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’ve got the big 2-9 coming up, and my favorite band just announced a concert date near me about two weeks after my birthday. Pretty sure I’m asking hubs for tickets as my present!

    Can I first say that if I had not already been a huge Jonathan Adler fan, this picture would totally do it for me? What a great sport!

    And this next birthday I hope to have a party with friends, complete with Mexican food and cupcakes, and get a purse I’ve been lusting after for the past year.

    Happy early birthday, $herdog!

    I just had my birthday in February and got more than I could ask for (a drawing tablet for the computer, a new purse, and a day with my man spent indoor skydiving). So my brain and heart are still too full from this year to think about next year :)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    For my birthday, I would love to have John and Sherry, along with Katie Bower, come to my house and work all kinds of wonderful decorating magic. If I can’t have that, then I’d like a vitamix blender. However, it’s more realistic that I’ll get some handmade cards from the kiddos (my favorite kind) and some gift cards. :)

    Happy Birthday Sherry! Hope you have a great day!

    My 30th birthday was just this past weekend; and I celebrated with family at a cottage in Michigan. It was a wonderful weekend with great food, so much fun and conversation- just perfect. A great escape from the city. I would be thrilled with a repeat next year if I am so lucky.

    Sherry – I think ceramic animals for all is fantastic. Should be the slogan of 2013!

    I would love to do… anything for my birthday! lol We work in the motorcycle industry and every year my birthday falls during the biggest trade show in our area so we I get to celebrate by working 14 hour shifts for days on end… I recently had a baby which got me out of working shows, but unfortunately didn’t get my husband or friends out of working them so now I get to be bored and lonely for my birthday. :) Can’t win!
