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!

    What a fun giveaway. Thank you!

    My birthday is a few days before Christmas so it’s always hard to get my friends together (bc of holiday parties, weather, etc.). It would be awesome to be able to celebrate with everyone!

    Wow, this has got to be the best giveaway yet!

    Seeing as I’ve been living in Europe away for my family while I attend grad school, the best birthday present I could get would be a visit from my sister and mother. And, you know, a few goodies from Jonathan Adler would only make things better. Before I forget… BIRTHDAY ME!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday will now forever fall one day after the anniversary of my husband losing a teaching job he had had for almost twenty-five years. Talk about taking the celebration away. A shopping spree like the one you are giving away would certainly put the happy back in Happy Birthday!
