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! All I want for my next birthday is plants and flowers for the front yard. It’s time for me to start worrying about curb appeal.

    Birthday Me!

    Today is my mom’s birthday and my due date. My wish is for my baby girl to come on out and meet the world. Plus it would be so cool, if she shared a birthday with her grandma. If that doesn’t happen, figuring out how to decorate my house with Jonathan Adler, will keep me distracted until her arrival.

    Birthday me!

    On my next birthday, I will have been living for about 6 months in a new city halfway across the country. My biggest hope is that I’ll have lots of new local friends to celebrate with, but that I get a visit or two from my “back-home” friends and family as well.

    Sherry, it’s my birthday tomorrow, too! The BIG 3-0! AHH! I am having dinner with a bunch of friends, and I hope a chocolate-chip (with chocolate syrup added) milkshake is in my future… along with a $500 Jonathan Adler gift card. That would just make it an even more perfect 30th birthday! Happy Birthday! :)
