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:
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 dream future birthday presents would always be a trip to a destination! In the past, I’ve always wanted items, things, whatever but now I would prefer just to travel. I went to Costa Rica last October for my birthday and I had such a wonderful time, I’ve decided I’ll always want to travel, especially since I live in such a sucky location!

BIRTHDAY ME!!!
I don’t have any desires for my birthday other than to celebrate a happy day with the people I love. HOWEVER, my husband and I are starting to plan our next move, to a place with 10ish acres where we can have a couple of horses. I would love it if the stars began to align for that plan. Oh, and this is a great giveaway to win! “Where’d you get that awesome ___________?”
Oh, I won a Jonathan Adler giveaway in honor of Sherry’s birthday and that’s an item that I chose. You know, because your family and my family are BFFs since we read your blog, and went to your book signing. Right…right?! Right. That’s right.

Sara D. says
BIRTHDAY ME! For my birthday this year, I just want to be waited on hand and foot. For instance, I want it to be completely acceptable to ask someone to walk across the room to hand me something that is 1 foot away, so I don’t have to lean too far to get it myself. Hand. And. Foot.
