Feather your nest with a fragrant and fresh evergreen centerpiece for the holidays. You’ll find Christmas table inspiration with Cardinals, tartan plaid and cozy nesting details by the twinkling lights of the tree.
Merry December!
I’m celebrating December’s arrival with a giveaway to help you ‘spruce up’ your home
and feather your nest for the holidays!
You can find the giveaway details along with a giveaway from my friend
Pam at Everyday Living at the bottom of this post.
We are excited to be collaborating with Lynch Creek Farm again this year for the holiday season!
Lynch Creek Farm is a small family owned company, dedicated to producing sustainable evergreen products,
procured from the forests in their backyard of the great Pacific Northwest.
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,
prolonging the lifespan of the woodlands, ensuring they will continue to grow
and thrive for decades to come.
I received the Cardinal Blizzard Centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm
which has a glitter-globe lantern that brings the brings the joy of winter birding
to your home or table.
The water-filled lantern functions as a illuminated snow globe with an optional timer,
to light up and surround the cardinals with a wintery snow flurry.
It’s surrounded by a bed of fresh noble fir, cedar, pine, pinecones, and red berries,
embellished with red bows and shiny ball ornaments.
Treat your Lynch Creek Farm centerpiece as you would a potted plant:
After receiving your centerpiece, add 1/2 cup of water to the center of the oasis foam.
Mist with water and add another 1/2 cup water every 2-3 days to bring out the fragrance.
Place your centerpiece in a cool location, out of direct sunlight.
With proper care, your centerpiece should last at least 3 weeks.
I’ve had centerpieces from Lynch Creek Farm that remained fresh through the end of January!
I placed my centerpiece in a bowl on a tree slice charger and a runner
with appliqued snowflakes.
No blizzards for us, as snow is rare in the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina,
but I always keep my fingers crossed for flurries and the occasional dusting! ❄️
I set a table by the tree to enjoy the twinkle of the lights
for some cozy December nesting!
A tartan throw provides a foundation for the table as a tablecloth,
adding a warm and cozy plaid layer. . .
Plaid rimmed salad plates with Cardinals flew in to land at the table. . .
They’re layered on Mikasa Winter Cardinal dinner plates.
Cardinal ornaments flocked to perch on napkins. . .
And a faux greenery wreath napkin ring
paired with a rustic wooden one.
Twig flatware and tree slice chargers add a woodland note to the table. . .
A natural runner of evergreens . . .cypress, boxwood and magnolia leaves
are sprinkled down the center of the table. . .
To pair with pinecones, more Cardinals and red shiny ornaments,
with red mercury glass votives adding add a warm glow.
Unfortunately the Cardinal Blizzard Centerpiece is sold out after Cyber Monday, but
Lynch Creek Farm is generously offering to give away one of my readers
a centerpiece of their choice.

What a beautiful table, Mary! I would choose the Mountain adventures. 2nd. Choice, Hunter’s holiday. I pinned your tablescape.
Hi Mary,
I visited Lynch Creek Farms website & loved Cardinal Blizzard the best! I followed them on instagram. I loved the first photo of center piece with blurred background so I had to pin it!
Thank you for such beautiful pictures!
Pat K
Really love the cardinals. I would chose the “Let it Glow” centerpiece. I really like the red lantern. Thank you for sharing your Christmas ideas.
Wow! How lovely your table setting is, so festive! What beautiful centerpieces and wreaths Lynch farms offer. I couldn’t decide between Hootin Holidays or Quiet Frost as I’ve decorated with a woodland theme this year. I did follow Lynch Farms on Facebook and pinned your table setting showing your fun table runner and the centerpiece. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration you share.
My mom just received a Lynch Farm centerpiece
Beautiful
Beautiful table
They were all beautiful! But if I had to choose, I would choose the Jingle Bell Country. Thank you for this opportunity. Love your blog!<
Beautiful table Mary as always! I would choose the tartan tabletop tree this year because we aren’t putting up a big tree. My husband is having a knee replacement surgery this week and won’t be up on a ladder until well past January!!
Ohmygosh, gorgeous! Lynch Creek has upped their game another notch with those darling centerpiece additions of the lanterns. I have followed Lynch Creek on FB since 2020 when, during one of your giveaways, I was Shirley’s lucky recipient (so I’m excluding myself from this one). These greens arrive every bit as fresh as you say, and have real staying power. Good luck to your readers!
Now, for the table….I hope you don’t get tired of reading my repetitive comments of how fine you make your tables with all your gorgeous details, Mary. The woodland themes with birds (this time cardinals), and the long centerpiece of greens, candles and ornaments is so pretty. You are a bad influence for a girl who’s trying to refrain from having cupboards burst at its doors with an overflow of more beauties added, but this combination is a real winner in my mind! Well done, very well done!
Absolutely love your cardinal inspired tablescape! I would choose Lynch Creek Farm’s beautiful “Winter’s Peace” centerpiece for my table and am indeed following them on Instagram. I have also pinned your cardinal w/ woodsy napkin ring photo to my Christmas Pinterest board.
Mary, the cardinal and woodland theme is so beautiful! The Mikasa dinner plates and the cardinal salad plates pair perfectly together for your theme. I have never met a tartan plaid that I don’t love and the throw is a fabulous foundation. Your tree in the background looks so festive. The cardinal ornaments perched upon the napkins complement the greenery wreath and rustic wood napkin rings. This post is a gorgeous welcome to December!
Thank you, Mary for all the eye candy this morning!
I already follow Lynch Creek and have ordered wreaths and centerpieces from them for 2 years now. I love the one with the cardinals but have gifted the one with the tree in the lantern
I pinned several of the tablescape pics. It is absolutely gorgeous! Cardinals are a favorite of mine. My mother always commented when she saw a cardinal. Clara❤️
Good morning Mary, what a generous giveaway. I love Lynch Creek Farms and have ordered from them in the past. Their arrangements are beautiful and do last a long time! With that in mind, I’ve chosen “All That Glitters” so it will last into January when I host my Bunco group. I follow Lynch Creek Farms on Facebook and Instagram. Thank you!
Mary, I pinned the last tablescape photo.
I would love to win the Christmas Morning centerpiece featured on Lynch Creek Farms website.
I would choose The Burst of Joy centerpiece. I followed Lynch Creek Farms on Instagram and pinned the Cardinal Blizzard centerpiece.
Merry Christmas
I pinned the overhead photo of your lovely tablescape.
Lynch Creek farms and I liked the Mount Hood Express for my Brother who has Christmas at his house I added them to my Facebook page and I pinned your Beautiful plaid Tablescape
I would choose the Light the way arrangement. So many beautiful things, hard to choose one.
I Loved that Cardinal one, being a bird my mother loved. I have been a big fan of Lynch Creek Farms, they are the best! My choice for Centerpiece would Santa’s Little Helper, for my daughter who loves it. Not on either social media, but get emails from Lynch Creek. And did pin that beautiful photo of the Cardinal within that snowy woods! Beautiful!
Mountain Adventures is a very festive table arrangement! I have followed you on Pinterest so that I have the opportunity to find more beautiful decorating ideas. I am following you on FB as well.
I have followed Lynch Creek Farms…so hard to choose but the tartan table top tree is adorable!! I pinned the first picture of your post. The tree in the background is so lovely and the table is beautiful! I am also using cardinals around the house and on the table this year!
I really think the scent of pine & greenery invokes wonderful Christmas feelings…at least for me! It was hard to choose just one favorite from all the beautiful arrangements. I really like Grandma’s Choice a lot.
Good morning, Mary. Hard decision as they are all beautiful but I think I would choose Sugar Plum Delight mostly for the colors as that would be a nice addition in my dining room. Thank you for the opportunity to win! I pinned the overhead picture of your tablescape w/ 2 place settings.
Wow! Just so beautiful. I love the Golden Grandur so very elegant. Mary your table is spectacular and I love the little birds. I am following Lynch Farms, thank you for telling me about them. I’ve pinned your tablescape 😘
Mary, The cardinals are all gorgeous! I understand why the centerpiece you chose sold out so quickly. I love your runner and tablescape. I would choose the Let it glow from the website. Clara❤️
The lantern&cardinal is “Pinned!” Living in a small log cabin this is perfect! we have cardinals on the feeder at the moment…I always “feel” my mom is “checking in from heaven” as they were her favorite bird. Your tablescapes are heavenly!! franki
Beautiful pictures and so Christmas! I pinned the picture of the cardinal on a plate. I visited the website and loved the Grandma’s cottage centerpiece.
I followed Lynch Creek on Instagram. Thanks for the contest.
I want to share our Cardinal story with you after viewing your gorgeous display… my precious Dad passed away in May 2019 (I remain inconsolable) ~ he was an amazing pitch-perfect whistler and accompanied songs of all kinds. He once heard the Cardinal song coming from a tree in the backyard and he whistled back to it… that bird was curious to know the originator and he flew from the tree to land on the 2nd story brick windowsill, tilting his head, wondering where his new friend was… that’s forever etched in my mind as well as referring to a Cardinal as the “PoppaBird”… so bittersweet ~ Linda
I follow your posts year round … Christmas is my favorite. Your designs are always so creative & beautiful. Thank you for bringing joy to all of us . I would choose let it glow or Christmas morning . Pinned on Facebook.
I choose “mountain adventures “. I saved the side view of your table showing the table runner and all. You just can’t beat cardinals at Christmas. No wonder it sold out. Beautiful table!!
Following on Instagram
My choices would be #1- Grandma’s Cottage and #2- All That Glitters. Can “smell” those fresh greens.
Your tablescapes are always so beautiful! I visited the Lynch Creek Farms website and would choose the Pacific Bay centerpiece. This centerpiece would be perfect for my upcoming luncheon and cookie exchange. I have followed Lynch Creek Farms on Instagram and pinned your tablescape photo.
What a gorgeous tablescape! I can’t do Pinterest or Facebook as I had my identity stollen after just 3 wks. on Facebook a couple of years ago. But I am a very long time subscriber to your blog and it’s the only one I follow. Thanks for the chance at the Lynch Creek treat. It would be great this year as all my children and grandchildren will be here. I love everything on their site. Cardinal Blizzard would be first choice, but Mountain Adventures is great too! Merry Christmas!
Gorgeous, so elegant. My favorite centerpiece is Hootin’ Holiday. So charming. Thanks for delightful photos, your tablescapes are so inspiring.
Following on Instagram.
I pinned photo seven showing the runner and the centerpiece. Sweet.
Beautiful table setting! I pinned the tablescape,followedynch Creek Farms on Facebook and I would love to win the Vintage Christmas truck. 🎄
Oh, how pretty! I visited their site and like the “Warm Welcome” wreath, but everything is so beautiful. It is hard to choose! Thank you for the chance to win! I am not on Instagram or Facebook, but I pinned one of your photos. Thanks again!
Beautiful centerpiece. Since I’m a bird watcher I think the Cardinal centerpiece is a favorite of mine as well. God bless you and yours through this holiday season.
Hi Mary ~ what a beautiful and festive post ! It is so difficult to pick from all the gorgeous centerpieces but my favorite would be “Mountain Adventures”. Thanks! Higs, Dorinda Selke
Hi Mary ~ I follow Lynch Creek Farm on both Instagram and Facebook ~ Dorinda Selke
Hi Mary ~ I pinned a few of the beautiful pictures in your post to my Pinterest board “We need a little Christmas”. Thanks, Dorinda Selke
Oh Mary, so beautiful and festive. I’m “oohing-aahing” this morning. I pinned one of the tables capes to have as inspiration. And there were so many centerpieces on the Lynch Creek sight that I would love. Nostalgia Glow and Touch of Country caught my eye, but so did a dozen others. Thank you for adding beauty and joy to our lives through your posts each day.
Your Christmas tablescape is absolutely beautiful! I would choose the “Light the Way” centerpiece. I follow Lynch Creek Farm on Facebook and Instagram. I pinned the photo with the snowflake table runner on Pinterest. Thanks!
I went to Instagram and hit “follow”
Dear Mary, I rarely reply to your posts but I love everyone of them. Cardinals are my state (Virginia) bird! If I win I’d love the Tartan Tabletop tree. I pinned the Lynch Creek Farm lantern centerpiece you have on your table and I follow Lynch Creek Farm on Instagram. Thanks for your always beautiful posts.
Hi Mary
I would choose Cardinal Cottage
Thank you!
Every year I swoon over Lynch Creek’s beautiful things, I’m swooning over your centerpiece because I also decorate with cardinals at Christmas. I would love their Wildlife Adventure wreath! I follow LC on FB. Pinning your plate pics, because Santa has been asked to bring me some Mikasa cardinal plates this year….
The Mountain Adventure centerpiece is my favorite. It looks so peaceful and pretty.

Thank you for the contest! I followed Lynch Creek Farm on Facebook. I love the Mountain Adventures centerpiece with the cute red lantern. I pinned your picture with the red cardinal figurine that “just landed” on your plate. Your table is so festive and welcoming!
I love the cardinal tablescape and the centerpieces are beautiful! If I could choose one it would either be Grandma’s Cottage or Hunter’s Hollow! Thanks for letting us know about this company, I had never heard of them before.
I pinned the picture of the centerpiece in the box so I can find Lynch Creek Farm again!
I’m always so happy when you put the holloween stuff away and bring out your beautiful Christmas decorations! I look forward to it every year! You do such a great job decorating for Christmas. It fills me with joy especially the years when I’m not feeling well enough to get my decorations out. Thank you.
Wow! Love all the centerpieces and your table. I would pick Jingle Bell Country. I pinned, followed on Instagram and Facebook and am on my way to Pam’s! Merry Christmas to you and thank you for adding so much beauty to the world!
Not sure if my comment posted, so here I go again. Wow! Love all the centerpieces, especially Jingle Bell Country. I followed you and Lynch Creek everywhere and pinned several pictures. Thank you for adding so much beauty throughout the year.
As always, your table is beautiful as is the luscious greenery from Lynch Creek Farm. I love the cardinal theme but it would be unlikely to see one at Lynch Creek. Sadly, these beautiful birds don’t live in Washington State. A good reason for us west coasters to visit your side of the country!
Love the freshness of the Cardinal Centerpiece…fresh greens and by using the cardinal, the theme of the centerpiece will be appropriate thru out the holidays. Also, could possibly be enjoyed by our Jewish friends.
Hi Mary! Lovely, as usual! I like Classic Christmas, but would be thrilled with anything they send! I followed on fb and Instagram. Pinned on Pinterest. one of your table pics showing the centerpiece. Surely would like to get the snowglobe cardinal one. Too bad sold out!
I love your mix of the greens and the plaid cardinal plates Mary. It looks like you’re ready for Christmas, everything is very pretty:@) Bet it smells great with the fresh greens too!
I love the Countdown to Christmas centerpiece, it would be fun to reuse the number blocks from year to year!
Thanks for the fun give-away! Happy Holidays:@)
I followed on Facebook, pinned a photo and I would choose the ‘let it glow’ centerpiece. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Mary, as always another stunning Christmas post. I pinned an overhead view of your gorgeous table. After looking at all the beautiful choices at Lynch Creek Farms website, I would choose Mountain Adventures.
I love the tabletop trees.
I pinned and liked on Instagram (@mandaoverturf)
Love the “Let it Glow Centerpiece”. It is so cheerful!
Love your tablescapes today. I pinned the full table view on Pinterest. This week I ordered the Cyber Monday centerpiece for my Sister in Law, and then one for myself as well! This is the second year I have ordered from this company. Their designs are beautiful and the products arrive as promised.
Oh Mary, your cardinal themed table is outstanding! I love how perfectly the dinner and luncheon plates go together. I think I would choose the cardinal cottage centerpiece, but Grandma’s cottage, I loved, too. It’s so hard to choose! I had a cardinal visit my bird feeder this afternoon. ❤️
Oh Mary like always you nailed it with your table setting. I have been following you and the pooches for a while now and I enjoy everything you do. Kindred spirits. I would be privileged if you would check out my blog. I think you might enjoy it. https.//fortheloveofold.net
Oh Mary like always you nailed it with your table designs. Such great inspiration. Very much kindred spirits. The Hunter’s Hollow would be my choice although you can’t go wrong with any of them, they are all lovely. I would pick the Hunter’s Hollow although you can’t go wrong. They are all lovely. I would consider it a privilege if you would check out my blog, I think you would enjoy it.
Your Table setting is just beautiful!
My selection from Lynch Creek Farms would be Northern Lights. I am loving the touch of blue rather than the reds this season. I have been following Lynch Creek on Facebook for awhile now! I pinned your photo of the Cardinal Blizzard, my initial favorite but Northern Lights is just the ticket.
I love the Cardinal Christmas tabletop tree!! Really, everything they have is gorgeous. You can’t go wrong with any of their beautiful products! Merry Christmas! Tina
Mary, this is a spectacular post. You never cease to amaze me! You are the only blog that I still follow from way back in my blogging days. I went back to work and stopped blogging in 2014. I followed you before and have continued to follow you ever since. I play a bit on Instagram. Hope you and your family are well.
Fondly, Alma, Tge Tablescaper
Mary, your cardinal table is gorgeous. I love that you are using a plaid throw. The plates are beautiful. The centerpiece is so lovely with the cardinal water filled glove. I love these. I have different designs around the house for Christmas. I did visit their site and adore the Mountain Adventures. They are all wonderful. I am so looking forward to seeing another fantastic tablescape on Tuesday. Happy holidays.
Simply GORGEOUS! I love Cardinals.
The Lynch Creek Farm centerpiece with the snowy cardinal lantern is just beautiful Mary, and your table is gorgeous!! I adore cardinals and often spot them in the woods behind my house from the kitchen window. Your tree looks so pretty, we’ve haven’t put ours up yet and I’m feeling behind!
