Happy Monday!
We are thrilled to share some holiday table inspiration with you
in this special edition of Monday Morning Blooms!
Lidy, Shirley, Pam and I are excited to be collaborating with Crown Linen Designs
and Arte Italica, to help you celebrate the holidays in style!
They have generously provided each us with some beautiful tabletop products
and are graciously offering a wonderful giveaway to one lucky reader!
You’ll find the giveaway details along with beautiful holiday table inspiration
from Lidy, Pam and Shirley at the the bottom of this post.
I’m easing into the holiday season with a table layered with evergreens, pinecones and black and white checks.
While I love the traditional red and green of Christmas, I’m not quite ready to make the leap
and trade in my pumpkins for jingle bells before Thanksgiving arrives. :)
Using evergreens to the deck the halls or the table is one of my favorite ways to add a bit of nature
and ‘freshness’ at the holidays! Freshly-cut evergreens make the house so fragrant and are a
wonderful addition for the holidays, especially if you use an artificial tree.
We are fortunate to have cedar, juniper, Leyland cypress, pine, boxwood
and magnolia around our property, free-for-the-clipping.
If you have access to Leyland cypress, it’s an ideal evergreen to deck the halls
or table with as it doesn’t have a sticky, sappy residue like pine or fir.
Evergreens vary in their sap production as one cedar tree can differ than another.
I find pine and fir the most ‘sappy’ and lean towards other greens like juniper,
cedar and cypress, so check what you’re cutting before using it on the table.
Alternatively to protect your table or linens, layer your greenery on a runner that can be laundered or a piece of wax paper as a barrier between the greenery and your table.
I laid the greenery down the center out of the table, starting with the cypress, then mixing in other bits and pieces of other greenery to fill in, adding different textures. If your greenery boughs and branches are bulky, cut them apart and piece them together to create your runner. Cut more greenery than you think you need and keep it in a bucket of water until you’re ready to assemble.
Having all your greenery ready to go, makes for quick and easy assembly, without having to stop to gather more greenery if you run out. If you have extra greenery, tuck some sprigs in a bowl of ornaments, ‘spruce up’ the bookshelves, or tuck some in an artificial garland or wreath to add an authentic touch and natural element.
Pinecones were tucked in among the greenery, down the length of the table along
with some magnolia leaves. Mercury glass votives add a little sparkle and shimmer
in anticipation of the holiday season!
Embroidered Linen Napkins in the Pinecone Collection from Crown Linen Designs in black and taupe
provide a nod to Christmas pine boughs and the winter season to come.
Based in Kirkland, WA, Crown Linen Designs works with linen producers and embroidery artists in Eastern Europe to create exceptional linen pieces for the table, kitchen, bed and bath. Did you know that as linen is made from flax fibers, it’s 100% renewable, biodegradable and requires no irrigation in the growing process? Me neither! Linen is also durable and can last generations, becoming softer and shinier with each washing, potentially becoming heirlooms.
Black and white check round linen placemats from Crown Linen Designs wreath place settings,
layered over a white matelassé coverlet on the table..
And black and white checks in the form of dinner plates are topped with a
salad plate with a deer and a pine cone and checked border.
Reindeer made their way onto the table in the form of silver napkin rings.
Does anyone else find it hard to believe that Santa and his sleigh arrive in 39 days?
Inspired by vintage lace, a Merletto White Scalloped Pitcher by Arte Italica provides a centerpiece for the table.
The pitcher is filled with white spray roses, alstroemeria and pine branches.
Arte Italica is one of the leading importers of luxury European tableware and décor.
Each piece is handcrafted using the same techniques passed down through generations of skilled artisans.

Thank you for your visit, sharing with:
Mary, you have so inspired me to create a black and white table for one of my Christmas tables. It is stunning!! I am envious of you being able to “pick and clip” from your gardens. Can’t you just hug that pitcher? The curation of your table is always perfection. Happy to join you, my Blooms friend on this special Blooms post today. I must say that the Merletto White Scalloped Pitcher and the beautiful
selection of embroidered napkins are my fav; however, must say that every thing in their lines are! Have a fabulous day Mary!
Your table is so beautiful in the black and white, I have a black and white kitchen and any of the linen would be wonderful to have
I am following Arte Italica on Facebook. Their dinnerware and holiday dinnerware products are classic.
My favorite Arte Italica piece is the Natale Square Signed Platter. It can be used for serving or for display on a plate rack. Perfect for the holidays!
Mary, I have been following your Pinterest page for some time. You always have inspiring ideas. During this time of the pandemic, you have inspired me to make each day as special as possible by taking the time to notice the beauty around us and to make even the most ordinary day better by trying a new recipe, using candlelight, decorating with fresh flowers and greenery, or setting an inviting table. Thank you~

Beautiful table!! My favorite piece is the White Pitcher…very hard to decide…

Epitome of elegance
I love your ideas and reading your post is such a nice way to start my day. I follow you on Pinterest. I am not doing Facebook right now but am going to figure out Instagram. I loved the bee napkins on Crown linens.
What a wonderful transitional color scheme – black & white with fresh greenery! As always, your table settings are exquisite and this one doesn’t disappoint! I thought my favorite Crown Linen napkins were the Victorian style, but after seeing their Pinecone design on black linen featured in your table-scape, I think it is a toss-up! Arte Italica’s Vetro goblets continue to catch my eye with their sophistication!
I have followed both Crown Linens & Arte Italica on Instagram + visited their website.
I have also followed ‘Home is Where the Boat is’ on both Pinterest & Instagram.
Mary your table is beautiful! Your matelasse tablecloth was perfect to showcase the gorgeous Crown Linen placemats and napkins. I noticed the lovely white pitcher with the pretty combination of flowers and greenery right away. My thought was Mary has a new pitcher that I love. It was a lovely surprise to read later that it was an Arte Italica design. No wonder it was so beautiful.
You did a great job on this tablescape. I love your greenery runner and all your plate stack. The black and white china and linens are stunning. Your photography is beautiful. I pinned as usual.

Beautiful
My favorite is the gorgeous Arte Italica white pitcher!
I followed both on Instagram! My favorite Crown Linen designs have to be the cream velvet placemats!
Mary, I follow your blog and it has been so helpful. I design a lot of the floral designs for our church and your floral information has helped our committee and me very much. Thank you for your inspiration..for all ideas!
Mary, where did the black deer salad plates come from? I’m so inspired by all of this.
Hi Paula, they came from Hobby Lobby. 🦌
Morning, those black napkins are amazing with the black and white check. Stunning! I started following Crown Linen Design on Instagram and i already follow you on Pinterest. That white pitcher is beautiful too with that unusually shaped handle. I also love their embroidered blue napkins on white when I looked at their pretty goods on Instagram.
As always, your table is so welcoming! I too have been sporting the black & white buffalo check theme this year and used it for Halloween and now for Thanksgiving. Of course, nothing as majestic as yours! Question re your greenery: You wrote you keep the greenery in water until you put them out on the table. But typically how far in advance can I set my table with the greenery before these start looking dry/sad? I ask as I like to set the table early (even a few days before a holiday) so I can focus on cooking and last minute cleaning. Thanks, Mary!
Mary, of course I’ve followed you by email and on Pinterest for years. Your style is impeccable, and Crown Linen could easily take your table and use it as their copy for advertising. This is stunning. It does pain me slightly to not be able to clip from the garden as I once did, but I do have some outlets. ;)
I love Crown LInen and follow them on Facebook. I’ve gotten a few of their linens through Lidy and directly (napkins, placemats), and they are among my most favorite choices. This year I have a couple new decor pillows I’m using too.
Arte Italica is also gorgeous, and I just started following them on Facebook. I love serving pieces, and handles on trays are super attractive and utilitarian. Some of their pewter is drop dead gorgeous.
The pieces being offered in this giveaway are perfect for the holidays. What a generous collaboration. Please throw my name in the hat, but no matter who wins, they are certain to enjoy
Mary, I always look forward to your beautiful tablescape. They give me so many ideas. I followed both on Instagram and You on Pinterest. Love the Victorian linen table runner. So lovely. Thanks for such a good start to the week.
Hi Mary, yes I too live on the water in Virginia so I have been following you for years on Pinterest as well as e-mail. I am also following Crown Linen Designs on Instagram as well as Arte Italica. My favorite pieces are the round linen placements and I love the Merletto White Scalloped Pitcher. The table is amazing. Thank you for your wonderful post.
What a gorgeous table! I love the black and white napkins and the Arte Italica white pitcher is beautiful. You always craft the most wonderful tables.
Mary, this is truly exciting!!! Crown Linen Designs and Arte Italica are two of my very favorite tabletop sources!!! Crown Linens grace our table daily, and you can probably guess that the black and white linens are part of my beautiful collection. Love the idea of a black and white Christmas table. Hope to share one of my own soon. Your table is swoon worthy for me!!!! Have added to my Pinterest board. Thanks for the Monday morning delights!!!! Happy Holidays!!!!
Oh my goodness Mary! I’ve avoided the whole buffalo check trend but your ‘scape is about to make me rush out & duplicate your beautiful setting! I would love to win a prize as I’m linen-crazy and a dish-aholic. Oh to have a piece of arte italica—no way to pick a fav but boy do I love the Finezza pattern (lace—swoon!). Crown linens are show stoppers—love ANYTHING w/ a monogram (southern Va gal). I just happen to have room for another set of six napkins in my extensive napkin inventory! Thanks for brightening our days in the time of Covid and less-than-normal upcoming holiday season. (I follow all 3 of you on the Gram & FB & you on FB & Pinterest)
Love the black and white, just read hobby lobby, goggled them, didn’t know they were in ca even, the deer are dear! Love a subtle Christmas.
I’m following Crown LinenDesign, Arte Italica and Home is where the boat is on Facebook. My favorite piece is the pinecone embroidered napkins. The table settings are beautiful.
Mary, your table is beautiful!! So much inspiration, thank you. I love the greenery against the black. I follow you on Instagram and am now following Arte Italica & Crown Linen designs. The dinner napkins are absolutely beautiful. The new Natale collection for Christmas is so elegant. Thank you for the giveaway and the beautiful photos.
Just started following you. How did I not know about you before? I LOVE black and white decor and especially table design. The Napoleon bee black napkins are calling my name! I’m a collector of Arte Italica. My favorite piece is still my big handled bowl, but would love to start adding the Christmas pieces to my collection
You had me at black and white Mary! It is stunning with the fresh greens and the beautiful napkins! I love black and white anytime, but I think it is especially beautiful paired with holiday things, and those place mats are fabulous! Love the deer plates too, and your simple but stunning pitcher of white roses and greens nestled amid your gorgeous fresh holiday runner. What a generous giveaway, and how fun to be participating with Arte Italica & Crown Linen Designs!

Thanks for the tips on using fresh greenery and how to protect your linens. You’re always so helpful! I may break down and decorate the screened in porch table for Christmas. I’m like you and am not quite ready to ditch the Thanksgiving tables inside. However, I have decided to go ahead and put up a tree! First time ever! But hey, it’s 2020, why not mix it up a little. Enjoy your week! Clara❤️

Mary, your tablescape is stunning!!! I love the block, white and gold and your white pitcher with the gorgeous flower arrangement just made me swoon. Both Arte Italica and Crown Linens are new to me. So thank you for introducing them to me. I “Pinned” several pictures and now can’t wait to go to Arte Italica and Crown Linen sites to see more.
Hello Mary, I’m sitting here newly retired from education. Now I have so much “me” time after 43 years in education and now focus on what I love best: Home decor! I’ve now followed you on Instagram and Pinterest. I have discovered that my favorite Crown Linen Designs piece is easily hands-down the white with gold “embroidered” Victorian napkins. And Arte Italica’s Vetro Gold crystal/glass tableware. These align perfectly with my own taupe-neutral desert-toned colors in my living and dining rooms. Ive now followed both of these on Instagram. I’ve just moved back into my home again after being out of my home for eight months and having repairs due to a slab leak. I can’t wait to get back into decorating again! Three days before going into our state quarantine lockdown I was in an accident and my car was totally demolished. I discovered your blog hops during this time. What a wonderful way to spend my time and uplift my spirits during these challenging months. Thank you so much for sharing you beautiful home decor with me!
Oh I just love the “It’s a Wonderful Life” Pillow. But all of their goods are beautiful. Thanks for introducing me to a new shop!
Love the b/w with the reindeer and other plates and chargers on your holiday table, Mary!!! So pretty and festive… Definitely will be entering the contest. Would be fun to win something and share it afterwards. <3
Happy decorating and Happy Thanksgiving if I don't get back by before then,
Barb :)
Hi Mary,
Respectfully, how can anyone look at your lovely tablescape with that AMAZING lake view in the background?! Simply breathtaking, cheers!
Love the Crown Linen “Give Thanks” table runner. I have followed you on pinterest for quite a while. Since I enjoyed the photos and beautiful tablescape photos, I have “liked” both the Crown Linen Co. and Arte Italica on Facebook. The pitcher is really pretty!! I so enjoy your photos and have for many years. A welcome escape from reality and an “eye candy” i enjoy without the calories LOL. Hope you and yours stay healthy and you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Mary, the black and white theme is so classic for any season, but it really sings at Christmas. It seems we both had the same idea about the clipped greens for the runner. Your AI pitcher is filled with a most lovely arrangement. I am crushing over the silver napkin rings and the black deer plates. Your table is stunning and every detail is perfect. It is always a pleasure to share Monday Morning Blooms with you ♥️
Followed Crown Linen and Arte Italica on Facebbok. I love the touches of black in your tablescape. I won’t bring in the glorious reds that I love until after Thanksgiving. I especially love the Crown Linen Black linen napkins- so elegant, and the Arte Italica white pitcher is perfect for holding the greenery!

Hi, beautiful table, very warm and inviting. I followed both on instagram and follow you on Pinterest. Now among my favorites are the sweet designs on those Crown Linen napkins and their chargers and their other linens. I do love that white pitcher from Arte Italica because it is so versatile.
Your greens without Christmas touches don’t rush the season which is inspiring. The Merletto White Scrolled Pitcher is my favorite and love the simple styling with roses and greens. All the Crown Linen ruffled placemats bespeak casual country French which makes my heart leap. I live on Camano Island and am very proud of Crown Linen which is in my home state of Washington.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with blessings,
Diney

What a beautiful table. I love the pitcher and the linens you chose – they would be perfect in my daughter’s home. Thank you for sharing your gift and ideas with all of us – so pretty and inviting.
Following everyone (!!!) On Instagram. I’ve followed you everywhere for years. Wouldn’t miss a post! I’m a pitcher person and love the white . linens —- all of them 😂 Beautiful post. You spoil us! Lovely give a way. Most of all, thank you for raising spirits with your lovely posts. Merry merry to you!!!
Hi Mary ~ Happy Holiday Season ! Your different Christmas Tablescapes were stunning. I entered your wonderful giveaway on Facebook and on Instagram FYI. Wishing you the best of the season and a happy and HEALTHY new year ~ Hugs, Dorinda
Thank you for the beautiful tour of your Christmas tablescapes. I am now following Crown Linen and Arte Italica on Instagram. In fact they have such beautiful things that I needed to finally open an Instagram account.
I love the linens with the red embroidery- it would be so elegant with the red and green Everyday “Christmas greetings” by Lenox. I love the round black/white checked placemats as well! I love all of the Arte Italian but am really fond of Christmas tree tray- it is both charming and elegant.
I follow Home is where the boat is on FB and Instagram. I often share your posts with my 25 friends from our Rug Hooking and wool Applique group.
Thank you again Mary- you bring so much joy and loveliness to so many
Mary,
This table scape with deer plate gas got to be my favorite, my boys are hunters so fits us perfect!
I just followed Crown Linen and Arte Italica on Instagram. Beautiful items… I love the embroidered linen napkins – the bees are the best, but I love the intricate monograms as well.
Your table always looks so beautiful and coordinated. I can’t find the black salad plates. Can you provide a link?
Thank you Sandi, Unfortunately I don’t have a link. I found the deer salad plates at Hobby Lobby two years ago.
Mary, if you ever have a sale on your dishes just let me know!!! I could seriously have a closet full of plates and linens!!
