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!!!

    We dont celebrate the “grown up” birthdays here in our family very extravagantly… often on my wishlist is some sort of investment for my closet, like a new pair of boots… but java chip ice cream by starbucks is. ALWAYS. WELCOME. :)

    This year is my 30th, still not sure how I feel about it! But I am hoping for a bike to ride alongside the one I got for my husband (with a seat for our daughter) for his birthday.

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I’m a single mum of three and we’re in the process of moving from our itty-bitty two bedroom to a (WOOT WOOT!) three bedroom! It’s been a long time of saving. So, on my birthday in February, the offer for the house was officially accepted and I celebrated by… packing. Womp womp.

    Birthday me! Sherry and I are half-birthday twins (my birthday is September 19, so when she has a b-day, I have a half-b-day, and vice versa). I’m hoping for a low-key celebration with my husband and dearest friends this fall – dinner, drinks, and lots of laughter.
