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 was in February. I got a Kindle Paperwhite and I love it! I’ve become addicted to your blog over the past week (I read back to Christmas time already!) as my boyfriend and I prepare to buy our first home this summer. I’m inspired by a lot I see, particularly your patterned area rugs and that’s what I’ll be hoping for next year. :)

    Birthday Me!! I agree, I love the happiness of Jonathan Adler’s stuff, but I can never afford that kind of “happiness” for my own home. Such a generous idea. I am going to be 40 this year, so it would be a great present, I just moved to TX and so far I only feel at home at Jonathan’s store in Austin. I walk through dreaming of decorating my house with his stuff. Please, Please, Please. I’ll name whatever ceramic animal I buy after you guys. I have a West Elm knock off elephant named Steve already. Surely you can all be friends!

    My birthday just passed a coupled months ago, but I’m hoping get a roll top desk that I can paint white and have a punchy colors in side (I’m loving orange these days). But what would be even more awesome would be if my college friends and I can have a weekend reunion in a fun city.
