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! My birthday isn’t until July. This year isn’t a party year – my husband and I are 3 weeks apart in age, so we have a big party at the decades (our “60th” was when we both turned 30, etc.). As long as it includes cheesecake and time with my family, I’m good.

    My birthday is coming up soon! I would love for the husband to start pecking away at the honey-do list! However, as we are in a blizzard warning as we speak (North Dakota) – I don’t think our outside plans can happen anytime soon.

    BIRTHDAY ME! On my birthday, I always take the day off and do something that I’ve been wanting to do. Some years I go somewhere I’ve never been, sometimes I spend it with family and/or friends, and other times I just stay home and enjoy my space. It’s my day to celebrate ME. This year I’ll probably spend the day with my sister and her family, which will be lovely.

    BIRTHDAY ME…. since my birthday is two days away (one away from Sherry’s) I am looking forward to time with family. We just got a new grill and I am hoping to get some accessories. :)
    Nothing will ever be as wonderful as my gift 7 years ago. I found out I was expecting my first and only child on that birthday.
    Happy Birthday Sherry!
