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
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 20th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!

    Next fall will be my 25th and I’m planning a visit with my twin brother. In the last 8 years we’ve only managed to celebrate together once (our 21st birthday) and it’s always bittersweet to celebrate apart. Growing up, I couldn’t wait until I could have a birthday I didn’t have to share, but I ended up hating it! Who knew the “Birthday Song” was so embarrassing??? I always had someone to sing to so I never noticed how awkward it is to have people singing at you until I couldn’t sing along, too!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    Last year I did a HUGE bash for my 30th (365 days later) and I’ve decided to keep it low key from now on. Of course that did not deter me from purchasing NKOTB tickets for the following Saturday…

    Birthday me, please! My early January birthday is usually fairly low key with the holidays just over, so a belated gift card would be fabulous. So many fun and colorful things to choose from is the perfect spring perk-me-up. Happy Birthday Sherry, and thanks for sharing!

    Birthday me! Tomorrow is my 31st birthday as well! I should automatically win, right?

    But really, this is my first birthday with my baby girl in my life. Last year my husband was traveling for work and I was home, alone, 7 months pregnant. This year I’m grateful that we’ll all be together as a family of three! That’s wonderful enough.

    But there still better be chocolate. And ice cream. Can’t forget the ice cream.

    Happy birthday to you Sherry!

    As I share a birthday with my twin sister, a do-over of our last birthday would be nice: A nice supper out, pedicures, and an overnight stay at a local hotel with our daughters. Though it would be nice to plan something to include our sons and hubbies too…

    Being a mid-July birthday girl, birthdays have never really been my thing. In the last 10 years, I’ve been home for my actual birthday ONCE. So, this year, I’ll be home and glad for it!
