Happy Monday. . . I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I spent the weekend decking the halls and enjoying some Christmas nesting on the porch.
To kick off the holiday season, I’m joining 5 other bloggers for a Holiday Home Tour with Lynch Creek Farm and a wonderful giveaway to help you deck the halls and feather your nest!
We enjoy our porch 10 months out of the year and are fortunate to have mostly mild and sunny weather throughout the month of December.
To make things merry and bright on the porch, I added some blankets and books to curl up with for some cozy reading and Christmas inspiration.
Cardinal ornaments have flown in to land in a glittery nest, tucked in among pine cones in a poinsettia-filled basket. . .
And adding a seasonal and vibrant pop of red, to hang from a birdhouse.
And a cardinal-lidded teapot is ready to pour a Christmas blend!
I had a little Christmas nesting inspiration from this Wildlife Adventure Wreath from Lynch Creek Farm, complete with a cardinal perched on a noble fir bough and cheery red bird house!
Lynch Creek Farm wreaths are the freshest in the industry, with fresh evergreens procured from the forests in their backyard of the great Pacific Northwest.
Evergreens are ancient symbols of strength, protection, prosperity, and long life in the midst of winter and I love the fragrance they lend at Christmas! A combination of Noble fir, white pine, incense cedar and juniper are tied with a plaid bow, paired with pine cones, mixed with faux red berries.
A pair of pillows make for comfortable and cozy nesting, with a bird bundled in a scarf and Santa hat, ready for wintry weather.
A Wildlife Centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm, with glass hurricane and pillar candle, is flanked by two cardinals. A combination of noble fir, white pine, and Western Red, Port Orford, and incense cedar make for a fresh and fragrant centerpiece, complete with a nest, ribbon, pine cones and berry clusters. I added some eggs to the nest and placed the centerpiece on a tree slice charger for a woodland accent.
Lynch Creek Farm is a small, family owned company, dedicated to producing sustainable evergreen products. Evergreen boughs are cultivated by trimming the lower branches of younger, coniferous trees in healthy and robustly forested areas, along the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.
Once a tree matures to 15 – 20 years in age, it is no longer trimmed for boughs. This practice prolongs the lifespan of the woodlands, ensuring they will continue to grow and thrive for decades to come.
I moved the centerpiece to a table to enjoy by the twinkling lights of the tree.
A tartan plaid throw provides a tablecloth with tree slice chargers, accented with bits of greenery to elevate Lenox Winter Greetings plates.
A nuthatch, chickadee, and cardinal are perched among the holiday greenery on the plates, festooned with red ribbon, holly and mistletoe.

Hi Mary. Love all the wreaths and centerpieces but I would have to choose the Home Sweet Home as my favorite. Love the little birdhouse with evergreens and the nesting cardinal!!!
Well I may not get a chance to win a prize since I am in Australia but I can still enjoy the wonderful ideas you come up with and hopefully try and replicate some. This is a gorgeous start.
Southern Magnolia wreath ❤️ Is my fav but all are beautiful!
Thank you for the wonderful post, happy holidays to you!
Your porch looks amazing! I would choose the wildlife centerpiece just like you used. Thanks for sharing!
Your porch is a delight! Love the wildlife centerpiece!
This really gets me in the Christmas spirit. I’m going to town!
Mary, as always you have outdone yourself on creating a beautiful, beautiful Holiday table and porch. I find myself (as always) scrolling up and down catching every gorgeous detail. Thank you for also giving us great history of the evergreen. I love that Lynch Creek Farm is family owned and takes pride in creating beautiful, quality products for us to enjoy. I always love seeing your porch decked out for each season, but there is something missing….the girls!!!
Mary your porch is perfect with the fresh wreath and centerpiece! Love your cardinal theme that you carried out so beautifully! The Lenox pattern is still one of my faves! Your porch has welcomed the Christmas season!
It’s hard to choose from all of the lovely wreaths, but I think I would take the Country Christmas. You did a wonderful job decorating with the theme of the wreath they sent you. Just beautiful.
Wow…they all are gorgeous, beautiful and very affordable! I’d choose Pacific Bay…simple elegance! You had a beautiful post today! Thank you once again!
Your photos are all so beautiful! I love all the birds and cardinals.
I like the Mr. Snowy Centerpiece.
Thank you for introducing us to Lynch Greek Farm. I love all of the wreaths but I would pick Western Lantern.
I was SO impressed with all the selections from Lynch Creek Farm! My husband and I operated Burger’s Christmas Tree Farm for 25 years. We had to give it up because of health reasons. It was hard to decide on a favorite item but I will chose the wreath called Frozen Pine.
Lynch Creek has such lovely things, I love the Hunters Hollow centerpiece. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous porch.
Such gorgeous wreaths! It’s hard to choose, but I would love Snowbound! Thanks for introducing us to Lynch Creek Farm!
Mary your porch and tablescape are stunning. I am obsessed with cardinals and invite a flock to my own Christmas decor. I found the information about Lynch Creek Farms heartwarming. Beautiful products produced in a sustainable way by a family business- definitely a company to support. Love your Lennox China. You are always an inspiration. Blessings
Thanks for the Lynch Creek Farm site; beautiful products. I love the Wildlife Centerpiece and the Wildlife Adventure wreath. Thanks for showing such beautiful ideas.
What a great giveaway Mary! I LOVE the Vintage Glow centerpiece!! I’m sure I’d have some fun with the red lantern once the holidays are over too. Your pics are all beautiful and yes, I’d like to cuddle up on your comfy porch to read and relax for a while (hot toddy implied:@)
I like the bronze magnolia. Thanks for introducing me to Lynch Creek Farms. Have a Merry LKN Christmas!
I would love to snuggle up on your lovely porch with a cup of hot chocolate and read every page of those books. I, too, enjoy our porch and would love to have the Vintage Glow centerpiece to add a soft ambiance at night. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Beautiful porch this year. The site for the farm was fascinating and all their products beautiful. Hard to choose but I think I would pick the Silver Deluxe because I am using lots of mercury glass in my decorating this year.
Thanks Mary, they are all beautiful ,but I think Blueberry burlap as I decorate in purple and green!! Thank you for sharing!!
Cute, cute, cute, Mary! That wreath and centerpiece are perfect with your porch decor. I love the cardinals and enjoy watching them in our yard. I decorate with those, too. Now, I want to come hang out with you on your festive porch.
You are such an amazing woman…..I love the idea of using the Tartan plaid along with birds & their nests……I’m in love with the Nautical Delight….Being landlocked here in Colorado, I so long for the sweet serenity of the sea….Thank you my friend & God Bless you!!!!
Love your porch with the beautiful greenery and cardinals my favorite bird but that little chickadee on the Hunters Hollow centerpiece was the sweetest! So many beautiful pieces to choose from and I swear I could smell that evergreen from the website!
Love, love them all!! It was hard to choose but my choices would be the Wildlife Centerpiece and the Red Elegance wreath..Red is my favorite color and both would go with all the red I decorate with! Love all the tartan also…thanks fir all the lovely ideas and giveaways..GOOD LUCK to all..and thank you Lynch Creek..🎄🎄🎄
I like the Mr. Snowy centerpiece.
What a wonderful find- the Lynch Creek site has some wonderful choices. If I had to narrow it down I’d choose the “Christmas by the Bay” centerpiece as it is so traditional. Thank you for sharing your cozy porch; could cozy up there with a book anytime!
The Wild Life Wreath, beautiful. Thanks for the great inspiration to get me going.
Wow! Decisions, decisions! I love the Hunter’s Hollow centerpiece (among many). Lovely post, as always. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. Thanks for the introduction to Lynch Creek. Happy Happy and a ho Ho HO!
Your porch looks so inviting and cozy with the woodland motif Mary! It was a pleasure joining you in the blog hop for Lynch Creek Farm!
Love the Holly Hill Basket. Had to laugh as we must drive by there as we stop in Shelton for supplies on our way to our Hoodsport cabin. Can usually spot the neat side trips in a flash–my radar must be broken.
Evergreen Orb
The Country Christmas wreath suits me just fine. Love the red berries. Wildlife was a close second. Birds seem to be taking over my Christmas decorating this year. Your porch is for the birds, and that is a good thing.
Good morning Mary,
Your porch is so festive, cheerful, and inviting. What a blessing you have to enjoy it throughout the year. My choice for a wreath would be “Owl Be Home”. We live in the country and have the enjoyment of hearing owls hoot. I think they’re beautiful birds. This owl wreath with acorns and rustic colors is my cup of tea. Thank you for giving us this opportunity.
“Owl be home for Christmas” beautiful wreath reminds me of my seeet Mom singing the song while baking Christmas cookies together. This beautiful wreath 🎄made my heart ❤️ Sing🎵. Thanks for the memories👍
Beautiful wreath and centerpiece, and so artfully arranged in your setting. I am always amazed at your creativity.
I had a hard time choosing. They are all beautiful. I went with the Mr. Snowy centerpiece. My kids would love it.
Love them all, but I would chose the Wildlife centerpiece or the Wildlife wreath. Cardinals and Chickadees are my favorite birds and with the temperatures dropping, the feeders are in constant use. Your porch is very cozy and welcoming. The outside decorating is complete, today I start on the inside.🎄Thanks for the blog hop.
Thank you so much for offering such a lovely and generous giveaway! I would choose Two Turtle Doves.
My favorite wreath is the Country Christmas wreath under the Farm Favorites section…..so pretty!! Love your decorations, especially your table with the pretty place settings!
I love the Mixed Holly.
Oh my you are the inspiration!!! Love your porch!! I visited Lynch Creek Farm what beautiful items I would love the Country Christmas wreath or the Country Sleigh centerpiece … But to tell the truth it was so hard to pick one thing I have never won anything in my life but thank you for sharing
Hi~ Owl Be Home was my favorite because it reminds me of a granddaughter who loves owls! This post inspired me to get my Christmas spirit into full gear and do a little more decorating and ‘pay it forward’ giving. Thank you for the inspiration!
Silver Elegance. Your porch looks amazing. Love that bird house too. I love color!!!
Your blog is always my favorite.
Golden magnolia would make my table perfect. I love the birds in your decor. Wish I had your decorating talent
What a great idea! I love the simplicity of the leaping deer. ☺️
I love your decorating – everything is just perfect. I like the wildlife centerpiece.
Oh Mary, I wish I could join you on your cozy porch! I love how you used the iron piece to hang your wreath. Your table is set beautifully, with your Lenox China on the tartan plaid table covering. What a great giveaway!!! I would choose the Country Wreath, or the Country Sleigh. I guess I’m a country girl at heart. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
So difficult to choose a favorite, but I also am enchanted by the Wildlife centerpiece!
I love the “Mixed Holly” wreath (26 inches). I can almost smell the fragrant pine scent now! This is an awesome giveaway!
I absolute love your porch all decked out for Christmas/Winter. I absolute love porches…they are my weakness. Your porch is just gorgeous!
It’s beginning to look like Christmas! I love the woodland centerpiece. I decorated with plaid this year too! Love the wreaths but it is too hot here in Florida to enjoy on my front door. Guess I could put it on the inside!! Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven.
Hi Mary – your post is just gorgeous. I have to say that I am picking your same wreath – the Wildlife Adventure Wreath. My reason is sort of sad, however. We just lost my beloved mother in law a month ago and she absolutely loved cardinals, so I’m decorating with cardinals here and there this year in her honor 😔. Thank you so much for this amazing chance of a giveaway! Happy Holidays! Hugs, Dorinda
I love the vintage glow centerpiece. The lantern is adorable! I am enjoying reading your blog and am getting lots of decorating inspiration from it. Thanks!
The wildlife centerpiece with the red Cardinals is perfect for a baseball loving Missourian like me. Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful company, they have the most gorgeous things.
I love cardinals so I would pick the Wildlife Centerpiece. Love all of the cardinals “nesting” on your porch!
As always, I love your holiday (or any day) decorating. You are so gifted! Lynch Creek Farms offers such beautiful arrangements that I had to choose two! LOL….the Mountain Vineyard and the Hunter’s Hollow. They both have the colors and theme that I am incorporating this year. Merry Christmas and thank you for this give-away!
Beautiful. …thanks for the inspiration. Owl Be home love….we have watched a baby owl blossom into a beautiful mature bird. I have pictures of when he was little and have watched him or her grow over the last year and a half. He will nest in a tree outside our house and we are always watching for him. We live in a mountain community called Big Canoe located in Georgia. So I though you would enjoy the reason that I picked that wreath. Terry.
The snowberry glow centerpiece is gorgeous!!! Thanks for putting all these wonderful ideas together. You make my day every day….
I so love your post, every detail is just so beautiful. Such an inviting porch. I love the wild life items and found Lynch Creek Farm so affordable and just beautful items. Thank you for sharing.
I can’t wait to get out my Winter Greeting dishes now! I would pick the Country Sleigh centerpiece. I think it would fit perfectly on my small table in the sun room. Thank you for the opportunity!
So stunning Mary, I am madly drinking coffee and lapping up ideas this morning to gear up for decking the halls! I love all your greens and bright red birds! What a generous giveaway and a wonderful kick off to the holiday season! Merry Jolly!
Jenna
I want to thank you for introducing the other ladies I have signed up for their sites and commented on each of them their homes are beautifully done
So beautiful Mary. I love your sharing so beautifully the story of Lynch Creek Farm and how the trees are harvested. I am grateful for those who take care of our earth. My son in law is a forester so he has taught me lots about the forest and tree planting. This is an amazing post with the fresh greenery and cardinals. I like Tis the Season wreath. Thank you.
Dear Mary,
I would choose Wildlife Adventure as we are moving to a new home on Dec. 18th and it is a new adventure for us too. Your site is beautiful. Thank you.
Love the Wildlife Centerpiece! So enjoy reading your posts!
Thanks Mary for the wonderful giveaway.
I’d pick the Hunter’s Hollows centerpiece.
It would be great in my family room which has a “lodge like decor”.
I absolutely love your blog. I visit regularly when you come to my email.
You are such an inspiration
The “Evergreen Orb” is my favorite, would LOVE to have it! Your setting on the porch is gorgeous, I love the trellis! How wonderful that you got a wreath and centerpiece. I am sure the scent is heavenly!!! Have a beautiful day, Mary!
Mary, I WANT THEM ALL!!! But since I have to choose, I choose Wildlife Centerpiece. What a beautiful way to start my day! I’ve got a lot to do today, but I am now inspired to start my decorating. As always, I am so enamored with your porch!
After abstaining from Christmas posts since Halloween (a protest of sorts) I was so thrilled to see your tasteful as well as gorgeous—natural elements Christmas post. Really love this and now I’m off to make an advent calendar of sorts for the Grand!
I covet the tabletop centerpiece with the rustic red lantern!
Your post is, once again, a delight to my eyes. I love to study your combinations before planning my own. The products are all amazing, especially the city skyline wreath. Thank you fro the opportunity to win one.
Carolyn K.
Love the Two Turtle Doves wreath!

:) gwingal
I love your blogs! Birds and nature are my, “cup of Tea!.” Therefore I’d love to have the Wildlife Centerpiece.”
Love your post this morning! I would be so happy with the Wildlife Centerpiece as it would go so well with my Lenox Winter Greetings tablecloth that I have been using at Christmastime for many years! Thank you for sharing Lynch Farms, I love their sustainability practices and as I too live in the foothills of the Cascades, they are almost our neighbors. What a lovely way to begin the holiday season! Greetings from Boring, Oregon!
I prefer the blended bay wreath
Love the Majestic Magnolia wreath! (rusthawk at gmail dot com)
I like the wildlife adventure wreath just like yours!
I love the wildlife adventure wreath! It’s stunning!
My heart was captured by the little cardinal in the Home Sweet Home centerpiece.
Oooh – so many pretties! Majestic Magnolia wreath and Southern Charm centerpiece are my favs.
Home sweet home for me
I look forward to your posts Mary, you certainly have a gift for decorating. We have seen your pups and even a picture of your husband on the boat. I don’t think we have ever seen a picture of you? I enjoyed looking at the wreaths and centerpieces at Lynch Creek farms. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the Country Sleigh centerpiece.
Glad Tidings
Such gorgeous wreaths. I can smell the fresh pine.
I would choose the Cinnamon Candy Apple, or Blended Bay since we are on the Chesapeake Bay.
I look forward to your blog everyday. You give all of us a little break of pure joy and creativity. Thank you. I love the Sandals and Seashell wreath. I live near the coast and it would add a touch of fun to our door. Thank you and Lynch Creek Farms.
What a beautiful table. I love cardinals, especially at Christmas time. All the wreaths are gorgeous but I think I’d choose the Mixed Holly wreath. Merry Christmas!
I’d pick the ‘Blended Bay’ — I’ll bet it smells aMAZing.
Mary, your porch looks so very inviting! I love the gorgeous reds, the plaid, and the birds. You have such a talent for creating beauty in your home. Happy Holidays! It’s a joy to be on this blog tour with you today. xoxo Lidy

Beautiful porch. I love all the plaid and the birdhouse. Very inspiring. I need to dig out my Christmas deco books and stack them someplace, too. I like Plaid Bow Traditional at Lynch Creek Farms. Thanks for having this, I love Christmas blog hops.
Oh Mary, your porch is just wonderful, I would love to sit there. All your pictures are always so beautiful. I have no clue how I am supposed to pick one of anything, all those wreaths and centerpieces are just breath taking. I did finally settle on the wreath Glacier Bay, the blue is just fabulous.
Nonie
I love the story of Lynch Creek Farms. Their website is amazing! Hard to pick just one but I love all of yours and that would be Wildlife. The sparkling birds nests are adorable and I will try to make one for myself. Love everything you do, you are so creative!
I just love the Majestic Magnolia Wreath. My mom would love it!
I would love the wreath “Tis the Season”. All of their wreaths, and centerpieces are so beautiful, that it is hard to choose just one!! Thank you for turning me onto this site. I will be shopping here. Have a wonderful Holiday!
Your cardinal collection is so sweet, Mary! Enjoy your week!
Mary…….all of the wreaths are gorgeous, but I would pick Everlasting Hope. I help to serve once a month at our local shelter called Pinellas Hope in St. Petersburg, Florida. Our church helps other area churches serve dinner to approximately 200 homeless people each day that live there in tents and small container rooms. It is a wonderful organization that is assisting them in finding jobs and regaining their lives. I would donate the wreath to them to help brighten their holiday season with HOPE for their future.
Faye
I love the Birch ‘n’ burlap centerpiece.
They all look so fresh & unuque. Love them all!
Love your porch Mary! Wish we could sit on our porch 10 months of the year in Vermont! All of the offerings at Lynch Creek Farms are wonderful, I want them all, but I will narrow my favorite to the Country Sleigh.
Love the “Owl Be Home” wreath. You might say I have thing for owls,as I’m decorating with nature this year.
Wreaths are beautiful and fresh,and being a florist that says alot, Merry Christmas!

Betty
I love your beautiful bird-themed porch! You’ve thought of everything to make it cosy and wintry and wonderful.

The snowbound winter wreath is adorable!
It’s so hard to pick just one! I live in the PNW (although much further inland than their location) and have never heard of Lynch Creek farms…what beautiful wreaths at reasonable prices! It’s a toss up for me…either the Western Lantern Wreath or the Tis the Season wreath! Thank you for such a generous give away!
Beautiful! I think I would also choose the Wildlife Adventure wreath! You gave me an idea!! Thank you!
Mary; Thank-You so much for the chance to win one of the Stunning Centerpieces. I Love the Nesting one with the Cardinals. If I win this centerpiece, I am going to give it to my Mama, as I know that she will Love it!
Merry Christmas, Mary! You used some holiday magic to create a brilliant and cheerful cardinals’ nest on your porch! I love the Bronze Brilliance centerpiece. Thanks!
I love the Southern Charm Centerpiece
Red is my favorite color, so I absolutely adore the red elements you have included in your Christmas Nesting Porch. All of the cardinals are great fun!
Oh Mary, their wreaths and centerpieces are to die for. They’re all so beautiful, it’s hard to choose just one. I love sleighs, so I choose “Country Sleigh” centerpiece. Thanks for having this contest. Hope I win.
The Tartan Centerpiece – I just ordered felted tartan ribbon to use on homeade wreaths, so tartan for sure.
As usual everything is so elegant. I would like to win the Wildlife Centerpiece.
Marilyn
Lovely display. I would like the Wildlife Centerpiece.
Joan
Mary, I can always depend on your beautiful settings. I wuld like the Wildlife Centerpiece.
Marion
Mary, there’s not a thing I need, but I just want to say how inspiring your posts always are. I love Christmas, and your porch is wonderful to look at and even more to sit and enjoy, I’m sure. Enjoy these balmy days on your porch! I know I would!
Mary, another beautiful post, thank you! ‘Tis the Season is my favorite, it was a hard choice, they are all lovely!
Mary, just love today’s posts, the cardinals, red berries and tartan ribbons and blankets just scream winter and Christmas. Thanks for connecting us to Lynch Creek Farms, their wreaths, garland and centerpieces are exquisite. Just love the Majestic Magnolia Wreath but since I was so fortunate to win the “In Style Parties” book wish not to be included in this give away. Thank you for giving your readers this opportunity.
They are all beautiful! My favorite one is Contry Christmas!
Country Christmas! LOL!
I like your use of tradition colors and the lovely fullness of everything
how do you sign up for the drawing?
For a chance to win a wreath or a centerpiece, simply visit Lynch Creek Farm and come back and leave a comment telling me which wreath or centerpiece you would choose.
Hi Mary, if I were able to receive a wreath from Lynch Creek Farms I would pick the Blended Bouquet. I like the hint of blue from the Blue Spruce(?) branches. Every couple of years or so I switch the colors I use for Christmas decorating and this year I’m going with green, from the tree, along with silver and the think the Lynch Creek Farm wreath would coordinate well with my other decorations. Thank you for providing this give away.
I would love to win the Tis the Season wreath!
I love your centerpiece with your Lenox dishes. The cardinals are perfect. My favorite centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm is Frosty Christmas. I hope I win it!
Just LOVE “Platinum Blue with Lights” centerpiece! I’m changing our Christmas theme to this blue & silver this year & it would look great on our dining room table!
I would pick the Wildlife Centerpiece – I love the tartan ribbon that is used!
Thank you for the chance to win and for your wonderful inspiration!
Oh my your porch is gorgeous and I love the cozy feel to this space. Gorgeou wreath and centerpiece. I love the Blended Bay wreath. Thank you for sharing. vanessa@DIY180.com
Love your porch! My favorite centerpiece is Hunter’s Hollow. Thanks for the chance! ;)
Country Christmas is a neat wreath. So many choices on the website. Thanks for sharing.
They are all lovely but I love the Holly Hills basket centerpiece. Thank you for sharing with us.
Love the Vintage Glow centerpiece. The lantern is so cute.
How beautiful your plates are with all the lush greenery!! I love the Snowberry Glow centerpiece! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
I enjoyed seeing your cozy porch all decked out for Christmas. Then on to Lynch Creek Farms and so many beautiful wreaths and arrangements. I liked so many of them, but I would choose the centerpiece, Evergreen Orb. Its bronze orb base makes it unique and red burlap ribbon and live evergreens add a natural touch. Beautiful!
I like the plaid bow traditional wreath. Thanks for sharing.
I seem to be having trouble finding how to visit the 5 other blogs. Help, please.
I visited your blog tonight thinking you would have ideas from “your porch” and you certainly did! Being a “Carolina girl” we enjoy our porches and we use ours nearly year round! After visiting Lynch Creek Farm’s website, I would love to be able to add their beautiful “Holly Ever After” wreath, which has the red birds, (our state’s bird) to our screen door! I am partial to the cardinal and also have the Lenox “Winter Greeting” dinnerware that hasn’t made it to our dining room table yet…as I always prolong removing Thanksgiving decor because I just love all the fall colors! Never can get over your abundance of creativity…so glad you share it with us all!!
Hello Mary! After all the emails from Black Friday and Cyber Monday, coming upon your’s was like a breath of Fresh Air!! Love the porch! Just decorated mine this past weekend. Still some fine tuning to be done. But what a lovely site you gave to us. Lynch Creek Farms! Wow! I just spent a good half hour looking and wishing. Oh the “Holy Ever After” wreath was a soft spot for me. Will be celebrating 50 yrs this Dec. 30th. The wreath is simple and says it all! But I also loved the Home Sweet Home Centerpiece and the Cape Cod. What pretty things. Would make great gifts!! Thanks to you and Lynch Creek Farms for sharing!!! And for taking me away for a good hour!!!
Mary, do you mind if I ask where you purchased your cute cardinal pillow?
Lovely porch decor. That Holiday Adventure is calling my name, I hope, I hope.
Love everything you’ve displayed! So many beautiful wreaths and arrangements, but “Christmas by the Bay” called my name.
Mary, Thank you for introducing me to Lynch Farms. I like so many of their beautiful wreaths and centerpieces. If I had to choose just one, I think it would be Hunter’s Hollow centerpiece. As I have been shopping, I can’t help but look at certain things and think, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mary uses this in one of her tables. So, I look forward to seeing your holiday tables to see if I was right. I thank you. MM
I would feel so fortunate to have anyone of these fabulous wreaths or centerpieces. You can tell how thoughtfully they are put together by the details and artful arrangement. If I had to choose one it would be the wreath or centerpiece with the cardinals (or Redbirds, as my mother called them)in them, for cardinals remind me of my mother and we’re her favorite bird. I can’t wait to see how the other sites use LynchCreek wreaths and centerpieces. Such a treat for all of us. Thank you so much for bringing us joy and beauty into our lives.
Love all the birds! I would love to see the Hunter’s Hollow enter piece, with its cute little bird, on my Christmas dining table!

Your porch is simply gorgeous and so inviting. My favorite wreath is two turtle doves-it’s adorable.
Good morning Mary! Just returned home from our annual Thanksgiving travel and catching up on my blog reading. Your mulled wine recipe made me want to be back in Europe at the Christmas Markets sipping a delicious, hot cup of mulled wine!!! So I will have to try your crockpot recipe and fill my Christmas market mug souvenir cups with it. I collect mugs from all the European Christmas Markets that we go to each year! So I was delighted to see this recipe! The Christmas nesting that you did is so lovely. I love the cardinal theme!!! I would chose the Wildlife Adventure wreath, as I too, am decorating with cardinals on one of my mantles this year! Thanks for the recipes and decorating inspiration and the giveaway chance!!! Good to be home, can’t wait to get a cup of mulled wine and read on!!! Happy Nesting!!! ☕️
So many gorgeous wreaths and centerpieces – awfully hard to choose just one! But I think the Wildlife Adventure centerpiece. Stunning!
Beautiful as always. Love the cardinal theme, especially since it is our state bird. Would love to win. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Wildlife Centerpiece.
Such beautiful and festive photos, thank you Mary! The Red Deluxe wreath is my pick, although all the wreaths are beautiful. Thank you for a chance to win!
Looks amazing…red is my weakness…all year round! I love the Two Turtle Doves wreath. Super charming! Thanks for the chance. Kim@exquisitelyunremarkable.com
Vintage Glow centerpiece for sure! So pretty Thanks for the chance to win.
I loved Tis the Season wreath.
They are all so pretty but I would choose the Wildlife Adventure wreath for my front door. Thanks!
I love the Majestic Magnolia wreath. As always, your decor is beautiful!
Your pages are so inspirational. I love all of the beautiful wreaths, and I was delighted to see they ship to Canada!
We have an old farmhouse so the Country Christmas would be perfect for our snowy north. Thank you.
I look forward to sitting with a cuppa and reading your friends blogs and pages too!
This is gorgeous Mary and how nice that you get to enjoy your porch for such a long time. I am all in for buffalo checks and plaid so this pretty porch makes my day.
I would choose the Majestic Magnolia wreath. All so beautiful!
Mary! What a beautiful resource you’ve introduced us to!
Your porch is charming. In WI sadly, we’d be freezing and use that blanket all the time!
I love the rustic Hunters’ Hollow would be amazed to win. Thank you for the contest!
Happy Holidays, Val
Hi Mary, your posts are always such beautiful eye candy!! Of all the lynch creek farms centerpieces, I love the sweet charm of hunter’s hollow the best!
I really enjoy your blog. Your tablescapes are so lush and your color choices are perfect. Love the Cascade centerpiece. Pick me. Pick me. Ha.
Love your porch, wreaths and tablescape. Gorgeous pictures but my favorite is the Home Sweet Home🏡!
It’s hard to choose from all the lovely centerpieces, but I really like the Hunter’s Hollow. Anything with birds really speaks to me esp. at Christmastime.Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Simply beautiful Mary…I have to admit the wreath and centerpiece I would choose would be the wildlife ones you chose. There is something about red cardinals that draw me in. I have a pair that visit my Secret Garden daily and I feel them cocking their little heads as if waiting for me to appear. They fluff in the bird bath and make me smile. Your porch is so inviting and the addition of the bright red cardinals is just perfect. Merry Christmas
It has to be the Wildlife Adventure! Beautiful
Difficult choosing a favorite wreath but I did prefer “tis the season” wreath. They are all very pretty – I wouldn’t refuse any of them!
Absolutely lovely wreaths. I favorite is the Wildlife centerpiece as I also decorate with cardinals and have the Lennox Wintergreetings!
Love the Woodland Lodge Wreath
Love all that red on your porch Mary. It’s gorgeous with the greens from Lynch Creek. why did I think you lived up north where it is cold? are you in NC?
Hi Laura, Yes, we’re on Lake Norman outside of Charlotte.
I love them all, but would have to choose the adorable Wildlife centerpiece!
Beautiful and cozy. Thank You for sharing. I love the wildlife adventure wreath. Lynn cminpinlover@aol.com
Such a hard choice! I especially love the Majestic Magnolia. Thank you for the fabulous giveaway!
Erin
So many beautiful arrangements. The Winter Sleigh is my favorite–it will make its way into January. I decorate more with winter decor than Christmas. Thanks for sharing all your tips!!
I would chose the Red Deluxe Wreath! They are all beautiful! Thank you Mary &
Lynch Creek Farms for the opportunity!
Loving all the cozy plaids. As someone who was into country in the 90s, after my child left for college we moved and went with a more glittery, sophisticated look at Christmas. Not me, so turned to nostalgia and retro from my own childhood. Find myself adding back in those warm plaids and birds and the smell of gingerbread. Finally a style that shouts “me! ” Nostalgic, warm and cozy. Welcoming to all.
I choose the Tis the Season wreath. I want to write “we believe” on chalkboard.
I would choose the Sandals and Seashells wreath
I particular fell in love with the Western Lantern Wreath…love the little red lantern on the wreath!
Your decorating is always exceptional! Love your porch – I took a couple ideas away from your post. ;) I really like the Hunters’ Hollow centerpiece. And I am looking forward to the home tours!
I love the Winter Radiance wreath it’s beautiful. I am getting my new puppy on December 7th so I have a feeling all of my decorations will be up high this year.
I love the Radiant Sleigh. It is so beautiful and so Christmasy.
I love the plaid bow traditional wreath.
LOVE your cardinal themed porch! It’s all so cheery and cozy. Everything on Lynch Creek Farm’s site is beautiful, but the Birch and Burlap centerpiece would look lovely in my kitchen! Hope your holidays are happy ones.
This was a tough one because they are all beautiful. I love holiday decor that is natural. I have to go with Birch Burlap. I love Birch trees and that particular centerpiece is about as natural as it gets. Merry Christmas everyone.
What a great company and a great way to support small & sustainable businesses! I am a traditionalist–love the red deluxe and the cinnamon candy apple! Thanks, Mary!
Love your porch and the Wildlife Adventure wreath is my favorite!!
love them all….thinking about sending one to a Dear Friend that lost her husband.
I would choose the Wildlife Centerpiece. They are all lovely.
The Bah Humbug has my heart. I like the simplicity and the striped bow.
All of the wreaths are beautiful… but the Country Christmas is one of my favorites!
Your Wildlife Adventure is great. I’d really like the Western Lantern IF it had the plaid bow! Picky? Who, me?! The country Christmas is gorgeous too.
My favorite was the Nesting Centerpiece, but they were all so nice. I really enjoy your blog.
Mary, each and every wreath is beautiful but my favorite is the Wildlife wreath. I love the birdhouse and cardinal.
I would choose the Blended Bay wreath. The tabletop trees and the garlands are beautiful. Unfortunately I already purchased garland but will definitely check out their selection next Christmas.
Love, love The Country Christmas Wreath!!! 🎄
I have to say, I love the simplicity of the Bare Traditional wreath. So pretty :)
I love the T’s The Season Wreath. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would choose the Burgundy Elegance wreath. ptarver77@gmail.com
I love the Home for the Holidays centerpiece! Just gorgeous! I love your blog, I look forward to it every day!
Love the coziness of your porch – it is soooo inviting!. And love seeing what you do with your shed every day. I would be happy with any of the wreaths or centerpieces – they are all so lovely. The magnolia and holly wreaths bring back childhood memories!
“Tis the Season” wreath….looks so inviting…..I love your blog so much….so beautiful and yummy recipes. Thank you for making every season brighter.
I actually visited Lynch Creek and ordered a wreath but I would love a garland! Your photos are just delightful!
The Mixed Holly wreath
I love the mixed holly wreath, but I love the others, too. This post just makes me smile. I have the Winter Greetings dishes and use them from late November into March. There is something so wonderful about greens filling a home in winter. Almost as wonderful as the birds at my feeder. In Maine, the birds, “my” squirrels, and the greens help make the long winters bearable. Blessings.
Oh my goodness! What beautiful wreaths and centerpieces! Hard to choose just one but I think the Burgandy Deluxe is my favorite. Thank you for sharing their website.
I so enjoy visiting your site! Every season is filled with beautiful goodies. I do love Christmas season the best though. All of the wreaths at Lynch Creek are beautiful in their own ways. I do favor the Country Christmas wreath the best. It reminds me of a vintage Christmas.
I love all the wreaths and centerpieces, but I would choose the wildlife centerpiece.
Thank you for the giveaway. Merry Christmas to you!
I’d enjoy the Mountain Vineyard Centerpiece–beautiful!
All the wreaths were beautiful but I would pick Tis the Season. Lovely. Have a wonderful Christmas Mary and give the doggies a hug for me.
What a feast for the eyes!! Your photos are stunning! If I should win, I would choose the Snowberry Glow centerpiece. Every thing was so lovely, it was hard to choose! marilynyoder@yhoo.com

Your porch is wonderful, so festive and inviting; just love how you have put everything together. I love especially love the wildlife center piece from Lynch Creek Farms it adds a nice touch.
Mary, you, your style & your photos never disappoint. I always feel better after enjoying time spent purusing your blog. I love your choice of the Wildlife Adventure Wreath. I think I would chose the Magnolia Bronze wreath. Thank you for the chance to win. Merry Christmas!
I love all these things! I would like to have the Tartan Centerpiece. I enjoy using plaid ribbons for Christmas.
Christmas seaded garland.
Very lovely and inspiring creations. For me, it is Limelight centerpiece that lights me up.
Love your tartan plaid! Your porch is gorgeous so beautifully decorated for Christmas!
You always have some great inspiration for me for decorating my house and potting shed. Your choice of wreath and centerpiece added so much to your tablescape. I am always impressed with your creativity. I had to order a wreath from Lynch Creek Farm as their work was fantastic and I could not pass it up. I would also love to add the
‘Hunter’s Hallow’ arrangement to my hall since there are other bird pictures.
Love your blog, we also live on the water and I look at your decorating all the time it’s beautiful. I love the Hunters Hollow centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all!!
Exquisite..each and every table top and wreath…
I’m gifting if I’m lucky to win..and I’d be hard pressed to pick a favorite if it was my choice.
Lol.
I do like lime light, the birch wrapped vessel centerpiece with sweet bird..the out of stock silver white wreath..and the charming bronze lantern wreath…reminds me of grandmas on the farm as a sweet token of my childhood..
Thank you. Someone is going to be very happy soon.
I went over to Lynch Creek Farm and window shopped with the proper ohhhing and awwing, but then I spied the one I would love to have… “Owl Be Home” called out to me! I am an owl lover and that is such a charming wreath, who wouldn’t fall madly in love with it? They really have some beautiful products. Thanks to you and to them for offering your fans such a gorgeous seasonal delight.
I thought the Evergreen Orb was so pretty.
Hi Mary!
I always enjoy and look forward to reading your blog! You continue to amaze me with all your creativity! My favorite wreath from Lynch Creek Farms is Bronze Magnolia.
Thank you! 😊
I had originally thought I’d choose the Bronze Magnolia or the Woodland Lodge but after seeing yours, I’d love the Wildlife Adventure, too!
I really like Home for the Holidays!!
I love the Vintage Glow centerpiece with the little red lantern!
I would love the Bronze Brilliance centerpieces.
They are all beautiful, but I like the Birch n’ Burlap Centerpiece the most, I think!
I like about 12 of the wreaths and centerpieces as well as all the garlands! 😁 If I had to choose, I guess it would be the Tis the Season wreath.
