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!

Jonathan Adler Giveaway Moodboard

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Jonathan Adler

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 20th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

    Birthday me! It’s my birthday in a couple of weeks. My children think I’ll turn 23 – ah hum… Let’s just say I left the 20s and 30s behind some time ago ;-)
    I’d love to go to the JA shop and pick something colourful to remember this birthday. It might be the last time I can say I’m in my 20s without getting roller eyes from the boys.

    Seriously… anything JA. I frequent the warehouse sales here in NY when they come around and probably have more Jonathan Adler merch than any 23 year old reasonably should. I have always wanted the giraffe lamp, and lately I’ve really been wanting the cube throw!

    My birthday is this week actually, the 24th of March. I would love to get a hug, a giant bottle of wine and a foot massage. Maybe a lottery win as well since I was just made redundant.
    ….and few gift cards so I can go and buy all the soft towels and linens be been keeping my eye on. Mmmm snuggly towels, everyone deserves a big snuggly towel.

    It’s the 19th here in my timezone already, so happy birthday to Sherry!

    By my next birthday (May) I hope to have my backyard all ready for a little celebration. We just moved to a new house and the backyard needs some work. I’m currently in the market for outdoor furniture, plants, etc. I also envision this celebration with ice cream. Lots of ice cream.
