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! My birthday wish is to go out to a restaurant for dinner and not have them sing me happy birthday. Being sung to in a restaurant makes me want to crawl under the table and hide.

    Birthday Me!! My birthday is in a few days and ALL I WANT is to sleep until I wake up naturally. Without toddlers, or dogs, or phones, or hungry tummies that need breakfast. And then, after I have risen and am fully refreshed, I would love to be ushered to the couch by my adoring family, where I will then take a nap. :)

    My birthday is in just a couple weeks and my fiance and I are taking a weekend trip to memphis, tn – I’m super excited, ESPECIALLY because I’ll finally get to see a real, live panda bear at the memphis zoo (I work at the saint louis zoo, and we don’t have pandas – major bummer!). So that’s all I want – some panda facetime :)
