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! For my upcoming birthday, I do not want a party – I just want my very own Sara Lee French-style cheesecake for my b’day dinner. It’d be my extra special treat that I don’t have to share with anyone! :)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    Actually, my birthday was eleven days ago (yes, I just counted), and I had to cancel my party because I got sick in the morning. Boooh!

    So, I’d actually just wish to have a do-over of my current(ish) birthday. A giftcard for some fun accessories would make an awesome present for that!

    “BIRTHDAY ME” :) I absolutely HEART <3 birthdays!!! I tend to celebrate for the whole entire month, if possible. A couple of years ago, I spent my birthday learning to fly trapeze with my sister. This year, I hope I can do something equally awesome. I've already got my first backpacking trip in the works. I've already been dropping present hints, but will be totally happy just to be surrounded by loved ones! Happy birthday, Sherry!
