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!

Jonathan Adler Giveaway Moodboard

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Jonathan Adler

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One

    Birthday Me! My sister and I have birthdays two weeks apart so we always meet in the middle and take each other out for dinner and shopping so I am looking forward to that as well as a romantic dinner cooked for me by my hubby on my actual birthday! (He’s taking cooking lessons so he has 9 months to figure it out lol)

    BIRTHDAY ME! I want to receive gift cards so that I can purchase a new sofa. We lost ours under certain dog related circumstances that I wish to not elaborate on further. Something to sit in the living room during the birthday party would be great! I’m not hoping to have a BIG party, because if I don’t get the sofa it will be standing room only, but more importantly I love my small group of friends. I’m on full on hinting campaign these days. I’ve never been a “hinter” in the past, but this year its “game on.” And….finally…I’d love to eat some pistachio ice cream…on my new sofa…on my birthday.

    My next birthday will be my 40th and I will be a brand new mom! Hard to think of a better gift than finally holding our little baby in my arms, but that Jonathan Adler ceramic fox would sure look adorable in the nursery! Our family has a special connection to foxes.

    Happy Birthday, Sherry!
