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!

    OMG!
    BIRTHDAY ME!

    Since it’s MY birthday tomorrow too, I think that means that I pretty much need to win this contest.

    Plus I had to go to a funeral today, so this was the first chance I had to even check your site. The fact that there are over 9,000 comments yet still time/room for me to comment also means I should just automatically win. It’s like it’s meant to be.

    As far as my birthday goes, I’ll be happy to have a good day at work and make myself brownies for dessert.

    Birthday Me! How fitting considering my birthday is less than a month away! I have been snapping photos of things I love but wouldn’t buy myself to send as a little hint, hint to the hubby. One thing that has caught my eye is a cutie pie squirrel at Anthropologie that holds tape. Yes please. Oh and a bicycle with not so skinny tires. :) (Can y’all send this to my husband now? Hehehe)

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!!! Well happy birthday to Sherri. My birthday wish would be to see my son stationed in Alaska (army) who will be climbing Mount McKinley in May! So to watch my son descend from this mountain & give him the warmest, sunshiny hugs! I wasn’t there when my son returned from a year in Afghanistan so this would be a big gift for me to be there this time! Then I’d make him go shopping with me at a Jonathan Adler store & bask in the beauty of colors!!!!

    “BIRTHDAY ME” and of course Happy Birthday to Sherry. asked my husband to get me a massage voucher (not home-made) that I could use after my first ever triathlon. I sent him a link to a place in our new home town I had heard was pretty awesome and as he did not reply and just said “do people actually pay for one” when I mentioned it again I had no hope of it happening. I was pleasantly surprised although if it had been accompanied with a crazy image of the masseuse I might have thought otherwise lol. Good on Jonathan Adler for being a great sport.
