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!
    It’s my birthday next week — here’s hoping of a return of the “When Would I Wear This” theme from last year, everyone has to wear one thing they already own but never wear, and love it but ask themselves “When would I wear this?” Outfits ranged from prom dresses to leather pants to (my own) silk jumpsuit!

    Birthday Me!! For my next birthday I would love to have all of our student loans paid off, which would really bring about another dream of staying home with my kids. Since that won’t happen, I’ll take a nice day with my family!

    Birthday Me! “Every day is a god, each day is a good, and holiness holds forth in time,” wrote Annie Dillard, one of my favorite writers (and someone with whom I share a birthday). Each year I find myself more grateful, more appreciative of friends and family, and each year on my birthday I make it a point to let others know how much I appreciate them. If it’s a day to celebrate my life, then I want others to know how deeply I value them.

    I love that pic. of Jonathan Adler.
    Mine is coming up at the end of March. I just look forward to seeing what my kids make/draw for me like those “mom” coupons they make. When I redeem the ‘Breakfast in bed’ one it’s never something edible, but fun!

    Happy birthday, Sherry! Fellow March-er.
