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! I’m one year shy of my golden birthday, so for next years (my golden), I’d like to go to Vegas and see the cirque de soleil! But for this year, I’d love to get the day off work (it falls on a Thursday), sleep in, breakfast in bed, go to the beach, and see a firework show! That would be awesome!

    Birthday Me! I am absolutely dying over this giveaway. This is my most favorite giveaway ever!!! I would die to own one thing made by Jonathan Adler.

    For my 31st birthday there is only one very special gift that I want and that is for my husband and I to have our very first happy, healthy baby (who conveniently loves the JA as much as me, you and Sherry does!).

    For my 32nd birthday my wish is to be at the lake cabin my family rents. Last year I missed celebrating my birthday because we closed on our first home together on my birthday and we were tied up with moving and getting settled. So this year I wish for sun, water and a big slice of key lime pie!

    My 29th (yikes) birthday will be here in two weeks (double yikes), and since my husband and I bought our first house a little more than 6 months ago, all I was hoping for was a new curtain rod! Haha, but what I am getting is tickets to a theater show, which is 10 times better than what I was hoping for :P. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sherry :)
