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!

    For my birthday this year (also 31!) I’d really like my boyfriend to propose… Failing that, having my great friends around me with ice cream is perfect.

    Happy birthday Sherry!! Xxx

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday is actually next month so a Jonathan Adler shopping spree would be AMAZING!! My current birthday plans include going to the Calgary Comic Con and meeting Nathan Fillion (so excited)! On my wish list this year is a record player and some vinyl, because everything sounds better on vinyl. If I win this gift card, I’m going to listen to some records with my Jonathan Adler ceramic animals beside me as I hug my framed picture of Nathan Fillion and I :) Best Birthday EVER!

    Is it selfish that all I really want for my birthday is a weekend to myself? The husband, baby, and dog can all take a hike and leave for a couple days… that’s what dreams for introverts are made of.

    Birthday ME! It was my Birthday this month, on the 6th!! I keep asking for a new house, for some reason (we need to sell the one we are in now) my husband ignored my request! I would have settled for new gutters but he doesn’t believe in practical gifts….even if that is what I want, so I got a wonderful gift cert. to our local crafty boutique! LOVE!! So he did pretty good this year and you could make it better! LOL HINT, hint!!

    BIRTHDAY ME! I turn the BIG 3-0 this year, and my husband (who is six years older) laments that he’s been waiting a long time for this moment! LoL. I’ve asked my husband to keep an eye out for any fun DIY projects, and I’m hoping some old dresser or pallets will just magically turn up in my garage. Other than that, celebrating with a Big Dirty Thirty party with friends and family. And, yes, cake and ice cream will be mandatory.
