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!

    I always look forward to the bday cards! Not the expensive fancy ones, but the ones that my kids hide in their rooms and make secretly (always a tear jerker for me!).

    P.S. I didn’t know you were so much older than me Sherry! Hope 31 treats you well….I won’t be there until June ;)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    My b-day (also 31!) is in just a couple of weeks and I’m getting what I wanted – to see Nick Cave in concert (4th row even!). But, speaking of ice cream, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if B&J made their Cannoli ice cream part of the regular lineup and not just “limited batch.” That stuff is CRACK.

    Today is actually my (29th) birthday, so my next will be the big 3-0. I honestly don’t know what my 30th will look like, but I am dreaming of a weeklong getaway in a beachfront cottage. Or a trip abroad…anyone wanna send me to England? Good luck everyone! :)
