Santa's checking his list..
I don't change the "theme" of our
cottage Christmas tree each year.
It looks very much like it did last year and the year before that.
I love using my red and white tulips, red rick rack, and vintage Christmas tablecloths in embroidery hoops. Last year I added my little white snow owl and red umbrella. This year I added red pom-pom fringe.
My little snow owl and red umbrella as our Christmas tree topper...
My Cherry Hill Cottage ornament Cathy painted me is front and center on our tree~

My sister Kathy gave me this darling enamel lid with hand-painted "cherries" for Christmas...
I thought it would be really, really cute hanging on our Christmas tree...
IT IS!!
THANKS Kathy Sue!

Tina...I am quite simply fascinated!
I adore the new addition...the snow owl...nestled into all of that red vintage.
Your lovely Cherry Hill Cottage tree just reeeeeeks HAPPY!
All of the specialized ornaments are just priceless!
Love it...love it!
XXOOXX
Cherry Hill is just such a special place!
Oh...I was in Walmart...had to smile when I saw your adorable dotted and striped Christmas dishes!
I had to hold one of the mugs...and I just ooohed and aaaawed wishing I hadn't made the decision to collect only WHITE dishes from hear on out...beginning to seem like a boring decision!

Nothing says love like a Christmas tree adorned with hand made gifts. It's a beautiful tree of friendship and love.
And speaking of love...I love the umbrella...may I say it? Ok, I will...just like a cherry on top!

Gorgeous! I really really love the idea of the vintage table clothes in hoops. I see so many out there that are just a little damaged but would be perfect used like this. Super clever! But then I'm not surprised.
Merry Christmas!

How wonderful! I love it all. I have an owl that I have been putting in one of my trees for years. Not quite as cute as yours though. And the hand painted ornaments are so sweet.

Sigh, I just love to visit Cherry Hill Cottage. :)

So pretty. I love the cherry accents-just perfect.
I'm so sorry I haven't been by much. Google has had my blog so messed up that I have spent hours daily trying to get it fixed and they have no idea how to help.
I have missed coming by. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and make some wonderful memories.

What a pretty tree! My tree is kind of messy because I let my kids decorate it. You sure know how to doll things up. Your Christmas house is adorable! Merry Christmas!
