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!

    I’m hooked on terrariums right now and would love one for my birthday. I would also like for all my pets to be healthy because so far we spent my last birthday and our 10th anniversary at the emergency vet.

    My birthday is at the end of the month, and I would love to spend a weekend away with friends, but since we live in four separate places across the country, I will settle on a slab of rich, chocolate cake!

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my birthday this year, I would like an english bulldog. Since I already share a small apartment with my husband and a boston terrier, I would be happy to “settle” for spending the day on a walk with the two of them, followed by ice cream. Moose tracks to be precise :)

    Birthday Me times two!
    It’s my birthday this week too! My twin sister is coming to Ottawa for our birthday, it’s the first birthday we will be together in 5 years. That’s the best birthday present ever. Otherwise, I would love a ceramic squirrel. You should check out the Scaredy Squirrel books by Melanie Watt. They are funny, I think you would all enjoy them! Humor for the adults and fun pictures for Clara. Happy birthday Sherry!
