Die meeste Stellenbossers ken haar as \u201cdie tannie van Die Blomstalletjie\u201d of die vriendelike gesig in die fraai stalletjie oorkant die Eikestad Mall \u2013 iemand wat die mooiste blomruikers kan optower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaye Barbour gesels oor die nege jaar wat sy as bloemis die historiese Blomstalletjie bestuur. Die Blomstalletjie is bykans 50 jaar gelede deur \u2019n professor aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch se vrou, wat self \u2019n bloemis was, opgerig. Gaye is n\u00e1 die vorige eienaar se besluit om af te skaal, genader om Die Blomstalletjie oor te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het elke dag in die bloemiste ingestap en gevra \u2018Hoe kan ek help? Hoe kan ek help? Hoe kan ek help?\u2019 en my gesig het heel eerste opgekom toe die eienaar Die Blomstalletjie aan iemand anders wou oorgee,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In daardie stadium was Gaye op soek na \u2019n werksgeleentheid, en toe die eienaar haar kontak, was dit vir haar \u2019n gelukkige toeval \u2013 veral omdat sy van jongs af \u2019n voorliefde vir blomme koester. \u201cBlomme was altyd deel van ons familie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy herroep herinneringe uit haar kinderdae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het altyd blomme in ons huis gehad \u2013 in die kombuis en in die slaapkamers. My tannie was baie goed met blomme en het altyd Saterdae blomruikers gemaak. Ek het gedink dis normaal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaye het aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad studeer en n\u00e1 haar studies in die toneelw\u00eareld gewerk. Haar tannie het haar aangemoedig om haar liefde vir blomme uit te leef en sy het besluit om in te skryf vir \u2019n kursus wat deur die bekende bloemis Joan Pare in Constantia aangebied is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe die geleentheid om die leisels van die sakeonderneming oor te neem, oor haar pad kom, het sy geweet dat dit so moet wees en dit met albei hande aangegryp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir Gaye gaan haar werk oor veel meer as \u2019n blote inkomste en tydverdryf; sy wil \u2019n nalatenskap aan die volgende geslag oorlaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het \u2019n droom om meer van die stalletjies in Stellenbosch op te rig en mense op te lei om met blomme te werk.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het reeds die planne om s\u00f3 \u2019n inisiatief van stapel te stuur, maar s\u00ea sy net nog nie die regte span om die eerste saadjie te plant nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buiten di\u00e9 droom, gaan haar werk uit en uit oor haar passie vir blomme \u2013 en dit straal uit haar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs ek \u2019n ruiker maak, voel ek soos die ontvanger en dan skep ek \u2019n blomme-portret wat hulle gelukkig maak.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oomblik wanneer sy die bos blomme aan \u2019n kli\u00ebnt oorhandig en hulle \u2019n wow<\/i>-oomblik ervaar, weet sy sy het hulle reg gelees \u2013 en dit is die oomblikke wat haar werk vir haar die moeite werd maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaye het natuurlik ook al baie harte heelgemaak en gehelp om nuwe verhoudings te vestig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarvan kan die rye en rye studente getuig wat tydens Valentynsdag of huisdans-seisoen voor Die Blomstalletjie ophoop om die spesiale mens in hul lewe met Gaye se blomme te bederf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy geniet dit om met die studente te werk. Hul entoesiasme vir blomme simboliseer vir haar die toekoms en dit bring vir haar plesier en hoop om te weet dat die jongmense nog deel van spesiale oomblikke is \u2013 en dis natuurlik wat blomme simboliseer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar dis natuurlik nie altyd net maanskyn en rose om met blomme te werk nie, tog bied haar werk haar bevrediging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaye gesels ook oor die \u201cdonker oomblikke\u201d, wanneer sy blomruikers moet maak vir hartseer geleenthede soos die dood van \u2019n geliefde en so meer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
T\u00f3g, selfs in daardie tye, troos sy haarself daarmee dat haar kleurvolle blomme \u2019n bietjie troos en geluk sal meebring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk dink baie mense ry hier verby en dink \u2018Waarmee is die vrou doenig?\u2019, of meen ek kan geld maak deur iets anders te doen,\u201d s\u00ea Gaye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar vir haar gaan dit oor die deel van mense se lief en leed \u2013 en dit kry sy gewis reg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens Eikestadnuus<\/i> se besoek aan die stalletjie was dit duidelik sigbaar hoe sy elke kli\u00ebnt se ruiker byna magies bymekaar weef \u2013 elke ruiker gemaak om die kli\u00ebnt se behoefte te bevredig. Een soek \u2019n kleurvolle ruiker vir \u2019n vriendin en \u2019n ander \u2019n bietjie \u201cson\u201d vir haar huis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaye se menslikheid en vertroue in die mensdom kom ook na vore toe die kaartmasjien buite werking is en sy bloot die student vra om die volgende dag terug te kom om die ruiker te betaal. Hieroor gevra, s\u00ea sy: \u201cAgt en negentig (persent) van die mense sal terugkom; blomme-mense is \u2019n spesiale groep mense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tradisie is nie net in die stalletjie ingeweef nie, maar ook in die blomme wat \u2019n mens hier kry. Gaye probeer om so ver as moontlik haar blomme plaaslik te verkry. Die sonneblomme wat aan haar verskaf word, kom van dieselfde plaas wat 50 jaar gelede aan die eerste eienaar van Die Blomstalletjie gelewer het. Verder pronk daar ook \u2019n paar ander plaaslike produkte soos heuning en portrette op die rakke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As jy dus ooit op die nippertjie \u2019n verjaarsdaggeskenk vir \u2019n geliefde moet kry of bloot net \u2019n bietjie sonskyn nodig het, loop net in Andringastraat af en loer by Die Blomstalletjie in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
