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!

    For my next birthday I am hoping that I am not doing a heck of a lot! I am hoping that I’m either heavily pregnant or dealing with a newborn babe. Doing not a lot for that reason would make me so happy!!

    This year I am determined to have some cake on my birthday. Last year it didn’t happen for me, due to a series of random, baffling mishaps.

    I just had the suckiest birthday ever (without being a sad sap about it) so white ceramic animals would make up for it. For the next one, I would just wish to share it with someone.

    Have a Happy Birthday fellow Pisces girl Sherry!

    For my last birthday I was hoping for a proposal, but no such luck ;). For my next one, I’m turning the Big 3-0 and we’re kind of hoping we can do a Dirty Thirty with a strip club/pub crawl. But you’d better believe there will be awesome ice cream no matter what we do!

    I had a pretty rockin time on my last birthday – pony keg and low-key party with my neighbors and best good friends – and I wouldn’t mind a repeat performance. I don’t have anything on my wishlist yet, but (thanks to Pinterest) I never have trouble finding lovely things to want.
