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
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BIRTHDAY ME” and tell us…

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 20th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

    BIRTHDAY ME! I’m turning the big 3-0 this year, so I’m hoping one of my close friends will hook me up with a room at a hotel owned by the company she works for (with friends too, obvs), so I can get the heck outta dodge without breaking my budget! :) (And that pic of Mr Adler is amazing!!)

    You know you’re getting old when you ask for completely practical things for your birthday. I want my car detailed and a cleaning service to come clean my house. Snooze…..I’d also like a spa day. I recently had a baby and breastfed for 10 months; I deserve it!

    Happy Birthday, Sherry!!!

    My birthday is March 21, so this is really timely. And since I am pregnant with our first child (a girl!), the idea of having $500 to spend on amazing Adler goodies for her nursery would be an incredible birthday surprise!
    All I really want for my birthday, though, is a healthy happy baby later in early July!

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!

    It’s my birthday in a week! And my first as a new mama! As I live in Australia, I’ve only just discovered Jonathan Adler via YHL blog and I am obsessed with those ceramic animals!!! Especially the fox! I’ve been working on a woodlands critter theme for my little girl’s bedroom – these little ceramic critters would be PERFECT!
    PS. I’m dropping subtle birthday gift hints to my hubby: Morning darling (I want an ipad), can I get you a coffee (can you get me an ipad?), I think the lawn needs to be mowed (have a think about where you can buy me an ipad) :)

I’m hoping to tag along on one of my hubby’s business trips to NY on or around my birthday though… I’ve never been!
