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! Next year is the big 3-0 for me and the majority of my friends. My husband and I had an idea for everyone to pitch in some $$ and throw ourselves a big wedding-like banquet complete with a DJ and dance floor…because if it’s just an event and not a wedding the price is the same as a nice dinner out! We will see if we can pull it all together… :)

    At first I couldn’t think of anything I wanted, but if I could have ANYTHING, I would want a design consultant come to my house and help me with decorating my house! I can’t decide on even a paint color to save my life! That would be an awesome present…

    I always ask for the same thing every year. I ask my husband and boys to give me “a day.” The whole day planned with no decisions for me to make – everything planned out – I just go along for the ride and enjoy.
