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 just went by and it was a very bad time for me…so a friend of mine decided we would have a wicked half birthday party this summer seeing I will likely be feeling much more up to partying. Not sure what we will do yet but it will likely included a BBQ and a camp fire!

    On my 25th birthday, which is in 6 months, I would want nothing more than a trip with me & my honey! Newly married, I feel like life just moves too fast not to take a break and get some air! However, if he gets me a new camera lens, I’d probably be happy with that too :P

    OMG I’m so excited. When I first saw that little zebra tray on your blog I went to the site to order one and was so happy it was only twenty something dollars, except shipping it to Canada made it over $100 :( #emptycart

    For my next birthday I would love just a big fat gift card to a home store where I can go shopping for stuff for my home (maybe West Elm?)! And of course a house full of my fav people having a good ‘ol night out! :)

    BIRTHDAY ME

    I turn twenty-six in a couple of weeks (2?, wow!) and all I really want is to have a great little soiree at my house with some friends. twenty-five was the year of the quarter-life crisis, where I decided to quit my full-time job and go back to school for interior design. I make the move and start that dream in under 3 months, so I am hoping that just a great night at home, enjoying some homemade appetizers and how I have designed my current apartment!

    Thanks for the opportunity and happy birthday!
