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!
    For my next birthday, I’d like an afternoon tea with all my girlfriends, followed by a night out dancing. Oh, and coconut ice cream, since I can’t eat dairy anymore!

    BIRTHDAY ME! Well, I sort of made my own birthday wish come true (it was about a month ago)…I asked my family if they’d want to chip in and help me buy a Lulie Wallace painting because I LOVE her work and I don’t own any original artwork. So for the rest of my life I’ll always think of them as it’s hanging on my walls. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive. :)

    I always want flowers or a fun surprise for my birthday. I’d also love to move into the house we just bought by then! Fat chance though… we are doing some crazy DIY right now. Maybe it will be done enough to paint though! That would be fun!

    My next birthday is 3-1 too and given that I had a huge surprise party for my 30th, I will be happy just hanging with my love and my family and doing something low-key. But I wouldn’t say no to a repainted bicycle! ;) Happy Birthday, Sherry.
