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!…. for my next birthday I just want to have a healthy and happy newborn baby girl. I am due in 5 weeks and my birthday is not until June. As long as she is there, I will be one happy birthday girl.

    Birthday me!

    My birthday is in April — this year, I’ll be six months pregnant and spending a good chunk of the month traveling on assignment. So I think by the time my big day rolls around, I’ll be happy just chilling at home, catching up on sleep! (And getting in some garden time…if spring ever comes to the Northeast.)

    Happy birthday Sherry!!

    “Birthday me”. My wish would be to have as much family together as possible. Due to a job transfer we have been living apart for most of the year.

    I have a not-so-secret desire to have a surprise birthday party thrown for me. My birthday also falls within a busy time of year and, starting from childhood, I never had a big to-do. I am very ready for one!

    Birthday Me! Happy (early) Birthday, Sherry! My birthday was just last week and my husband, my sweet baby girl and I are getting ready to move into a house we just purchased! This gift card would be amazing to decorate our new home with! Oh and I did drop subtle hints about gifts I wanted- a bow ring, and some J.Crew goodies. I guess it worked because they magically appeared on my birthday!

    (First off, HOLY CRAP that’s an amazing picture! Sherry must have DIED.)

    For my birthday, I want to dance with friends. I don’t care if it’s in my bedroom, or on a beach, or in the middle of a street in Baltimore – I just want to be silly and celebrate being in my (almost) mid-30s with the people I love to be silly with the most.

    My birthday is this Friday! Happy birthday, Sherry! My husband and I have both taken the day off work. We have a 2-year-old, so we’re taking him to daycare and enjoying a leisurely breakfast out and a matinee of Oz The Great and Powerful. Some much-needed couple time that parents of toddlers don’t often get. :)

    This year on my birthday I would love to have a glass (or three) of wine to celebrate! We found out I was pregnant a few days before my birthday last year (which is right before Christmas) so my entire holiday season was spent feeling not-so-hot. Looking forward to letting loose a little this year and having a 4 month old around to celebrate his or her first Christmas :)

    I would like a bedroom redo for my birthday. Seems I always take care of every other room, and the master bedroom comes last. So that would be an awesome present…even if it was just a fresh coat of paint!
