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 think the best birthdays are ones spent with family and friends. A gift from my husband that I didn’t have to choose or buy myself would be nice too. ;)

    My birthday is the day before Easter so for the first time since I was in high school I will actually be celebrating my birthday with my family, in my hometown and having my favorite homemade birthday cake. I am pretty excited about it.

    Birthday me!

    My birthday is always right around Thanksgiving so it has always been my favorite holiday. A nice, delicious turkey is all I require with some yummy crispy skin to fight over with my sister (it’s a tradition). I’m not very picky about presents and my husband is usually pretty good about surprising me with something I was not expecting. Always a good time!

    BIRTHDAY ME- I laughed when I saw that you mentioned ice cream because I’ve been talking about having my next birthday party at this amazing ice cream parlor by my apartment called Ample Hills Creamery. Best ice cream you’ll ever have. After 11pm they make exceptions for grown-up birthday parties!

    My birthday is in 12 days and I have been dropping hints about new running/workout shoes for awhile. When did they get so cute and colorful!? I feel so boring at the gym with my mostly white tennies! ;)

    This year my husband and I will be going to FL for my spring break , cheering the MN Twins on in Ft. Myers, FL against the Boston Red Sox….followed by a few wonderful days in Naples. I can’t wait to be away from all of this snow! Brrr!

    Birthday Me! I am just happy that the next one comes around each year. My husbands birthday is 3 weeks before mine and one of my daughter’s birthday is the day before mine so it’s great fun when we have a huge party of our kid’s friends and ours with all the food and beverages you can imagine. It’s even more fun when everyone stays at the house with air mattresses in every room, all beds full….a house full of happy people.
