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!!!

    Since I already went to see Madonna for my 40th last year with all my girls, I am thinking this year my hubby and I will just go out for a nice dinner – maybe I will even let the kids come along – as for a gift? Well, now I want a ceramic fox :)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    At the end of May, I will have graduated medical school and will about to be starting my residency in emergency medicine. I will have just moved back to Orlando, FL–for what will likely be the rest of my life-in order to be close to my family. So my hope for my birthday is that I am celebrating having just closed on and moved into my own, first, house, and that me and my family will be gathered around a giant sour cream cake with strawberries, drinking champagne and playong boules in the backyard.

    Birthday Me! It was just my birthday on the 8th, so I’m going to have to wait almost a full year to compile my wish list. One thing that I didn’t get this year, and I’m thinking of getting myself is this lovely guy – http://blackroosterdecor.com/collections/accessories/products/gnome-container Seriously – who doesn’t need a white ceramic gnome with a gold hat?

    BIRTHDAY ME!I told my boyfriend that the only thing I want for my birthday this year is for him to hand-make me two flower boxes for the front of our home. I told him even though my birthday is not until July 13th, he has a deadline to make the flower boxes and have them hung by May 10th. I can’t wait for my pretty flower boxes!

My birthday is Saturday and I’m getting all my presents early- new windows (to replace the originals from 1920ish), our house is going to be painted next week, I got a sewing machine fom Craigslist on Saturday, and my in laws are giving me their 5 year old he washer and dryer (and since we cloth diaper, that will definitely be a gift that keeps on giving).
