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!

    My birthday is in just a few weeks. We just bought a house last month so I would love to receive anything to help spruce it up – new rugs, frames, clocks, lights… I’m also hoping for a trip to Disneyland! Hope to get one or the other, fingers crossed.

    Happy Birthday, Sherry! I recently turned 31, too (Feb 1st, baby) and I love me some birthday celebratin’. Usually I try to get some friends together for mexican food and bowling, but this year I shared a birthday week with my one year old nephew, so there was some more traditional cake-and-ice-cream action, along with some crying and napping.

    “BIRTHDAY ME”

    I just had my 32 birthday and my parents are giving me a gift I have wanted for years…my graduation present from 8 years ago! All kidding aside I am heading to Spain for 3 weeks, 1 with them for Holy week and 2 for a language course. All while spending time with my host family that I have not seen in 13 years!

    My birthday is in early October. Two years ago it was so warm here in Germany, we were able to have a picnic out in the park. This has never happened before. I enjoyed it so much. So the best gift would be a warm and sunny day to hang out outside in the sun again.
