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 birthday is actually coming up in less than 2 months and I’ve been thinking about asking for a new chandelier for the dining room that I’ve been eyeing for a year- does that make me too house obsessed?

    BIRTHDAY ME!
    Well, my fiance (will be husband by then) and I are a week apart in birthdays — his is Dec. 17th, mine is Dec. 24th. This year, he turns 30! So I’d rather skip my birthday festivities this year and plan something excellent for him. It would have to be a big ol’ party with a ton of his friends… I started thinking about it the day after he turned 29! :)
    For me, at least I’d like to dress crazy this year on my birthday. I think I missed out on that last year. Maybe a tiara, hmm?

    It will be my birthday in 12 days- I was hoping for the pink Cuisinart hot air popcorn popper that I pinned a while back but now I’m hoping for $500 shopping spree to Jonathon Adler! My husband is a terrible gift giver even when I spell it out for him so maybe you guys can birthday me instead!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    Well I would like to go on a ski trip. My birthday is right before Spring Break (I am a teacher so I still get a SB… don’t be too jealous) so the timing is perfect! And that is when my husband laughs and says “how about a card?”. Okay, that will be fine too. At least he remembered.

    It’s more like a birthweek than a birth*day*, really. (Hi. My name is Richelle and I am a tragically spoiled girl.) But ultimately, all I want is for everyone to say “happy birthday!” at some point.

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I had such an amazing birthday last year. Breakfast brought to my door by my loving boyfriend, a game system I really wanted, and a surprise meetup with close friends. I couldn’t ask for more, this coming year — I just want to be surrounded by the people I love (maybe also including my college best friend, with whom I recently reconnected)!!
