Candles by Celica
I started a small home business called "Candles by Celica” shortly after the passing of my mum in May 2022 in honour and in remembrance of her. I have since broadened my scope and make candles for Weddings, Christenings, Baptisms and Memorials, any and all occasions. My Motto is "Keeping Memories Alive". I am looking at booking a table at the Sunningdale Christmas market in December to sell some Candles for the Festive season. Below are my most common sizes and prices (per candle) I supply; however, I can personalise any size that is requred: Size 8cm x 10cm - R120.00 Size 8cm x 15cm - R195.00 Size 7cm x 18cm - R220.00 Attached is my flyer and a few pictures of some candles I have made for some clients. I also have a Facebook page, "Candles by Celica" that you are welcome to browse through and see the candles I have made so far.
A GRAZING AFFAIR
Hi, I am Ziggy, the owner of A Grazing Affair and it's safe to say that I have always been a foodie. From what I can remember my love for food started as young as 12, when I started cooking at home and using our family as guinea pigs for all my culinary creations. I have been in the catering industry for very many years, but the Grazing Boxes has been a passion of mine for quite some time. I finally took the leap in January 2021 with my late husband and started A Grazing Affair with the full support of our family and friends. I have very many to thank for the success of our venture; friends that became family, and my daughters who have been equally involved and helped out in so many ways. Thank you to all of our family, friends, and customers who have been coming back weekly to support our family business.
H & S Creations
Following my husband's battle with cancer, which unfortunately led to his inability to continue working as a driving instructor, we embarked on a new journey—a home-based laser cutting and engraving business named H&S Creations. The venture has been a source of solace for us and is flourishing steadily. I would be immensely grateful if you could take a moment to explore our Facebook page and, if you wish, peruse our catalog on WhatsApp.

Delightful Fantasies
I started my small business back when i was in my matric year to get some funds to help my parents pay for the necessary expenses, then i only sold fudge and stopped during my final exams. i decided to reopen this year but expand and do some changes. I love baking and cooking so running my small business does not only help me with some extra income it also helps me do what I love.
Below is a little picture of what my products are as well as a business card and a link to my social media.
