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! On my birthday I will hopefully be living somewhere temporary while the renovation and extension of our house will have just started. My partner and I have dreamed of ‘part 2’ as we call it and CAN’T WAIT to get it all done and be settled in it. Sigh!

    Birthday me! I am hoping for nice weather this year for my birthday (in September) for a long bike ride with my man – as a kid that was always my birthday activity of choice, and my whole family would load up the bikes, climb in the truck, and find a trail! Time to resurrect the tradition!

    And p.s. how freakin AWESOME that Mr. Adler himself answered your birthday wish! Cheers, lady!

    Birthday me for my next birthday I would like to take a cruises with my entire family. My birthday was last week Sunday and I didn’t get a chance to spend it with family and friends. I don’t really need gifts but Starbucks homegoods and lowes gift cards are never turned down. Next to that they only need to feed me I love macaroni and cheese and pastries!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday was on the 10th and since I got the best present for Christmas (my fiancé proposed!) I was looking forward to time with family. Though for next year I could go without Daylight Savings and get an actual 24 hour birthday instead of 23. But I just think that means that this birthday didn’t really count!
