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! All I want for my birthday is Carl Kassell’s voice on my voicemail. I listen to “Wait, Wait, Don’t tell me!” every week, and every week I am filled with envy that others have his amazing radio voice on their voicemail. This is so nerdy, but not as nerdy as the time I asked for a globe and atlas for my birthday in 2nd grade…

    Birthday Me! I had a very low key (and pretty sad) birthday this year, as our dear friend’s little boy was very ill, and died a few days later. All I really want next year, when they reach the one year anniversary of losing Robbie, is for them to be able to feel peace and joy again.

    My next birthday is my 30th! I have tons of plans. The thing I want the most is for my 5 siblings and I to all have a get-together while we are still all in our 20s. But I also want a piano, a grown-up purse, a spa day. . .my poor husband will be in charge of budgeting the big day!

    Just kidding. Well, I’m not kidding, but I’m also not (at all!) expecting all that.

    I don’t have any crazy birthday wishes, but I wouldn’t say no to some pie. Cake is nice and all, but it ain’t got nothing on homemade pecan or apple ala mode.
