Christmas at the ‘Barn’
With Christmas just around the corner, this is the perfect weekend to start decking the halls of your home or living space with the season’s festive colors and themed décor.
Among the many home-furnishing shops in the city, Pottery Barn is one of my favorite stores with their extensive selection of furniture, accessories and Christmas decorations.
Recently, Pottery Barn celebrated Rice de Jesus’ blog, Heart2Heart Online’s 10th anniversary at its flagship store located at Central Square. The celebration was themed as “A Christmas Home Filled with Love” which also showcased the shop’s Holiday collection.
Styling activities
To help guests visualize the possible furniture layout and Christmas setting, Rica had a styling activity that saw different interpretations from Junjun Ablaza, Sylvia Lopez, Chef Roselyn Tiangco-Siapno, Nisekrew, and Happy2Help.

Guests enjoyed viewing the other vignettes while bonding over food, stories, and lots of laughter. They were given a handful of giveaways from SaladStop!, Nars, Gap, L’Occitane, Beauty Bar, Marks & Spencer, Pinkberry, Rustan’s Supermarket, and Herr’s.
