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!

    Last year I had y first birthday party since I turned ten (I’ll be turning 30 this year, so it had been a while!) and it was fun yet weird as most of my friends don’t really know each other!

    This year I am hoping for a quiet dinner with my closest friends, just having them there will be a enough of a present!

    Birthday Me! All three of our kids and my husband’s as well as my birthday are in August and September so we usually have one big birthday bash here at the house. I’m hoping to get some kind of moose present. For some reason I’m just obsessed with getting a moose head to mount in our entryway! A ceramic one would be amazing! I love Clara’s moose lamp and have been looking for a similar one everywhere lol

    I want a day at the spa surrounded by Ikea dark chocolate, a Westin dream bed and ALL my favorite DIY mags and books. That should be followed by a shopping spree to Lowe’s and no flack from my husband about buying power tools. :-)

    This summer I hit the 3-0 mark – I sorta want a big bash, but a low key family celebration has an appeal as well! Bring on the sweets and I am all set ;)
