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!

    I actually just celebrated my birthday last week, and it was wonderful! I went on a long-overdue weekend trip armed with my best girlfriends and orders from my guy to buy a pretty dress from Anthropologie.

    For my next birthday I would love to get the dairy and gluten-free cook books by Lauren Lopez “These Treats Don’t Suck” and “This Food is Good” because I hear they are hilarious and they might inspire me to be healthier…and cook.

    My birthday is June 24th! I’ll be 24 on the 24th. I’d really love to turn a smaller dresser into a nightstand for extra storage for my birthday. It’s a gift I’d love to receive and be able to accessorize it to give it that grown up girl look. I’m hoping to just go out to my favorite Hotlanta Mexican spot and enjoy cheese dip with my friends!!

    I told my husband yesterday I wanted $20 of game credits for Clash of Clans so I could build 3 new builder huts, which I’m certain makes me an epic dork. It’s my birthday though, so dork on I guess.

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my birthday, I’d love to get free reign to buy new appliances for the kitchen. Ours are old and inherited from the previous owners of our homes, so since day 1, I’ve dreamed of purchasing brand, spankin’ new ones for us to break in. :)

    For my next birthday I’d love to just take a small family vacation. Since my daughter was born we haven’t really done anything, so it’d be nice to get away. She’ll be almost 2 this summer, so it’d be perfect.

    My birthday is also this week! Happy birthday Sherry! I’m asking for a pizza stone and pizza peel because I love making homemade pizza and want to up my game. Also a crazy good umbrella, because I can’t take the repeated embarrassment of mine blowing inside out.

    This year is my big 30th birthday and it’s only a few days before my one year anniversary so it’s going to be special. I’ve been hoping for a ruby (my birthstone) stacking ring from my favorite jewelry artist, but a JA ceramic shark sculpture would rock my world!!
