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’d like a new and improved deck for my upcoming 30th. That’s not asking for much on such a momentous occasion, is it? :)

    I got a surprise 30th birthday party last year, so I’m fine with this one being low-key, although I never turn down presents…

    BIRTHDAY ME!!! I will be 30 this year. The one thing I want for my birthday is to have a big party with the people I love. It’s not been an easy 30 years, and all I really want to celebrate making it this far mostly intact. And maybe eat some pie.

    Actually, Jonathan Adler stuff is ALWAYS topping my wish lists. Hubby knows this, and loves him too, so it’s kind of become a go-to gift place for both of us!!

    BIRTHDAY ME! This year, I’m hoping to take a flying trapeze lesson for my birthday. I was a gymnast growing up, so I hope some of those (rusty) skills translate, but I am afraid I’ll climb the ladder to grab the trapeze and be too scared to jump! Anyway, happy birthday, Shari!

    My birthday was actually this past Saturday – and I had a wonderful weekend with family and friends, which is all I could have asked for. We’re an Irish family, so celebrating with drinks and Irish tunes was the best way to do it!
