Heart Happy Host | Interior & Table Styling | Grazing Boards

Hi to some new faces here 🙋🏻‍♀️🌸 - I’m Alethia, mom of two, Canadian from Toronto living on Long Island in New York. I love hosting family & friends at our colonial-style house, setting a pretty table, styling cheese boards, anything to do with flowers, interior styling and travel (36 countries to date). 💕 Thanks for following - I’d love to learn more about you and what content you hope to see more of!

Dessert therapy! 💖🍫 Bake 6 bars of different color chocolate bars at 180F for 10 mins. I used @cadburyusa and @chocolove. Use a chopstick or knife to draw lines through the chocolate (so therapeutic!) Top with your favorite toppings like nuts, shredded coconut and craisins. When cool, break it apart and serve! {Inspired by @bethbierema and @host_to_perfection} #chocolatebark #chocolatebarks #marblechocolate #marbledchocolate #christmaschocolate #christmaschocolates

PSA: you don’t have to buy new items to set a beautiful #christmastable 🎄🍽️. Grab 1️⃣ a few ornaments and scatter them throughout and 2️⃣ an existing garland no matter the color and add them to your table or island where you’re serving food from. Instant texture, shine and Christmas feels without extra 💸. Tag me in any tables you set!

The best time in New York! 🎄🗽🌟🧑🏻‍🎄🎁 The city is full of holiday decor inspo and here’s my favorite things to do ⬇️: @bryantparknyc winter village full of cute shops, food stalls and a skating rink (this is also one of my favorite trees!) @rockefellercenter’s famous tree. Catch the view from 5th Ave framed by all the angel lights. In past year’s this was the best spot to see the Saks light and music show also, sadly canceled this year @macys windows with new interactive displays every year and a free visit to Santaland if you sign up @radiocitymusichall to see @therockettes ! You have to see this incredible show at least once in your life 😍 @hudsonyards which is full of beautiful indoor light displays and performances @newyorkpalace Lotte’s Christmas tree (the first one in this reel) which is always great for photos with a treats cart outside @grandcentralnyc and its holiday markets #newyorkchristmas #newyorkchristmastree #newyorkchristmaswish #newyorkchristmastime #nycchristmas #christmasinnewyork #christmasinspiration #nycholidays #nycholiday #nycholidaymarket #nycholidayseason #nycholidaywindows

#HappyThanksgiving and wishing you and your family a gratitude, joy, feasting-filled day 💜💖🧡. This year I am grateful for my immediate and extended families, old and new friends (you’d think that past 40 you don’t make that many new friends but life has happily proved me wrong!), a home we’ve filled with love and that we can host in, the gift of time, and the grace of God. Enjoy this first look at my most colorful #thanksgivingtable yet, thanks to @talkingtables_tt for the fun pumpkins and candle holders.
