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 next birthday isn’t until the end of next January and by then I’ll have a nearly 3yo and a 6-7 month old. I think I’ll be game for anything that gets me some alone time or time alone with my husband.

    BIRTHDAY ME

    I love going out for dinner (or lunch, or drinks and dinner and never get around to the dinner part)with my friends and family for my birthday. This doesn’t mean that I have a huge get together, but I might go out with my college friends one night, my family another, my high school friends another, and my besties another. As I got older, I had the epiphany that if your birthday falls out on an inconvenient date (one year I had an organic chemistry final, another I took the LSAT’s), no problem, just reschedule. So instead of stressing everyone out to get together on the actual date of my birthday, we just find a nearby date that works well for everyone and celebrate then.
