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
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BIRTHDAY ME” and tell us…

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

    BIRTHDAY ME! For this birthday I think I’m going to ask for a juicer! I’ll probably be just as excited as the year I received a blender for Christmas! (I lead a thrilling life) ;)

    I just lost 15 lbs and to lose another 15 by my birthday in June would be fabulous.
    And a few new clothes after 3 kids would be the icing on the perverbial cake :)

    As much as I’d love a nice DLSR to take fancy photos of our newborn with, with a one month old in the house I would have to say a glass of wine and a full night’s sleep would make for the perfect birthday!

    For my next b-day in May (the Monday following Mother’s Day), we are surprising our kids with their first trip to Disneyland. I can’t think of a better way to spend my special days than spending time with my gremlins and hubby that bring me so much joy!

    I want one of those fancy single auger juicers. I was thisclose to buying one, but my juicer fund just got converted into a “fix the ABS brakes on my car” fund. Not so much fun, so the fund starts again. :)

    Birthday ME! My b-day was this past Friday (I share it with my sweet 12 yr old daughter Chloe!). My wonderful hubs gave me a “gift certificate” for a roadtrip to find a pair of mid century side tables that I’ve been scouring Craiglist for. He’ll drive wherever and stop at every antique store/interesting spot along the way! Yay roadtrip!

    BIRTHDAY ME! I want my next birthday to be just like my last one. I cooked lots of yummy Italian food & convinced the other half to buy me amazing red velvet cake, and then proceeded to spend the evening with friends in my lovely London garden drinking & eating. And hopefully, just like last year, we’ll avoid the standard London rain and it’ll be a beautiful summer evening!

    This year I wish for the Gardner Supply Company’s Worm Factory. It’s a compact and highly efficient worm composting system that you can keep in your house! We have a really tiny urban backyard with lots of sun. Not the ideal composting environment. We also hate paying for good dirt.
    Happy birthday Sherri!
