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!

    You guys, today (March 18) is my ACTUAL birthday! Since we’re doing a total house makeover these days while entertaining a 3 year old and being 5 months pregnant, I am asking for a date night and a good night’s sleep, please.

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    On my next birthday I’d love to hang out with my husband and take a mini-road trip. My birthday is in October, so we’d drive somewhere with a scenic route to see the changing trees. We’d stop in a quaint little town and spend the day eating delicious food/walking around/window shopping.

    Birthday Me!

    I’ll be moving not long before my birthday back to my beloved Washington State, so this year I will be able to spend my birthday with my amazing sisters. Its about that time we hope the paperwork will be completed to foster and then eventually adopting a little girl, so that is really all I need, because family totally rocks! This would be a fun giveaway to win though because, in order to move, I am giving away a lot of stuff and massively downsizing. This way I would be able to start adding to my decor again after the move!
