Fab Freebie: Sherry’s Birthday Wish

***This giveaway has reached its cap and is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys shut this puppy down with 10,000 entries in less than a day. Wow! So we’ve already selected our random winner. She is… Rhonda (who thinks she’s gonna ask for a juicer – to go along with her Christmas blender). Congrats!

Tomorrow is Sherry’s 31st birthday. So a few weeks ago I asked her if she wanted to do anything special giveaway-wise to celebrate. She looked dreamily towards the sky, a smile spread across her face, and she said “I want to do a Jonathan Adler giveaway and I want a picture of him holding ceramic animals and grinning like a fool. Because we are kindred spirits. That would pretty much make my year.”

A week later this photo appeared in my inbox:

Jonathan Adler Giveawy Ceramic Animals

The girl wanted a Jonathan Adler giveaway (you can read more about her love of the guy here) and the girl got it. The wonderfully cheerful people of Jonathan Adler were completely down with the idea (and the ceramic-animal-centric photo, apparently) so they’ve offered up a whopping $500 for one lucky winner to spend on whatever they’d like – animal or otherwise. Beyond obsessing over his white ceramic creatures, Sherry shares his love of poppy patterns, colorful accents, and chic accessories that don’t take themselves too seriously. So, um, happy birthday to one of you!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    This giveaway is so timely – it’s my birthday in 3 weeks and I’m turning 40! One gift I know I’m getting is a trip to Vancouver where I’m meeting my best friend so that is great. Anything else is icing on the cake, so to speak. :)

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my next b’day, I’d love to take a trip to the sea with a few friends of mine. Since it’s in December, we’d be flying a kite, go for a loooong walk and cosy up with a cuppa cocoa next to the fireplace.

    My birthday is coming up mid April and I would love to get a nail gun to help with my crown molding dreams! If you had asked me even 1 year ago if I would ever want something like that I would have thought you were crazy. Bring on the DIY adventures!

    Birthday me! My 30th just passed and I had hoped it would be monumental. Instead it was a tiny party with my oldest friends and no booze since I am still nursing our 10 month old. But in some ways that is monumental. For my next birthday I think I want a pool party. I was born in January so I’ve always wanted one!

    I live by the Jonathan Adler store in Atlanta. I’m doing my spring redecorating now; those great pops of color will spice up my space! For my birthday, I usually just ask for a card and cake. My sisters are both very practical girls and get me things like razors :)
