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!

  • 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! This year’s birthday is the big 4-0 and while I don’t normally celebrate birthdays in any extravagant manner, I feel like this time around I should. So a weekend trip down (from Canada) to a beautiful spa in Napa with my childhood besties is in the works, Yaaayyyyy!

    Birthday me!

    Last Wednesday was my birthday and I was away teaching in Portland OR. My brother, as a surprise, showed up at the teaching venue with a couple of boxes of beeyooootiful cupcakes. His making like the cupcake fairy made my day!! Plus I bought myself a gorgeous teal leather briefcase at the airport in Seattle on the way home.

    “BIRTHDAY ME” … Both my husband and my son know that I’m dreaming of a 1966 ford pickup, but even if it doesn’t happen, I love that they continually point them out to me while we’re driving around or surfing online — “How about THAT one, mom!?”

    They’re thinking of me :-)

    BIRTHDAY ME! I just had a birthday on the 4th, so it’s hard to look ahead to the next one (with will be my 31st!) but for my 30th instead of asking for a gift from my husband, we decided to use the allotted “birthday money” to throw a big birthday bash instead. It was a great way to spend my birthday and I hope to do the same next year!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I’m looking forward to finally getting a Le Creuset dutch oven for my May birthday this year, after selecting a $100 Amazon gift card as our Verizon Fios self-installation reward when we moved recently & getting other gift card credits to Amazon through friends & Swagbucks. I’m hoping when all is said & done I’ll be getting a 7 & 1/4 Dutch oven for less than $100 of “my own money”.

    Beef Bourguignon is the first on my list of recipes to try! I’m so excited :)
