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 think I’d like my birthday to involve sleeping in, and doing something fun outside with my family! Most specifically though, I don’t want to plan ANYTHING – have food and events all planned for me! That would be a treat!

    I’m a shoe hoarder, so naturally I’m hoping for a new pair of shoes. Doesn’t matter to me if they are sandals, flats, or some sassy leather boots. I’ll take them all :)

On my 53rd birthday this September I’m dreamin’ of a redo party . . . my family & friends coming over to redo the lower level of our tri-level home . . painting our 70’s pine paneled den, painting the paneling in our computer and utility rooms, and painting over the small bathroom with fresh colors and getting everything ready to lay down carpet in the den and ceramic tile throughout the rest of the floor for a totally fresh, crisp look!

    Birthday me (please!)!

    My birthday is in a month and I would LOVE to have a night at a hotel and the ability to sleep uninterrupted for 12 hours and sleep in… I have 2 young kiddos under 3 so sleep is pretty much the one thing I don’t have that I really really want (and need). But Jonathen Adler loot would not be a bad gift either ;)
