Five years ago my sister and I purchased this home.
We call it Buttermilk Cottage.
She resides on the ground floor
and I nest upstairs.
We both like to decorate so Christmasis a favorite time of year.
Susan and I have different styles and having our own
space is important to us.
Step onto the front porch
and meet our first tree.
It's an artificial tree that has been embellished with boughsor real evergreen.
I'm the outdoor girl and a nature lover,
this tree is my creation.
I've decorated it with things I've pulled from the
garden such as twig baskets and small tin birdhouses.
I also added some handmade ornaments I made frompaper, ink and yarn.
When you step into the living room, you see Susan's first tree.
We are all about theme trees here at Buttermilk Cottage.
This tree is home to all of Susan's sheep ornaments.
She is a big knitter and has been collecting sheep ornaments for
many many years.
This tree is adorned with all things knit related, like this knitting Santa.
Enter the dining room, you'll see Susan's second collection of
specialty ornaments. This is her "Santa on Animals" tree.
Reindeer is not the only animal Santa loves to ride.
Again this collection has happened through the years.

My space takes on a little different look. I told you I was the nature girl and so my rooms have that look.
Three simple green trees in my white pitchers.
I'm a gardener and must bring in many of my plants to winter.With that much green I don't have much space to add a tree.
