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!

    And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHERRY!

    I’ve had some health thingies in the last years (ankle fracture, surgery, unfortunate bread knife accident, hand surgery … ), so I’d love it if this year I could have a birthday party where I am not bandaged up or grumpy with pain. And, considering the ankle situation, I’d love to be able to wear heels again!

    If I win and get a Jonathan Adler gift card, then of course all the above whining is redundant. Birthday in traction? Bring it. As long as I have a ceramic animal to cheer me up … :D

    My birthday was last week, and my husband was my ‘slave’ for the weekend LOL. He helped me patch walls and paint our 3yo’s room, cleaned the carpets, sanded a bed frame so I could paint it, and carried it up the stairs to her room :D

    For my next birthday, I would really like to celebrate at home with my family. My mom’s birthday is the day after mine and it would be so nice to be able to celebrate our birthdays together. Oh, and a carmel apple poundcake from my favorite bakery would be appreciated too.

    My boyfriend and I are currently renting and are seriously talking about buying a house very soon. For my birthday this past November, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and our one year anniversary (on St. Pat’s) I asked for our own house. I didn’t get it yet, but I think we’re going to the bank in a few weeks. Can’t wait!!!

    I’m turning 30 in April. I’m hoping there isn’t a party or a ton of people involved. I haven’t made a birthday wish list yet, but it will include small things like amazon gift cards for kindle books or iTunes for more music. Even just a dinner with our family of four would be amazing.
