Landscape and GardenThis season has so far been a big success for Hana and Erika. They have been busy and working hard, never losing stride despite the rainy weather. They have remodeled and designed, maintained and resurrected customer’s gardens. To see some of the works these sisters have produced over the summer, visit their blog at proposintea.blogspot.com!

Back to School? Hana is going back to school at the end of August to begin her Junior year. This means that Erika will be working solo for much of the autumn months. Hana is excited about school starting again, she is happy about her science classes and starting her 3rd year of Latin! In her spare time, Hana will continue her clothing and jewelry projects. Hana is a artist – from fiber to fabric and paper to bead, she paints and sews her way through life. Hana works hard no matter what the subject – school or gardening. Full gratitude goes out to her for always doing her best this summer!
A Gardener’s Dilemma
The single dilemma of a gardeness in New Hampshire is: What will she do during the winter months (other than hibernate)? Erika is currently thinking of creative ways to work while the plants are dormant. She will definitely be spinning and creating fiber arts from her llama and Angora wool. Erika also has had the opportunity to be an Art Agent, selling hand carved wooden bowls and sculpture (see more on the next page). Will that be enough? If you have any grand ideas about how Erika should keep busy during the winter months, please let her know!
Erika and Hana would appreciate it if you could spread the word and let your friends, family, and neighbors know about the two sisters. Erika will be available through the autumn of 2009 for your home and business projects!
Livestock at White Mountain Llamas
Hana and Erika own 4 llamas, Arethusa, May, Bella, and Winny. Our newest addition, Winny, is for sale. She is a yearling female, ready for a new home now! Erika and Hana will attend the Maine State’s Fair at Fryeburg on September 28 – 29. They will be entered in the annual llama show and perform in demonstrations for public awareness of llamas. Winny went last year and behaved very well! She is pictured in the lower right hand corner.
A Little More Bunny in Your Life
White Mountain Llamas currently has 7 Angora rabbits (French hybrids) for sale! It is a litter ready for new homes in August (black torts and black steels). There are also two 3-year old does, a white and gray for sale. Angora rabbits are an inexpensive way to get luxury fiber for spinning and felting. We have Angoras in a variety of extraordinary colors! If you’re interested give us a call! We will also have a booth at the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival (www.vermontsheep.org/festival.html) in Tunbridge on October 3 & 4. Please visit us there for a great weekend of fiber arts!
Products
Hana and Erika care for Angora rabbits and llamas that produce fiber all year round. The sisters process the fiber into beautiful hand-spun yarn, scarves, hats, and other specialty garments. Currently some of our yarn is being sold at the Yarn Garden in Littleton, New Hampshire. We do not dye our yarn so one of our major purchase goals for animals is color! You can purchase any of our naturally colored fiber products at anytime. Just call or email Erika for more information! Erika and Hana also provide fiber lessons. If you want to learn how to spin or felt with animal fiber we will provide materials and can do individual and group lessons!
Art Agent? What Next?!
Erika’s Uncle, Dan Cadreact is a woodsman. In work and leisure, he always has en eye out for for the best pieces of wood to carve with. He is an inspirational artist and intriguing to work with. He’s given Erika the honor of selling his art. Dan specializes in bowls made from everything from bird’s eye maple to birch burls. He has an eye for color and pattern and spends hours hand carving his bowls to meet the perfect form. Of all shapes and sizes, Dan has many. Erika will be putting pictures of different bowls on the blog at proposintea.blogspot.com for your viewing pleasure and bringing samples around in her car for further inspection. Please ask about Dan Cadreact's hand-carved bowls and sculpture! If you have friends and family that collect or are interested in hand-carved, local art from New Hampshire’s forests, let them know about this art. It is certainly an opportunity you do not want to miss!

Thank you!
We want to thank you for supporting our business! We appreciate working for you and hope to continue providing you with quality service into the future!
There was lovely landscaping with rock walls and shrubbery: 
A client in Littleton had his driveway wash away in the recent rain downpours. I helped unload 4 yards of material from a pickup truck and made burms to channel water to the sides of the driveway. After I shaped the burms, the customer packed it by driving his truck or tractor over it and then a final shape and walah! It came out great.
Moving driveway material can get tiring. When I am worn out at the end of the day, I garden for an hour or so.
We keep the blueberry patch spotless!
Thanks for visiting the blog!
