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 :)

    Hmmmm… I tend to shy from too much attention and so birthday parties or events in my honour always embarrassed me to some degree. Hah! So… I am perfectly content with the day going by with maybe a small acknowledgement from my parents this year (last year they forgot)!

    Birthday Me!
    We just bought our first house as a family and I’m so excited to get to work refacing our entire place. Just like you guys we bought it although color scheme and some things need to be changed or replaced we still love it because we get to make it our own. Love all the great DIY ideas you all share. With a little DIY and Jonathan Adler my house could possibly be as great as yours someday. Thanks again for sharing all the perfect tips and tricks to a wonderful color savy home!

    BIRTHDAY ME! I don’t need anything in particular for my birthday–I’d just love to spend a happy, quiet day with my beloved husband and kids. Somehow I always get roped into some giant high-stress work project right around my birthday, and I’m hoping to avoid that this year.

    This year my birthday is the same weekend as my bachelorette party, so I guess my main wish is that I am not forced to wear my underwear outside of my pants, sing Bon Jovi in front of a crowd of strangers, or take pictures with skeevy looking men wearing jorts.

    Birthday me! On my next birthday (which isn’t for a while…) I would really love to celebrate it with one of those giant cookie cakes. I look at them longingly every time I’m at the grocery store and always think of what a great birthday cake they would be. Here’s hoping that next year will be the year of the cookie cake! :)
