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!!

    I would like a big party, I mean big, people I know, people I don’t know, costumes, food, everybody stays way too late and doesn’t regret it the next morning, some people accidentally end up sleeping in our basement or back porch and we make a makeshift brunch in the morning.

    BIRTHDAY ME! Just had the perfect birthday last Thursday actually: everyone at home, happy and healthy at the same time (not a common situation in a house with pre-schoolers), the perfect cake and a lot of pampering from my darling man. I got both a late morning start and a late night out with him and our closest of friends! Wouldn’t mind that every year…

    I’m actually getting a great birthday wish this year! I moved across the country from my best friend so we’re meeting in Las Vegas to jointly celebrate our birthdays. I’m turning 30 this year – hopefully our celebration will make that slightly less traumatic. Woot!

    Also, best giveaway ever!

    BIRTHDAY ME! I just celebrated my 32nd birthday…and while other friends celebrated it, my closest friends all left it up to the others to plan something, so nothing happened! Big bummer! So I hope next year, my girlies at least plan for us all to hang out together – that’s all I really want!

    BIRTHDAY ME! Oh, I would like a professional windo cleaning service to come. And all the screens re-splined. And the windo sills and moulding washed and painted. And the drapes taken out for dry-cleaning and the curtains washed, Ironed and re-hung. And the not-wide-enough curtain rod replaced. I guess I’m aching for some Spring sunshine. Thanks and happy birthday to youuuuuuuu
