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! I don’t know about my next birthday (it’s almost a year away), but my husband turns 31 in a few weeks, and we will close on our first house two days before! So, I will hope birthday celebrations and moving go smoothly!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    This year I’m just hoping for a birthday free of hospitals, surgeries and funerals! Three years ago my husband’s aunt and grandmother died that week. Two years ago my newborn was in the pediatric intensive care unit, and one year ago my 3-year-old was having major spinal surgery the next day. This year I just want to go out and have a nice dinner!

    Birthday Me! – I celebrated my 31st bday on Feb. 13th. My husband asked me what I wanted, and I had two requets: One: The YoungHouseLove book and a trip to meet y’all in Atlanta, and Two: A few session with a personal trainer. The kid came through on both. Although, he makes me promise that I won’t ever use the personal trainer gift against him, since I requested it.
