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!

    We’ve had a tradition for a while to travel to OCMD on my birthday but we can’t this year because my sweet *little* niece is graduating high school the morning after my birthday! To see her graduate high school is enough of a present for me this year.

    My next birthday isn’t until November, so I haven’t thought much about it yet, but I just want it to feel more like a birthday – last year’s birthday was the same day I was finishing a job, moving, and getting ready for a trip. This year, I hope it’s less chaotic!

    Um…I KNEW we were kindred spirits, Sherry bc tomorrow is MY birthday, too :) I squealed when I read we shared the same bday….touching, right?! Anyways, tomorrow my husband is planning on bringing me home my favorite, Two Amy’ s pizza (we live in DC) and he and my three daughters are “throwing a party” for me. And on Thursday..I’m throwin’ my own party in Bethesda for my gal pals…to which you are MORE than welcome to join us. Gtown Cupcakes, balloons, cocktails & candy necklaces…classy, right? I plan on visiting JA’s DC store in April when we have a girls weekend…and could definitely take home that ceramic fox! Have a great birthday, Sherry!!
