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!

Jonathan Adler Giveaway Moodboard

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Jonathan Adler

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 20th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

    Happy birthday, btw! What a great way to celebrate!
    For my next birthday, I want to move into a new(-to-me) house! We’re house shopping right now, so I hope in the next few months we can find something that we can personalize and enjoy for at least the next five years! :)

    “BIRTHDAY ME”

    Every year, I’m frankly just satisfied as long as my husband remembered to buy my card BEFORE my actual birthday so that he doesn’t have to take time away from me to go buy it.

    My husband’s family always celebrates birthdays with a specific kind of cake from a bakery near where he grew up (about three hours away), so I’m looking forward to that – along with just getting to spend the day with friends and family. =)

    Happy early birthday, Sherry!!

    I’m pretty sure no one else is going to say this… my son’s 14th birthday is today. You know what he asked for?… He wants a picture of his brain. That’s right. lol He had to under go a long MRI last year. So, he asked for a picture. We had a block of 4 pictures (2 of a top, sliced view of his brain and 2 of his profile) and actually framed it. Along with some baseball tickets… my boy is getting a framed pic of his brain. haha

    I’d like to not be sick on my birthday for once! Every year, since I was a kid, I’ve always had an ick on my birthday. Being that it’s late in January, I get it, but it’d be nice to be not icky. At least once. :)
    Or my husband could make me a cheesecake. I’d be down with that too. Even if I was sick!

    My birthday was March 1, and it was the.worst.birthday.ever. (for several reasons without getting all kinds of TMI).
    For my next birthday, I hope for a quiet, uneventful day of celebrating with family and friends. And with white ceramic animals. ;)
