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 have always wanted to be surprised with a get-away for my birthday… like “Ashley! Pack your bags! We’re getting on a plane in half an hour! I’ve called your boss and arranged for time off!”

    ::sigh:: Maybe someday…

    This past year my lovely bf sponsored an otter at a wildlife sanctuary for me and I loved it so much! Such a thoughtful gift. I definitely cried happy tears! So I’d say for the next birthday something similar would be the ticket to birthday bliss.

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday was last Friday and for my birthday, my Dad and I ripped out the ugliest bathroom in the universe and replaced it with a tidy board-and-batten room with a $700+ Kohler pedestal sink that I found at Habitat ReStore for FIFTY DOLLARS. Or as Sherry might say, DOLLAS. I can’t think of a better birthday than that, but winning would make next birthday nearly as awesome.

    I just had my Birthday, and my husband made me the most delicious cake I have ever tried in my entire life (and I have tried a lot of cake). It was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, and he used five bars of chocolate to make the thing. I hope he is up for the idea of making it every year!

    This year my birthday is on the first day of classes at a college where I was recently hired as an Assistant Professor. I hope I just make it through the day without making a fool of myself! I do love white ceramic animals though… I’ve even spray-painted a black ceramic owl white!
