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! For my next birthday I hope I can celebrate with new friends I’ve made. Last year I’d lived in Nashville about two weeks before my 30th birthday and didn’t know anyone. This next year I am hopeful there will be many friends to celebrate with!

    Birthday Me… My next birthday is my 30th and all I want to do is spend one weekend in Vegas, with just my hubby, and no kids or crazy, drunk friends (ha!) I want to “do” Vegas like a grownup, and go to good shows and dine at good restaurants.

    ps: I love that picture of Jonathan Adler SO much (fingers crossed!)

    For my next birthday, more than anything, I want to be able to have a party at home with my man. We have been living apart since we graduated so that we can save up and more than ANYTHING I want to have a big dinner party in the place we call home.

    My birthday is next month (32 here), and I really want to go to brunch with my mom, sis, and a couple of close friends. With endless mimosas, of course. I’ve wanted to do that for several years in a row, and it just hasn’t happened yet.

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!!… for my next birthday… (which will be in 2 weeks!) I would love to celebrate exactly as we did last year. My husband rented a bounce house for our little family of 4 to enjoy. We didn’t have to worry about knocking over anyone else’s kids and got to jump in it all by ourselves late at night. Only difference this year? Macaroons! Definitely Macaroons! :) Happy Birthday!

    Every year I like to go somewhere on my birthday, last year it was the aquarium and then out for seafood (ironic). And this year I plan to go to NASCAR. I love going and doing something that I will probably only do that one time this year. :)
