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 boyfriend and I have a favorite restaurant we like to go to in Boston and we haven’t been in awhile so hopefully we can do that! My parents and I also have a tradition of making the birthday boy or girl a Duncan Hines yellow cake with chocolate frosting, we will always love that cake well before any fancy gourmet bakery cake.

    “BIRTHDAY ME”

    I would love to book group trapeze lessons or a gym with a huge foam pit. Whatever happens I just want to be with my boyfriend, my best friends, and I want to star gaze (my birthday falls during the Perseid Meteor Shower).

    My next birthday is pretty far away (next February) and I am a pretty practical person, so I am not quite sure what I am going to want. What I want right now is for my nursery chair to be reupholstered! Hopefully it won’t take a year for that to happen because the baby came on Thursday!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday falls on or around Labor Day, so I’m happiest when I can spend it with my family, preferably watching the annual air show from my parents’ boat.

    Happy birthday, Sherry! (My little sister has the same birthday as you and is turning 21!)
