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!

    For my next birthday I want to have a costume party with games and possibly a blues/fusion dance to wind up the night. The last costume party I had was Hero and Villain themed and I highly recommend it. No how to top it?!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday is kinda on one of the worst days of the year–January 2nd. The day after a huge celebration, the first day most people are starting to get back to a normal routine after the holidays and it’s dead smack in the middle of winter. My greatest wish for any of my birthdays is to wake up on a warm beach in Key West and just have tropical drinks all day while soaking up the sun and Key Lime Pie.

    Happy Birthday Sherry! I just turned 31 earlier this year.

    Love, love….lurve Jonathan Adler! This next birthday will be my 25th. I’d love just a quiet, low-key get away with my husband. I’m thinking a night in a B&B in our hometown or a short trip to a mountain cabin.

    Oh and happy birthday Sherry!
