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! For my next birthday, I hope to take a day off from work and spend it doing whatever comes to mind. That and my favorite cake (marble with raspberry filling and white chocolate ganache) would make for a perfect day.

    Happy Birthday, Sherry! Hope 31 is great!

    My birthday is in less than a month, and there isn’t anything in particular that I really want. But I sure would love that Jonathan Adler gift card so I can get the “No Wire Hangers” pillow :)

    In addition to having the JA Meurice cocktail table in my living room in my new house- I’d like to spend my bday at the beach. My birthday is in August and I live in RI so this isn’t too far fetched of a wish. Fingers crossed!!

    Birthday me!

    I’m turning 30 this year, and, uh, I may be having something of a hard time with it. So to make this birthday memorable (in a non-depressing way), my husband and parents have been conspiring to take me to San Francisco! I’ll finally get to visit Hearst Castle! And Alcatraz! And the Golden Gate Bridge! Squee!

    My best friend have a habit of buying each other ceramic animals and bestowing them upon each other at random times. No birthday required!

    This year I think I want to go see a game of AFL (Australian Football League- google it!) and maybe some ugg boots because our winter is coming.

    I want to have a swanky backyard cocktail party for my birthday this year. Last year we had to cancel; air quality was too low to be outside because of the wildfires in the area (Colorado Springs). I’d love to make up for it this year.

    Happy birthday Sherry!

    Birthday me!

    I celebrated the big 3-0 a few weeks ago, and my husband surprised me with a private plane ride around the northern part of Okinawa (where we live… we’re in the military). After recovering from the slight panic attack I had after learning we’d be getting on a little plane, I loved it! And we survived, so that was a double bonus :)
