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!!!!

    It was recently my birthday and the one thing that makes me happy every year on my birthday is my fave cake, the same cake I’ve been eating on my birthday since I was sixteen (and from the same bakery so hopefully they continue to stay in business or my birthday will never be the same.) The Princess Cake is all I need to make my birthday great. Happy Birthday to you Sherry! I hope you get you some Princess Cake. :)

    BIRTHDAY ME

    I’d love to spend my August birthday eating a corner piece of store-bought birthday cake, complete with lots of extra icing-y flowers or balloons or really just any extra icing would be good. I can’t wait to sit on my porch with my dog and my friends, and just enjoy the summer sun, which I so desperately desire this cold and dreary day.
