn en bymekaarkom vir beide inwoners en toeriste.
Business Focus – The Pink Haus
Describe your business in a short paragraph:
It is a venue for promoting textile and fibre artists in South Africa. Exhibitions of work are held to expose the public to fibre art and classes teaching various techniques are held throughout the year.
What prompted you to start/buy your business?
My husband died and I was left alone in a huge house in a beautiful setting which I didn’t want to leave. I’ve been involved with textile/fibre art in South Africa for many years so decided to fill my home with works of art and invite people to come and share them with me. I call it a Living Gallery for two reasons – firstly I live and work here, secondly, on Thursdays there is a group of people who come here to work on their individual pieces. Visitors love to come and see ‘Work in Action”.
Anyone with a creative spirit who enjoys interesting and beautiful things. ( And I believe that everyone has a creative spark somewhere inside them – sometimes they just need help in letting it out.). Anyone looking to purchase fibre art.
Exhibitions are held throughout the year and there is usually a visiting teacher who conducts classes three or four times a year. From September 17 till October 17 there will be the ‘Inhibitions Exhibition’, a collection of work from South African artists. During this time Melanie Brummer will be teaching textile printing and dyeing techniques. From December 1 till January 16 2014 there will be an exhibition of 90 works entitled “Movie Directors”. These are from artists in Korea, Japan, France and South Africa and are travelling around the world so I’m excited about having them here. I have exhibitions booked until March 2015 but there will also be a constantly changing display of Fibre art from artists in the Cape and Eastern Cape. I plan on starting to teach again – probably in the new year. The Gallery will also have a selection of beautiful hand made patchwork quilts for sale – all made by local quilters.
The Pinkhaus is the only gallery in the Garden Route that specializes in textile art. Because of my years of involvement with textile artists around South Africa I have an incredible group of friends and artists whose work and knowledge I can draw from. South African artists in this field are some of the best in the world but they are not really recognized for their work in South Africa
Organised the Travelling Exhibition “Round the Bend” for the South African Quilters’ Guild which toured South Africa for 18 months. This particular exhibition proved to be the second most popular exhibition that the Pretoria Art Gallery had ever had and I had to fight to get them to show it originally. Being an ‘ART’ gallery, and the top one in the country to boot, they felt that textile art was ‘craft’. When I showed them photographs of the work they changed their collective minds and exhibited them. They even bought a piece by Roy Starke. That gave me a huge amount of personal satisfaction. (By the way – the MOST popular exhibition at the Pretoria Art Gallery was the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition which was travelling the world so we were in good company!)
Was commissioned to make replica quilts for the Museum of Cultural History in Pretoria and for the Pioneer Museum in Pretoria..
Have written articles for various magazines about aspects of working with textiles.
Appeared on Kyknet’s Art programme being interviewed about textile art. (Very difficult because my Afrikaans is atrocious!)
It’s not an intense ‘business’. It’s different, very relaxed and people enjoy being here. They leave here feeling uplifted, it’s very gratifying.
“Through experience, I’ve learnt that ……………”
if you do what you love and can survive that’s real success.
“In future my business will offer …………….”
more classes. In September Melanie Brummer (of ‘Show me How’ fame) is teaching for three days. In March 2014 Kathryn Harmer- Fox is teaching here and I will be looking for more teachers before year’s end. I’m excited too because the Gallery has been included in the new Art Route in Great Brak, is involved in the Muse Festival at the end of September and has also been put on the Fragrance Route which is an initiative to draw tourists inland from Great Brak towards the lovely village of Friemersheim in order to create work for the many unemployed folk in that area.
Doing something creative, even if it is planting a seed in a pot and nurturing it, helps to lift your spirits. Better than Prozac.
