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!

    Every year for my birthday, my 2 boys write me an original song. As they get older, the songs become even more fantastic. Can’t wait until August to see what they come up with this year :)

    Birthday ME! If i won this giveaway, I would die, and not make it to my next birthday! ;) For my next birthday, I am hoping to visit back home in TX. I moved to VA last year, and spent my 30th without my amazing friends! But VA rocks, so it made up for that quickly. Thanks for the rad giveaway you guys!

    My birthday was exactly 2 weeks ago, and it was a good weekend, but nothing too special. Except for the fact that my parents gave me a gift certificate to Nordstrom’s and I’m looking forward to adding a few staple pieces to my wardrobe!
