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!

    My birthday is in two weeks and I would love a trip to an eco lodge in Costa Rica or Peru. I’m a nut for birds, so spending a week in tropical paradise looking for birds is my nerdy dream come true!

    My birthday (30th!) was last week and my wish was to celebrate all month long. So far I’ve gone skiing, saw a beautiful sunrise, took a long weekend to go hiking, and had a surprise party. I plan to turn 30 every year now. :)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    Can I have Jonathan Adler?! Too cute when attractive men go corny. Fine! If I can’t have JA I’d be happy with an outing to the park with my own husband and bubby. Last year husband had one of his rare all-the-boys-get-together and it fell right on my birthday and I told him he had to go because they so rarely get together all of them. But this year I would like to have my little family together and just be cozy.

    My birthday is this Wed. and I am dreaming of an antique kilim or Persian rug for basically any room in my house. I’m not hoping for a big party…just spending time with my hubby and kiddos. I would love a new (old) rug, but would settle for a pretty bracelet or a gift card to Etsy. Happy Birthday, Sherry!

    I don’t know what I want for my birthday but since it’s not till December I’ve got plenty of time to figure it out. Last year I wanted a Samsung galaxy tab 2 but I had to wait til tax time to get it.

    I suppose meeting you two would be an awesome, awesome, awesome gift…. I am shameless, I know…
