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!

    My birthday is next month and I’d love it if my family all chipped in and got me two pendant lights to replace the ones over our bar with. I’ve been staring at two ugly ones since we moved in so it’d be nice to see them go away in time for our one year housiversary!

    BIRTHDAY ME! Every year my birthday falls a week after an event that my favorite band (Hanson) organizes in their hometown for fans, so my mom always flies me out there and we do the concert and other activities together. (Incidentally, it’s also the week before Mother’s Day, so I can give her gifts as well.)

    I would love to pretend that the new Jonathan Adler store in my neighborhood is really my home and throw a swanky Birthday party there. I would definitely wear a Kaftan and have a martini in my hand. When anybody complimented my beautiful couch I would just say, “oh, this old thing?!”. Now that’s the life!

    For my next birthday, I hope to spend it lounging happily on my new Jonathan Adler sofa, paid for in part by the $500 gift card I won last year from Young House Love. HINT HINT! Thank you in advance for making my birthday wish come true! ;) Just kidding!*

    *I’m not really kidding. I’m crossing all my fingers and toes on this one.

    Where Sherry will be just starting her 30’s, I will be celebrating my final year of my 30’s this year.

    I am manifesting a sweet little picnic with all my favorite people at the beach enjoying cupcakes and Jeni’s icecream! As far as presents go, I am sure a little wish list will make its way into my sweet hubby’s hands!
