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:
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!

Always love something thoughtful, no matter what it is.
Michele says
BIRTHDAY ME!!!
My best friend surprised me in January with the news that she is due to have a baby 3 days before my Birthday, so I hope (although it may be torturous for her) that the baby is 3 days late and born on MY special day. And yes, while I’m a LEO who celebrates for the whole month of AUGUST, I’m willing to share MY day with this little angel! Can’t wait to meet you little Cammy! And Happy Birthday Sherri!!
Sam M. says
Birthday Me, I’d use this as a down payment on a Rex Ray original.
Jenny says
BIRTHDAY ME!
For my birthday last month my sweet husband stole me away for a weekend… we left the kids with grandparents. It was perfect! :)
Julia says

Birthday me! As far as I’m concerned, an ice cream cake is enough to make any birthday perfect!
Krista S. says
Birthday me!
I would just like it to be warm enough to sit outside in the sunshine. (Currently experiencing a Minnesota blizzard and dreaming of May…)
Lindsey says
Birthday Me!
I would love to be in a new home by my next birthday so that I can stop worrying “is this paint color good for resale value?” and do whatever pleases me in the next home!
Erin says
BIRTHDAY ME!
I share a birthday with my husband (same day, but 4 years apart!) So I’ll be wishing for some fun time with family, a sweet card from my husband, and maybe some money to spend on something for the garden.
Britta says
Birthday me!
I hope to enjoy a night out with my hubby and little boy!
Amanda says
BIRTHDAY ME!
I would love to have a home to decorate for Christmas next year (yes, my birthday is on Christmas)! I recently sold my home of six years after getting it all fixed up and am now staying with family while I wait for life to settle down a bit (new job, new boyfriend, assisting the grandparents with their move to a senior apartment…). I wonder if Jonathan Adler makes a miniature dachshund ceramic animal as mine didn’t make it through the move… :)
Julie L says
Birthday Me!
I’ve always wanted a surprise party… but it’s not really a surprise when you request it, is it?
Sarah Chermely says
Birthday Me!
I hope to get Philosophy “True Grace” bath products! Happy Birthday!
Charlotte says
Birthday me!
As long as I don’t have pneumonia like I did for my last birthday, I’ll be happy!
Jennifer says
BIRTHDAY ME… My birthday is not until August, so a relaxing day at the beach sounds great right now, since it’s snowing outside.
Aurora S says
BIRTHDAY ME!
Hey, so no lie, my 30th birthday was a week ago, and I spent part of it with my husband petting couches in various shops. I did the most heavy petting at Jonathan Adler – I can’t get enough of their lovely silhouettes with fun upholstery. They were ‘the ones’ but I was a little gun shy – the price was just out of my range. If I won this, it would be the perfect excuse to start celebrating my 31st birthday 11 months early!!
Dana says
BIRTHDAY ME!!!
Flowers and time with my husband and baby girl=birthday perfection. If there’s the budget for more, a little bling never hurts. ;-)
Dana says
…and HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERRY! :)
Ashley A says

Toni says
BIRTHDAY ME! My 55th birthday is a week from tomorrow! Just hoping my hubby and I can spend a nice evening together and maybe get a new pair of earrings. And I really would like a sweet ceramic animal to go in my newly re-decorated living room. My floating shelf looks empty!

Birthday me!
I’m turning the quarter cent this time around, so it seems only appropriate to dial the clock back… to 1925! Champagne en coupe, fringe, and gratuitous beading, your time is now.
Marta says

I’m hoping to go to Vegas for my next birthday because I will be turning 21 =)

BIRTHDAY ME! I would like to be someplace warm and tropical and not in the snow for my next December birthday.
Julia says
BIRTHDAY ME!! A bookcase. A giant bookcase, for all the books my live-in boyfriend doesn’t know I own yet… (they’re still packed in moving boxes/at my ‘rents’ place.) So I guess this would be a birthday present to myself. :)
Happy birthday, Sherry!!
Heidi says
Birthday Me! I look forward to my daughter helping me blow out the candles on my cake. She adopts everyone’s birthday as her own now :)

BIRTHDAY ME
