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 would love that foxy fox or that awesome swirly red frame. For my birthday I would love to spend it with my friends and my fella and maybe get a FitBit that I’ve had my eye on. Unfortunately there won’t be any ice cream on my special day…I’ve given up sweets for the year (my New Year’s Resolution), but I may ‘treat’ myself by going skydiving for the first time!

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my next birthday I will be on an archaeological excavation in Portugal, trying to make sure that a bunch of teenagers don’t hurt themselves with pick axes or go swimming in the local wine. Having a ceramic animal to hug in the archaeology lab would be a great escape!
