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 coming up in a few weeks and I’m really not expecting anything. We just got a new freezer so I’m pretty sure that is partly my birthday present. Although I would like to not have to make dinner. :P

We’re just about to list our house and I’m six months pregnant, so winning this giveaway would give me SO MUCH JOY when it comes to outfitting the new place!

    This year, I’ve requested a replacement handheld citrus press. My cheap plastic on shattered in my hand at work, so I need another sturdy yellow metal press. Then I can keep one at home and one at work!

    On my next birthday, I just want to be able to spend time with my family. I don’t really like big parties, so hopefully one of those is not in my near future! I can’t think of anything I’ll want in particular.. Maybe a new lens for my camera? Cookies ‘n’ cream ice cream would be good, too!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My 28th birthday was last week- and I would LOVE a better-late-than-never Jonathan Adler gift! We are working on re-decorating our living room so that it can comfortably work as a guest bedroom (hello pull-out couch) and home office! (hello desk next to said couch). Our previous guest bedroom/home office is now a half finished nursery. :)
