Happy Thursday and last day of November! Did this month just fly by?!
“And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.”
Luke 2:7 ESV
My Monday Morning Blooms friends and I are excited to collaborate with Lynch Creek Farm once again to showcase their wonderful Christmas centerpieces and also offer a fabulous ONE DAY GIVEAWAY!
You will find Mary’s and Lidy’s links and the giveaway details at the bottom of this post.
The ‘Away in the Manger’ centerpiece is an important reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and was my reason for choosing this new Lynch Creek Farm centerpiece.
It celebrates the nativity beautifully with a gorgeous water globe that lights up with a gentle sparkle. The elegant bronze globe sits atop a bed of fresh noble fir, cedar, and white pine with accents of natural pinecones, gold berries, gold ball ornaments and gold bow tucks.
Lynch Creek Farm is a family owned company, established in 1980 by husband Andy Hunter and wife, Tracey. In the beginning it was an organic vegetable farm selling produce to farmers’ markets in Washington state. The farm sells dahlias during the summer months and produces the highest quality evergreen Christmas wreaths and centerpieces during the holiday season. They don’t cut down trees! Their sustainable practice of trimming branches for their boughs, without cutting down trees, helps protect their local forests and their fragile ecosystems.
As soon as I saw the centerpiece I knew the beautiful gift of ‘Bethlehem Christmas’ dinnerware from Lydia’s House that I received in 2016 would be perfect! There are 8 different designs that share the birth of Jesus according to the scriptures. That year on Christmas Day began a tradition that still continues. The plates are placed in order of the scripture. As we go around the table each member of our family reads the scripture on their plate. It is a beautiful way to share the true gift of Christmas – Jesus! Last year a reader ordered the dishware and shared that her mother loved the gift.
Glittering gold angels playing instruments create a symphony of music for the table!
The gold cake stand from our 50th wedding anniversary celebration was turned upside down and the centerpiece perfectly fits inside. I enjoy styling a table with memories that I can share!
Ralph Lauren placemats, gold chargers and flatware, plaid napkins paired with red ones, and Noritake ‘sweet swirl’ dark blue iced tea glasses complete each place setting.
Years ago my talented husband wrote a beautiful melody and penned words to a Christmas song that he titled “In A Manger”. I have shared the words before, but they are worthy to be shared again. I am a bit prejudice, but it is my favorite Christmas song!
“It started like any other night as shepherds kept their sheep,
The darkness changed to a guiding light come see the Prince of Peace.
Call his name Emmanuel, the Savior is born for you,
The angels sang, the announcement came, God’s promise has come true…
Chorus
…In a manger in Bethlehem, there lies a stranger in a foreign land,
Heaven’s joy in a manger makes my heart sing,
Holy love in a manger, Christ the King!…
…It started like any other night, too dark for me to see,
But then I found His glorious light, this Child was born in me.
I call His name Jesus, the Son of the highest is come,
Now we all can have His gift of life and worship Christ the son…
Repeat chorus:
Bridge:
…A gift of love all wrapped in grace, His Spirit is His seal.
With ribbons of joy and hope, for whosoever will!”
Repeat chorus:
Words and music: Butch Richardson
This beautiful centerpiece will last three weeks with regular misting and watering every three days. With the centerpiece and freshly cut cedar decorating our chandelier, the dining room smells like Christmas!

i absolutely love the Away in a Manger centerpiece but see its sold out, darn! Hootin Holiday is next! i have visited their FB page and follow them now. i pinned a pic.
Oh, how wonderful! I visited their site, and oh, my! It’s hard to say what I would choose should I be the blessed winner! But I think it would be a wreath and there may be enough left for a small centerpiece, too. That is such a generous giveaway! I pinned one of your lovely photos. And Butch’s song lyrics are so meaningful. I only wish we could hear the two of you singing it together and wish you would share your music with us. Your home looks picture perfect. So elegant and beautiful. Just like you, sweet friend, and an extension of your kind and loving heart. God bless you and your family today.
Your table is so beautiful Pam! I love how you inverted your gold cake stand to feature your centerpiece. Butch’s words and song he wrote are so poignant and fitting to accompany your table and your post. I can only imagine how lovely and moving it is, accompanied by his music. Thank you for sharing the Reason for the Season. Happy Thursday 🎄❤️
This is a gorgeous one, Pam. I can see why you chose this particular arrangement. I’m off to check out the other site! Happy Week!
Pam, your choice and table are beautiful (no surprise that it’s sold out). 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!
Love love love your table! Jesus is the reason for the season! I’m a follower and a pinner, and I would choose away in a manger (it appears to be sold out but maybe they could find just one more!) but the cardinals are beautiful—-shoot, anything from Lynch Farms would be a welcome decor for the holidays and I know it will last well into the NewYear! Beautiful post Pam. I hope I win. Going to Google those plates next! Merry Christmas!
I love how you’ve decorated your table! I would choose the Nutcracker King centerpiece.
I follow Lynch Creek Farm on Facebook and Instagram.
So very very beautiful Pam!!! Miss doing this with you all! The centerpiece is stunning along with the most beautifully decorated table!!! Have a very Merry Day!!!
Beautifully tablescape! I love the globe. I would pick a tabletop tree if I were to win, but everything is so gorgeous!
What a beautiful table! I loved that used your 50th Anniversary Pedestal as the base for the gorgeous arrangement. I pinned the last photo showing the entire table and began following you on Pinterest. I also started following Lynch Creek Farm on Instagram. Since I live in the mountains I would choose Mountain Adventures.
Gail
I pinned one of your lovely photos on Pinterest!
The Grandma’s Cottage is what I would choose. So many pretties on Lynch Creek’s website.
I pinned it on Pinterest. It’s beautiful.
So meaningful & beautiful! I am following Lynch Creek Farm on Instagram and have pinned a photo of your gorgeous table setting. I would choose either the Pacific Pepperberry wreath or the Majestic Magnolia wreath.
Pam, your table is gorgeous. The cake tray was a wonderful idea. The angels are so pretty. The dinnerware is beautiful and we love the message. I followed LCF. I pinned your centerpiece shot. I love the mountain adventures centerpiece. We’re headed to another older person’s funeral out of town today. We’ve lost so many this year. I realize they have had a long life and touched so many but we will still miss them as they impacted our lives in such a positive way. I know heaven has gained precious souls. Jesus is truly the reason for the season. Take care. We’re getting rain later today. Hope it comes your way. Clara❤️
As usual Lynch Creek Farm has a beautiful array of centerpieces. Choosing just one would be difficult. Your dining room is so lovely all the time but Christmas is my favorite. I cried just reading the words of Butch’s Christmas song. I would most definitely love hearing him sing it and maybe you would harmonize. What a legacy you are leaving your family.
I have had LCF’s pretty wreaths in the past but never a centerpiece. They are so gorgeous. I love your angels too. Have a great day sweet friend. Hugs. Kris
Your table is gorgeous Pam! I love the gold angels on either side of the beautiful Lynch Creek Farm centerpiece, so so pretty! Your scripture plates look wonderful paired with the plaid napkins and blue stemware. Butch’s song is amazing! All the Lynch Creek Farm centerpieces are beautiful, I couldn’t pick a favorite
Jenna
I love your tablescape! Especially since it honors our Savior. Thank you sharing your husband’s beautiful lyrics. I would love to hear it sung! I follow Lynch Creek in Instagram. I pinned one of your photos showing the Away in the Manger centerpiece. It is sold out but it would have been my choice. As a second choice I think I might chose the one with the owls, I think it was called Hootin’ Holidays. All are beautiful and I would love to win one.
How generous of Lynch Creek Farms to offer one of their lovely products to your readers. Everything on their website is lovely but I especially like the Mountain Adventure centerpiece and would be happy to win it.
What a talented husband and wife team you are. Butch’s lyrics are beautiful and so is your table! I would choose the Chickadee Charm tree if I was the lucky winner but all their selections are lovely. I enjoy your contributions to Monday Morning Blooms. Thank you and Lynch Family Farms for this generous giveaway.
Hi Pam! I would love to win the Hootin Holiday centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm. I followed them on Instagram and pinned your centerpiece on Pinterest. Merry Christmas!
Your table is beautiful Pam! Setting your centerpiece up on your gold cake stand makes it truly stand out. Your Butch’s song is so special, what a wonderful addition to your post. He is so talented! Your table is a joy, with all the beauty and the magic of the reason for the season. Happy Thursday dear friend! xo Lidy
Pam, Not only is your table most elegant, but you have chosen to highlight the true reason why we celebrate Christmas. A wonderful reminder at a time when so much attention is placed elsewhere, thank you! If I got to choose, I would pick either Cardinal Cottage or the Cyber Monday centerpiece also with cardinals. Cardinals are very special to our family and touch my heart at any sighting. Blessed Christmas, Marie M
What a gorgeous table—breathtaking! Your clever use of the intricate pedestal under the centerpiece, truly makes it the focus! Your husband’s song is lovely.
I would also choose the Away in a Manger centerpiece from Lynch Creek.
I love Mr. Richardson’s song! He is very talented! I already follow Lynch Creek Farm (the Christmas wreaths are my favorite) and I pinned your beautiful table I look forward to reading your posts. Have a great Thursday. Jackie
Just wonderful my dear friend! Thank you for such beauty and inspiration. Blessings.
Thank you, dear one!
I pinned a photo of your centerpiece and followed Lynch Creek Farm on Instagram. I would choose Mountain Adventures if I were to win.
So hard to choose one because all the arrangements are beautiful but I love the Mountain Adventures Centerpiece or the Brilliant Berries Wreath. I pinned your centerpiece and your darling Gold Angel. I am following Lynch Creek Farm on Instagram. Thanks for the beautiful post Pam that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas!
I love your nativity centerpiece– but I believe I would choose the cardinal wreath to match my other Christmas decor. I followed Lynch Creek, and pinned! Thank you Pam, Merry Christmas!
I have cats who get into everything, so I would choose the MODERN FARMHOUSE CENTERPIECE! So wonderful you can hang it or display it on a table. I follow the farm on Facebook. I pinned the final photo of the centerpiece and full tablescape. So beautiful!
Your husband has written a beautiful Christmas song, the lyrics are simply beautiful. And your Christmas tablescape is exquisite in every way!
Thank you for your sweet comments, Mary!
How lovely! Pinned a picture of your beautiful centerpiece. Also subscribed to Facebook for Lynch Creek Farm. I like the cardinal wreath best and just see it on my door welcoming those who visit during Christmas! Thank you!
How neat to incorporate your 50th anniversary cake stand with your new centerpiece from Lynch creek Farms. If I was so lucky to win, I would choose the Cardinal Cottage Centerpiece.
Hello sweet Pam, what a wonderful give away to offer. I have followed Lynch Creek Farms on Instagram for a long time, I love their center pieces and wreaths. My very favorite is Cardinal cottage for a very special reason. Of coarse I pinned from your blog. I love the greens in your chandelier , with the lights it looks like candles.
Pam, your table is beautiful! I love a table set with special and treasured memories. The arrangement you chose is my favorite. I have had Lynch Creek Farm arrangements the past few years. Their quality is outstanding, and I have even got more than 3 weeks out of an arrangement, and the fragrance of the fresh greens is amazing. I remember when you shared Butch’s Christmas Carol with us. It is such a beautiful song. Sweet friend, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!
Thank you, dear one! Your sweet comments always warm my heart!

What a beautiful reminder of the true reason for the season. Your table is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your husband’s song – I would live to hear the words with the music.

Oh my! Loving the Away in a manger! My heart just melted Pam. Hugs and blessings to you. Cindy

The gold angels are so sweet and I love that your used your gold cake from your 50th wedding anniversary – more memories! The song Butch wrote is beautiful – he is indeed a very talented man. Wishing you a lovely rest of the week.
Thanks so much, Kim! Happy Weekend!
Thank you my friend!
Thanks Pam for sharing this wonderful Christmas tablescape that tells of the true meaning of Christmas.
Since I love cardinals, I would select the cardinal cottage centerpiece or the pretty blue and silver silent night one. I pinned your final pic on my Christmas tablescapes group.
I am following Lynch Creek Farm on IG
I love that you included a Scripture with your post and that you picked the Nativity centerpiece. I love that one too. I also like the Christmas Adventures centerpiece with the red lantern and might pick that one if I would win. Thank you!
I pinned the giveaway photo on Pinterest.
Gorgeous table Pam. Your choice is so beautiful and touching. The golden cake stand is so beautiful. Congrats on your 50th wedding anniversary. I adore those blue goblets.
