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!

    My birthday is coming up in April and I usually buy my own presents because I’m fussy and I buy things that are difficult for others to procure. Which sounds scary, but just means I buy a lot of yarn and wish someone would pay for a yarn subscription for me.

    Birthday me! My birthday is over Labor Day, and I’d love it if my husband could somehow sneak cupcakes into our planned kayak trip and cabin stay. That would be awesome! Otherwise, I’d like to catch a salmon and eat it on my birthday (we’re in Alaska).

    BIRTHDAY ME!
    I am the worst birthday present getter ever. I don’t really like surprises, have strong opinions about what I like, and am very cheap. This results in me having a nice ongoing list of presents I’d like, complete with online links to them, which drives my more creative husband nuts. Thank goodness my family is on my side :) Oh, and I’d like a new bathing suit (Garnet Hill retro ruched one piece, if you need to know)

    Funny enough, I just thought about what I wanted for my birthday, which is in October (quite a ways away if you think about it), but I really want tickets to the St. Louis Speakers’ Series which includes international leaders, a former senator, and the co-founder of Apple. Anyways, happy birthday to Sherry!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I am approaching my big 3-0, and as a gift my husband is giving me a trip to Chicken Camp – which sounds REALLY weird! I’m not into chickens (I’m a dog trainer), but Bob Bailey is offering an amazing seminar on operant conditioning, back in the US for the first time in over a decade. I can’t wait to go! Maybe I can get a ceramic chicken….
