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!

    I know this is going to make me sound like a total loner, but for my birthday this year I’d really like a proper birthday party. With cake…and ice cream…and maybe make everyone wear silly hats. I moved around a lot growing up, and didn’t usually have good enough friends to throw a party. The few I do remember, however, either got rained out or were total fiascos.

    Sure, dinner with my family is fine, and my husband always goes all out…but it’s not the same as having a whole party, just for you. I figure that, since I’m turning 30 this year, it should be something to celebrate with friends, eating great food, and having lots of fun.

    Ceramic animal gifts encouraged, but not required. ;-)

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday is in October and this year I just want to celebrate with my husband and our new baby (who will be around one month old!). I think that’s the plan for his birthday in December, come to think of it. :)

    I’d really like it if some ceramic animals could help us celebrate, too.

    P.S. Happy birthday, Sherry!
