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!

    My birthday was a month ago and I was very happy to find a blazer I had wanted to buy (but did not because it was so expensive) on the sale rack.
    Wonderful “present” for me!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    My birthday is around a holiday so I prefer to stay home to avoid the traffic. My husband and kids are great about doing the cooking and cleaning, etc. It also helps that I proclaim my birthday as a “birthday week” so I get to call the shots all week. ;)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I would love a birthday party! As a Christmas baby, it is hard to plan a birthday party around all the holiday parties, office parties, travel to see family, and New Years, so I haven’t had a proper birthday party since I was in elementary school.

    That picture is awesome. What a good sport.
    For my next birthday I would really like to take a quick trip down to Cali and spend the WHOLE DAY on the beach, reading, sleeping, and playing. It is my most favorite of things to do in the whole world.

    BIRTHDAY ME! I would love a beach party! I’m from Puerto Rico so i grew up with birthdays on the beach but now that i’m in Maryland, a February birthday is not as fun! Miami next year, perhaps?

    On another note, I have a secret wish of adding some Jonathan Adler vases and other cool trinkets to my future wedding registry :). Don’t know if my friends/family will splurge for those items, but I would LOVE it! A girl can dream, right?

    Last year I got exactly what I asked for when a few days prior our foster daughter was placed with us. The best gift I could receive this year would be finalization on her adoption into our family for forever. But it would also be great to win some awesome Jonathan Adler swag!

    Thanks for the great contest!
