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 just had my birthday, so I’m not even thinking about my next one yet! I got everything I asked for this time around, so next time I think I’ll just be happy with a big cookie cake with lots of frosting. :)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    It’s weird, since I’ve passed 20, my birthdays have basically become much less of a big deal. For this year, I’m really just wishing for a low-key day with family and friends. Oh, and to be done with uni by the time it rolls around. :)

    Birthday me! My bday happened not too long ago and since I was turning 30 I told my husband he needed to make a big deal of it. Oh! And that I wanted to celebrate it kid style. So he planned a surprise party and Dave and Busters. It was The best bday ever!

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my next birthday, I would be happy with a day of exploring area vintage shops with my husband, topped off with a tasty dessert! My birthday is in October, and I love autumn around here, so apple pie and ice cream sounds perfect to me!

    I would love to win this. I’ve been coveting the Jonathan Adler squirrel candlestick holders that I saw at Macy’s for ages.

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my next birthday I will have just given birth to my second child and my dream would be to have a day of beauty with my mom. Hair cut and colored, facials and massages. Sometimes a girl just needs to feel pampered, and my mom deserves the same treatment for being such a great grandmother!

    My birthday is usually in the summer so it’s soo hot to do anything. This year, it’s on a Wednesday, so it’ll probably be a low key visit out to a buffet or something.

    BIRTHDAY ME: For my 32nd Bday I would like to do something physical. I have been ill for years and only just getting my strength back. When my bday rolls around in 7 months I would love to be fit enough to dance all night long or sky dive or something. That would be fantabulistic! Allie
