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. . . My next birthday coming up in a couple weeks is my 30th and I would absolutely love a cute little crystal chandelier for the teeny tiny bedroom I’m turning into a dressing room. Totally unnecessary but the perfect girly gift. I’d also love a backyard party with all my friends to help me ring in the new decade.

    Birthday me!!! I am mostly thankful that my birthday does not fall on Thanksgiving Day this year, last year my 30th birthday was on Thanksgiving Day and felt so uncelebrated. I am secretly wishing for a kitchen remodel to begin as my gift.

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I’ve been pregnant and/or nursing for the last three birthdays. I’ll give birth to our 2nd child two months before my birthday this year.

    All I want is a night off, and a cider. I miss alcoholic ciders, so tasty and I’ve been craving one this pregnancy but I am in the “totally abstain” camp!

    I always try to get to a Sizzler for my birthday. The menu has hardly changed since I was 8 years old and it was always fun to (when I was 8) so I like re-living it.
