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 would be awesome if all my kids were able to be home with me, and I got a big, fresh from the oven, batch of home-made chocolate chip cookies!

    I haven’t had a party in a few years, so having a small but fun get together sounds pretty good! But as long as I have cake, I’m a happy girl.

    BIRTHDAY ME! It’s a zero-ending year for me this year – my twin and I talked about turning 50 in the 50th state, so perhaps we’ll do family vacations in Hawaii (or just talk about it a lot, more likely).

    BIRTHDAY ME

    For my next birthday, I hope that my boyfriend will finally propose (it’s been five years, common already!) and I’ll be able to celebrate with my family and friends. This would really beat my last birthday where I had to leave my own party early because I had the stomach flu :(

    Birthday me! Apparently I’m turning 8 years old because I really want a new bicycle. A good one that can actually pull a trailer with a 50 pound kid in it. Not a hipster one with plants or wine bottles attached.
