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!

    I’m not hoping for anything too fancy, I’m more in favor of fun experiences in lieu of gifts. So since my birthday is in August . . . maybe my first ever rafting trip?? But I’d be thrilled to have a cool Jonathan Adler ceramic something or other for my mantel too :)

    My 30th is next month and ordinarily I would hope for a big celebration with my best friends, but we are hoping and praying that a certain little girl will be joining our family via adoption in a few weeks so I am hoping and hoping that my 30th consists of nothing but snuggling my new daughter and teaching her that I’m her mommy and will take care of her and love her for as long as I’m living! That would be the best birthday ever!
