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!!!

    On my next birthday, I hope to not be in labor. I’m due with my first child the day after my birthday, so if LO could wait a day to come, that would be fine and dandy.

    For Birthday 2014, we will be doing a roller skating party. That’s what I wanted to do this year, but pregnancy and roller skating don’t mix.

    BIRTHDAY ME… I would love to have a family party, because my last two birthdays have been overshadowed by sad events. I just want to celebrate with the people that I love!

    Also, I have been dying for a Jonathan Adler bull figurine for about three years, because Taurus is my astrological sign. I would be so excited to win this!

    I just have to say that I love that you guys got Jonathan Adler to do this. HILARIOUS!

    We don’t do big stuff for our birthdays at our house, but my husband always finds a way to make it special – a nice dinner at home, or some trinket.

    I think this year I’m going to try to convince him to do a short vacation to change it up.

    Happy birthday, Sherry!

    BIRTHDAY ME…
    My 32nd birthday was last Friday and we tried to take a road trip to the Texas hill country with our 10 month old daughter – to say it was a disaster would be an understatement, ha! I think 2/3rds of our little family was in tears at any given moment. :) Anyhoo, my birthday wish would be for another attempt at the road trip, probably sans baby. (Does that make me a bad mom???) :)
