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!

    This year for my birthday (Dec. 27th) I hope that my husband and I are far enough along in our own home improvements so that we feel more comfortable expanding our family with our first non-furry child!! What better bday present than to announce to our family that we are expecting?

    BIRTHDAY ME! My next one is 39. Which sounds so close to 40 I’m trying to not be depressed. I’m trying to decide if I should throw me a party then or for 40, but one way or the other, I’m doing a party to have friends and food near-by. And no gift, just time to hang out. Maybe I’ll do it for both! :)

    My birthday is in a couple of weeks, and I would LOVE to have a new job by then. Here’s hoping that the interview goes well! And who knows…if it doesn’t, hopefully I win this so I have a zoo of ceramic animals to comfort me.

    Every birthday as far back as I can remember, I’ve wanted to travel to celebrate. Sometimes its a short trip 2 hrs away, sometimes its 2 long flights away. Either way it makes me happy :)

    This year I am not asking for anything in particular. By the time my b-day comes around in November, it will be 6 months until my wedding so I have a feeling I won’t be super concerned about gifts as I’ll be waist deep in planning. Ahh!

BTW, how dreamy are Jonathan Adler’s animals – I want them all!!! And that goodness for someone else who loves needlepoint and knows that can go modern!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My husband and I both turn the big 3-0 in September, and a lot of our friends also have fall birthdays, so we have been semi-planning (more like just brainstorming at this point) a 1920’s themed group thirtieth birthday party…entitled “Leaving the 20’s Behind” or something like that. In our heads this is going to be a BIG shindig, but we’ll see what actually happens as the year goes on!
