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!

    My birthday was just a month ago, so as I wait another 11 months for the next one I imagine my material desires will change about 1000 times. I can honestly say that this particular desire is present ;) every year for my birthday though…a celebration of not just me, but of the friends and family that help make me ME!

    Chocolate croissant for beeakfast, and an awesome dinner with Chocolate Mousse and a (or a few) chocolate martini(s). It’s the only fat I don’t feel silly indulging my ridiculous chocolate addiction.

    My son is due on my birthday this year, so all I really want is for him to be born healthy.
    With all the stress of the renos of our first house, my husband and I always remember that baby is now # 1, and that everything we are working hard for is worth it.
    I love your blog and take tons of ideas to use toward our new “nest”, All the best!
