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 have no special requests for my birthday, but as soon as my birthday passes, I usually realize what I should have asked for, and go buy it myself.

    My next birthday is my 30th, and it’s coming up at the end of May. I can think of no better way to celebrate than spending time with my friends — as long as good food and a few cocktails are involved, it won’t matter what we do.

    I just turned 30 this month, and I asked my husband for a card shower. He solicited as many people as possible to send me birthday cards, and it was AWESOME. I love real mail, and it was so much fun getting so much of it! I think I got over 80 cards, ultimately. RECOMMEND!

    I want to go zip lining on my birthday this year! Screaming my head off in the treetops sounds like a blast to me! I’ll take a few friends along if they’re not going to be sissies about it–no crying allowed on my birthday! :)

    Of course, there will be red velvet cake as well (which apparently is a “seasonal cake” in NoVa where I’m from–but down here in Georgia it’s a year-round treat!).

    Best picture ever. For my birthday this year, I will have been a mom for approximately three months. So I’d probably like some sleep at that point. ;P
