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 would love to have a birthday with giant cupcakes, diet coke, and all me friends and their kiddos running around! Perhaps Justin Timberlake could serenade me while Ryan Gossling reads to me all the “hey girl” memes that I love! Oh and if the cupcakes could magically have no calories, that would rock!
    You’re invited! ;)

    BIRTHDAY ME

    Last year I left my family in IL to come home to Canada on my birthday because I’d been away for so long I just wanted to get home. I’ve regretted doing that basically since the day after my birthday. So this year, I’m hoping to be home in IL WITH my family on my birthday (July 13.) I’m sorry Momma!

    I had a great birthday this year (it was actually this past Saturday), my wife took me out to dinner at Papadeaux, this great cajun restaurant. Next year I’d like to do something similar, it would be nice to get together with some people for drinks and games though, I’m a game nut.

    Birthday me!!! Honestly I would give just about anything for that ceramic squirrel that Jonathan Adler is holding in that picture!!! My husband was bitten by a rogue squirrel a few Christmas Eves ago therefore launching an ever growing squirrel collection. (He was ok and it made for an amazing Christmas Eve ER visit where every doc in the place came in to hear the story AND we got out of going to my mother in law’s… ) That squirrel would be the king of our collection! LOL
