Feather your nest and ‘spruce up’ your home with fragrant and fresh evergreens for the holidays. You’ll find Christmas table inspiration with Cardinals, red trucks delivering Christmas trees, a merry plaid, and cozy nesting details by the twinkling lights of the tree.

Happy Thursday!
Are you busy decking the halls?
I’m joining my Monday Morning Blooms friends to kick off the Christmas season
with a giveaway to help you ‘spruce up’ your home for the holidays!
You’ll find the giveaway details with additional giveaway opportunities from Pam and Lidy at the bottom of this post.

One of my favorite ways to the deck the halls or the table is to use evergreens
to add a bit of ‘freshness’ and nature for the holidays!
Freshly-cut evergreens are the smell of Christmas and makes the house so fragrant,
especially if you’re using an artificial tree.

We are excited to collaborate 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 *Mountain Adventures Centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm.

A bed of forest green noble fir, cedar, and white pine is adorned with
frosted pinecones, red berries and red ball ornaments.

It features a red lantern with a red truck carrying a Christmas tree home
in the snow with Cardinals perched in the tree branches.

The water-filled lantern functions as a illuminated snow globe with an optional timer,
to light up with a wintery snow flurry.

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 enhance 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 on my table. . .

I added some loops of Cardinal wire-edge ribbon with floral picks,
inserting them into the foam among the greenery in the centerpiece. . .

And set a table by the tree to enjoy the twinkle of the lights
for some cozy holiday nesting!

A red and green plaid throw provides a tablecloth,
adding a merry and cozy foundation . . .

Plates and red truck ornaments are delivering some holiday cheer,
as well as Christmas trees on the table . . .

I foraged for some greenery to make a natural runner of evergreens . . .
cypress, cedar and magnolia leaves . . .
sprinkled down the center of the table, along with pine cones.

And red birds, aka, Northern Cardinals, have flown in to the table,
joining red mercury glass votives, for some sparkle, adding add a warm glow.

Cardinals are alight on napkin rings, while twig flatware
adds a woodland note at the table.

Love/relish everything you display on your site (decorating, recipes, to whimsies) – Merry, Merry Christmas & Happiest of New Years!
Good morning, Mary. You chose the perfect centerpiece to highlight your beautiful tablescape. The plates, red trucks, and cardinals are charming and festive! I especially love seeing red birds during the winter months. Their brilliant red plumage stands out against the gray of winter. The table set in front of the twinkling lights of your tree is stunning.
It is always a pleasure to join you at one of your beautifully styled tables! Wishing you a Merry Thursday🎄
I would choose the Quiet Frost centerpiece. So beautiful.
I needed this! I haven’t started decorating yet! Bring a Virginia girl, Cardinals are a favorite. Love the ribbon you found. I’ve been following Lynch Creekfor some time and I’ve pinned! I’d be happy to win any of their products but my favs would be either of their cardinals, (cyber Monday or cardinal blizzard) or away in the manger which looks to be sold out, or enchanted wonderland. Thank you Mary and Lynch Creek for inspiring me.
I’m following Lynch Creek Farms on Instagram.
I would love the Radiant Centerpiece.
Mary, Cardinals are very special to our family so your beautiful table touched my heart. I can’t imagine how special it must be to sit at your table in view of your wonderful Christmas tree. For someone who hasn’t gotten out one decoration, most impressive! If I was to choose one Lynch Creek item, it would probably be Cardinal Cottage or the Cyber Monday centerpiece. Thank you for sharing all your holiday talent and Merry Christmas! MM
I pinned the photo of your beautiful cardinal centerpiece.
Mary, I love your choice and table! I always look forward to your winter tables that are nature-inspired. I would choose either the brilliant berries wreath for my garden gate or the hootin’ holiday centerpiece for a winter table. I am already following Lynch Creek on FB (of course!), and pinned the brilliant berries wreath. A big thank you to Lynch Creek for this opportunity, and to you as ambassador!
Every picture is so beautiful but I pinned the first photo. You put me in the mood to get started with my decorating. I really love the lantern the most which is so unique and I think the ribbon with cardinals really brings out the full beauty.
I love them all, but especially The Nutcracker King. Your tablescapes are always beautiful and inspiring. I pinned one of your photos to my Christmas board. Merry Christmas to all!
I would choose Grandma’s cottage centerpiece. So many beautiful things on their website to choose from. I also pinned the first picture. Thank you.
Always love Lynch Creek centerpieces! The one I would choose today is the Cardinal Christmas Tree centerpiece! I live miniature anything and those little trees are right up my alley. I pinned the picture of your lantern centerpiece in a white bowl. I already follow Lynch Creek on Facebook! Always look forward to your winter/Christmas tables! GOOD LUCK everyone for another generous giveaway!!!
I pinned one of your beautiful photos on Pinterest!
Mountain Adventures is my favorite centerpiece!
Followed Lynch Creek on Facebook
Good morning, love your tablescapes and especially those truck plates. Thank you. I would choose item HG15, this garland looks so beautiful and I’ve never had real garland and would just love so much.
Mary, what beautiful inspiration to kick off my christmas decorations. I love the hootin’ holiday centerpiece.
Beautiful table setting! I would choose either the Pacific Pepperberry wreath or the Majestic Magnolia wreath.
I am following Lynch Creek farm on Instagram and have pinned a photo.
As usual I couldn’t pin just one!! So many tabletop ideas. Perfect for this time of year.
The cardinals and the plaid tabletop set with the red china are my favorites. Many thanks!!
Good morning Mary, what a lovely and generous giveaway from Lynch Creek Fams! If I was fortunate enough to win, I’d choose the Grande classic as my centerpiece. It would go well with the quilted runner my sister-n-law just made and sent me. I am a subscriber of Lynch Creek both on Facebook and Instagram. I love your square plates and cardinals in your tablescape! I also have square Christmas plates with cardinals that we will use this year. I’ve never found square chargers so I was excited to see yours! I pinned the tablescape picture so I could see every element. Thank you Mary for the lovely inspiration. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Good Morning Mary ~ well I think I could browse through your beautiful blog post all day. These wreaths, tablesettings and accessories are all near and dear to my heart. It is so difficult to go through Lynch Creek Farms’ website and have to decide on only one wreath or table topper. But I choose “WILDLIFE ADVENTURE” as it caught my eye immediately. Thank you for having such a wonderful giveaway ! Enjoy your holidays! Hugs, Dorinda Selke
Hi Mary ~ I posted a picture of the beautiful cardinal birdhouse ornament in my Pinterest board “We need a little Christmas”. Thanks, Dorinda
Lynch Creek has so many lovely selections! I would choose the Hootin Holiday centerpiece. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love your blog, it makes me happy and a great way to start my day with a cup of coffee! I have been following Lynch Creek Farm for a long time on Facebook, just joined Instagram so I am now following. I pin your blogs allot! I pinned the lantern wreath which is spectacular. I looked at Lynch Creek web site, wow so many things sold out already! I love the Nutcracker centerpiece!
I follow Lynch Creek on Instagram.
I pinned your beautiful table and tree on Pinterest.
Always Beautiful. I follow Lynch Creek on Facebook, I pinned several photos and I love the Christmas Morning Centerpiece.
Thank you for always inspiring ideas for tablescapes! I have loved your ideas for quite a while now as I decorate tables for my ladies’ group and borrow ideas.
The Quiet Frost centerpiece speaks to me. I also pinned your table with the red glassware and cardinal ribbon. Beautiful.
Mary, I love the Mountain Adventures centerpiece! The ribbon adds so much. Your plates pair perfectly. I love them too! I followed LCF on FB. I pinned several of your pics. I would also choose the Mountain Adventures as it’s just so cute! Take care. We’re traveling today to east TN as we lost another sweet older person that impacted our lives in such a positive way. He was such a a good man. We will miss him. You may get some rain in a couple of days. We’re getting rain this evening. Clara❤️
Some many choices, all beautiful!

Thank you for all your incredible posts !
I follow Lynch Creek on Instagram. I pinned one of your photos that showcased the Cardinal Lantern. I would have loved the Away in the Manger centerpiece and so must a lot of others as it is sold out. I would probably chose the same centerpiece as you or the one with the Snowy Owls. All are beautiful!
Following Lynch Creek Farms on Instagram. I pinned the Mountain Adventure centerpiece picture and that centerpiece is my favorite.
How generous of Lynch Creek Farms to offer your readers this giveaway. Everything on their website is lovely but I especially love the Mountain Adventure centerpiece and would be thrilled to win it.
Love your tablescape and pinned the overhead view.
Oh how pretty Mary! The snow globe lantern with the truck inside is adorable and I love the cardinal ribbon loops you added to the beautiful LCF centerpiece! Your tablescape is so so pretty with your Christmas tree in the background, you have been busy! Everything from LCF is beautiful, I can’t pick a favorite. I love that they protect their trees and forest and are careful with the greenery. I am really itching to get my decorations up now!
Jenna
I follow Lynch Creek on Instagram and Facebook. I pinned your site. Love the way you enhanced the centerpiece and made it your own. Hard to choose but I collect nutcrackers. So Nutcracker King!
So many pretty centerpieces to choose from! I would select the Christmas Morning arrangement. Thanks for sharing this great resource for fresh greenery.
Good Morning, Mary! Where did you find that lovely plaid tabletop throw?
Thanks so much for this lovely giveaway!
I would choose either Mountain Adventures centerpiece or Red Pacific Bay.
Followed on Insta and pinned…twice!
Your posts just make my holidays!
Thank you both for doing this contest. Nice way to start the day. If I were to win I would want Cyber Monday, if it is still available as a lot of their things are sold out. I always look forward to your posts. And the pin I posted was of course the Cardinals.
Did I miss where the Cardinal wire-edge ribbon may be purchased?
OMGosh! How fun, timely and inspirational is this post!!! Once again you came through with such beauty and spirit!
* Classic Christmas or Away in a Manger centerpiece …(I’d love anything, surprise me!)

Thank you, for the opportunity!
Was really eyeing and loving that Nutcracker centerpiece…and I’m not even much of a Nutcracker fan. And then I saw it…the Majestic Magnolia wreath. That’s it!!!
Mary, such a delightful centerpiece. Your table is lovely. Love the tablecloth too. I would choose the same as you, Mountain adventure since I have a red truck. The addition of the red cardinals is so striking and festive. I do follow Lynch Creek on Instagram, Facebook and I have also pinned a photo to Pinterest. Love the darling snow globe lantern with the red truck and cardinal.
All are beautiful and I would be thrilled with any one of them. The cardinals draw my attention immediately as one of my favorite birds. The ribbon is a standout also.
The snow globe is charming with a very cozy traditional feeling and the nativity lantern is always a reminder of Christmas.
Your selections are always brand tasteful .
Eek, not brand but beautiful, in my above comment
Good morning Mary! You bring such fun to every table setting! I love this one, the cardinals are such a happy touch and bring some of the magic of Christmas and the winter season to your table. Happy Thursday dear Mary! xo Lidy
Loved your square chargers with the truck plates! Started following Lynch Farm on Instagram- my favorite centerpiece on their website is Grandmas Cottage
Your addition of the cardinal ribbon made beautiful, sublime! I would choose the RED PACIFIC BAY CENTERPIECE from Lynch Creek Farm—lovely & classic.
Hi, Mary! Your centerpiece ties in perfectly with your theme. Lynch Creek Farms has an amazing selection with something for everyone. If I were the lucky recipient of your generous offer, I would choose the Nutcracker King centerpiece. That way I would be able to add the Nutcracker to my small collection and would treasure having him for years to come! Happy Holidays! 🎅🤶🎄❄️☃️
Love, love, the wreath used on the table as a centerpiece, I have a Lynch Creek light up every green wreath arriving December 13th, so excited to be bringing in the greens for the Yule tide celebration’s
Mary, I pinned several images because one is never enough with all the gorgeous images in your posts! My two favorites were your centerpiece with the addition of the cardinal ribbon and the bird house ornament.
I love Lynch Creek Farm!! Last year because of your beautiful post telling about their farm, I decided to send my best friend a lovely centerpiece…she was delighted! I would choose the Mountain Adventure like you. I pinned your photo of such and am already following Lynch Creek Farm. Happy Holiday season to you…our first snow in Central Oregon arrived this morning!
Although I loved all the centerpieces on the Lynch Creek website, my favorite thing was the Cardinal Christmas Tabletop Tree. So pretty.
Loved them all, but it would be fun to choose Hunters Hollow centerpiece!
Hallelujah! I can post again. I’ve been having difficulty accessing this blog and leaving a comment for about two weeks. I was so excited to find it working again. I was the lucky recipient of Mary’s giveaway of a Lynch Creek centerpiece one year and we enjoyed it very much. The greens were fresh and full. Congratulations to whoever wins this year. You are in for a treat!
I am following them on instagram, I love the Nutcracker centerpiece!

Lynch Creek’s products are all so beautiful! This year, I would choose the Christmas By The Bay centerpiece. I follow them on Instagram and I pinned your Deck The Halls page to Pinterest.
Thank you so much for this promotion!
The ‘deer DEAR’ centerpiece stole my heart. We are new to the state of Montana and live on a mountainside overlooking the quaint, historic town of Helena. Just over the crest of our mountain is a National Forest … and the ‘deer’ come ‘to town’ on a daily basis. They have a long established route from the woods into the ‘village’ .. that circles our home … and where we have learned the wonderful acceptance of Montana folk who ‘live peacefully’ with their animal neighbors here in Helena. The deer often stop for a little rest under the guest room bedrooms at our home “Casa Grande’ .. and each spring they leave their ‘babies’ beside our home while they go ‘into town’ for a ‘walk-about’ and to nibble on new ‘spring branches’.
So … the QUIET FROST ‘centerpiece’ won my heart
LOVE this post! It is so festive. Heading to Lynch Creek Farm website from here – going to have something sent to my poor MIL who had hand surgery and won’t have the use of her hand for 9 months. Big deal. She needs some comfort and loves cardinals so much. Red cardinal is my state bird. (Ohio.) Thanks for the inspiration, Mary!!
I forgot to say wow to this giveaway – I drooled all over my keyboard at their wares. I ordered my MIL the cardinal snow globe centerpiece. She’s going to be thrilled! For me I’d take any of those dreamy fresh wreaths, oh my gosh I absolutely love fresh greenery at Christmastime. I especially love the Mixed Holly one, or the Traditional One. I pinned that incredible pic of your table with the tree in background, your stunning Lynch Creek Farm centerpiece and the red votive holders, etc. in front.
Thank you!!!
Good Morning,
I pinned the beautiful centerpiece. Followed Lynch Creek on Facebook and in looking at their website, would choose one of their gorgeous wreaths. BTW, Mary, Since I saw the blanket you made with the Bernat Alize EZ yarn, I loved it and have now made 6 of them. My family is getting warm blankets this Christmas thanks to you.
Thank you for the chance to win. If I would be so lucky to win, my choice would be Cardinal Cottage. All of Lynch Creek’s products are so beautiful.
Lovely! Pinned your picture of the lantern and cardinal ribbon! liked Facebook for Lynch Creek Farm. I would love to win the Cardinal wreath.
As always, Mary your holiday tablescape is exquisite! I would choose the “Cardinal Cottage” centerpiece because it is our state bird and just screams Christmas to me and they are frequent visitors to our feeders! I follow Lynch Creek Farm on Instagram! I pinned your beautiful display of your centerpiece! Always resort to your account because I love everything you post, especially your tablescapes with Pam and Lidy! Happy Holidays!
Mary, thank you for this beautiful post and another fantastic giveaway. I followed Lynch Creek Farms on Facebook and if I’m the lucky winner, I would choose the cardinal globe centerpiece. It’s stunning!

Mary, the arrangement you chose is beautiful and looks so wonderful on your Christmas table. Your table is just gorgeous, and I love those sweet plates. Lynch Creek Farms has so many pretty arrangements that it is difficult to choose a favorite. The Away in a Manger one really speaks to me though. I have purchased their arrangements the past few years, and the quality is amazing. Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week!
I can vouch for the quality of Lynch Creek products. I send one to my in-laws in Arizona as a reminder of home, The Pacific Northwest. They always rave about it. I would love to win something for myself. This year I sent one of the red lantern centerpieces and was impressed by how cute the lantern in your close-up pictures is. I missed that when I ordered.
Such a beautiful table! It would be a joy to dine at your table! I would choose Natural Beauty for my table.
Awesome giveaway! I would love to have the beautiful Classic Christmas Centerpiece. I liked Lynch Creek Farms on FB. Love your post! Have a wonderful Christmas!
