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!

Jonathan Adler Giveaway Moodboard

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Jonathan Adler

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 20th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

    Birthday me!
    My dream is to have a Pinterest party and invite my crafty homies to come eat delicious dips (my favorite food group) and drinks. Then we get our craft on. I must make this dream a reality!

    BIRTHDAY ME (too!). :)

    Happy Birthday, S!

    That picture, btw, made me just about die with laughter. Adorable!

    For my birthday this year, I want some fashionable rain gear. It’s winter in New Zealand in July (that’s when it’s my birthday), and for the last few years I’ve had wet head, wet feet, and wet every where when I walk to work in the rain, which is pretty much every day.

    I want a london fog rain coat and hunter boots and I’m going to buy lothlorian wool socks (they are a wool and possum fur blend and they are super warm and soft and not-itchy. if you want some I”ll send you a pair. But I don’t recommend that you wear them in July in Virginia).

    Anyway, I need some fabric to do up my son’s new room (he wants his own), and I’d love something from this crew because it’s so wonderfully cheerful, graphic, and fun. We’re doing a very industrial-styled space for the kiddo (oddly, that’s HIS style. yes, he’s 4.5 and has a style.), but I think some great fabric to curtain off his captain’s bed (which will function both for warmth (because houses in NZ are not insulated) as well as a quiet hiding place for him will work wonders for his little soul. Yes, I think it would go well.

    And I probably will need $500 worth of fabric, so do pick me. ;)

    …honestly, I’m getting to the point where I’m not really that into celebrating my birthday. Maybe it’s because I’m a complete introvert but I’ve had three surprise parties? If I get to pick out somewhere yummy to go for dinner, I’m usually pretty happy.
