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!

    Every year my partner and I plan a “surprise day” for each others’ birthdays. Literally every minute of the day is a surprise and its especially planned so we do only things the birthday gal/guy loves. For my next birthday, I’m hoping we eat brunch at one of my favorite local spots, then maybe enjoy some kayaking on Lake Washington. But as long as we’re together, that’s all I need! :)

    I recently had my birthday and it was low key but great. I got lots of love from family and friends and it made me very happy. One thing I would really love is a nap uninterrupted by my 3 little kids!!! :)

    Hi Sherry and John,
    My birthday happens to fall on Easter this year, and after finding your blog a few weeks ago, and reading every post available, (yes, I have had too much time on my hands) I hinted to my boyfriend that I would LOVE to receive your book for my birthday. Sure enough, yesterday close friends of ours came for brunch and decided to give me the gift early, so I wouldn’t go out and buy it ;) Less than 12 hours and I have read most of it!! You guys are sooo creative! Love it! And cannot wait to start working on al those fun little DIY’s. Cheers Jen
