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!

    I just had a birthday back in January, so I’m not jonesing for the next one just yet. Ideally I’d get to spend the day with friends and get some cash, like every other year. :D

    Happy birthday, Sherry!

    Birthday Me!!!

    Next year I want a birthday without breastfeeding. I know it’s a weird wish, but this year I turned 30 with a 5 month old. Since breastfeeding is really important to me and my supply is low, I couldn’t go too far away or indulge myself in some nice cocktails. I feel like breastfeeding has consumed my life, but is definitely worth it for my little boy Sawyer!! Here’s to next year!

    OK, I really, really, **really** hate to admit this, but I didn’t know who Jonathan Adler was so my wife, Heidi, showed me. Now, the part I hate to admit…after looking at some of the things showing online I HAVE to have the Barbie doll wreath looking thing and the silver Moroccan poofs! The wreath is neat and funky and would look great over our fireplace! And the poofs? well, what can I say…I LOVE shiny sparkly stuff and those would be FUN in our family room! My birthday (46th) is November 25th but maybe I can talk Heidi into getting me an early present!

    Birthday Me!! On my birthday I look forward to a card from my boyfriend of 5 years who I live with. He’s never been a “card person” but understands that I LOVE them. It’s painful for him to pick out a card but he does it because he knows how much it means to me. He’ll even get me one from our pets!

    Birthday me! For my next birthday, I just want my dad to remember it! (Don’t worry! This is not a sad, woe is me thing. ) My dad ALWAYS calls me early in the morning….like 5am early….to be the first to wish me a happy birthday. In all of my 33 years, it has been this way. I just had my bday – on 3/6 – and did not hear from him. He forgot! He’s been under a lot of stress at work and just plum, honest to goodness, forgot. And it was a combination of hillarious and heart break to hear him profusely apologize over and over again when he called the next day! He felt so terrible; there is no way I could have been upset with him!

    It was just my birthday on the 14th. I spent it in a car for 13 hours with 2 toddlers and an infant. My gift was new dish towels. So I think pretty much anything will make my birthday better next year ;) Especially if I can stare dreamily at Jonathan Adler accessories in my house!
