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! My birthday is coming up (April 1st) and no I would not like any jokes for my birthday!

    This year I asked for gifts that in return give back – TOMs shoes and a 31Bits necklace.

    BIRTHDAY ME for my 31st birthday in September I feel like I shouldn’t ask for anything since my friends/family/boyfriend went ALL OUT for my 30th. That being said, twist my arm – I’d love to have the Jonathan Adler white ceramic fox because I have a Shiba Inu pup that looks like a – you guessed it – fox. No big party, just small with loved ones. And the fox. And I’m always happy when pistachio ice cream makes an appearance, obvi. XOXO Jenn

    For my birthday this year I would love to do a vineyard tour out east (I live on Long Island) with a group of friends. But I’d be happy with a cupcake and beach time with my boys (hubby, 18mo old son, and Oreo – our Rat Terrier).

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    Here’s my birthday list:
    1. Cook a big dinner for my extended family
    2. Have my house in good enough shape that we can have extended family over for said dinner.
    3. As a component of #2, I would LOVE a media cabinet that hides all our cables and wires … and my husband’s miraculous agreement to actually use it.
