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!

    Something no one can give me, but I can wish for is some spring weather up in here! We received a lovely snow storm this morning here in Minneapolis and my birthday is mid-May. So we better be all done with this weather by then.

    But on a gift note, I’d love a portrait lens for my camera!

    Birthday me! My birthday is just days before Christmas, so I was never able to have a birthday party on my birthday growing up because it was always over winter break and we were usually always traveling on my actual birthday anyway to visit family. Any birthday that I can spend not on an airplane or in a car for the majority of the day is a good birthday to me!

    My 31st birthday is in December, and I think I’d like a trip to my local IKEA (I do this most years). I love going there, enjoying a 99-cent breakfast and wandering around looking at fake apartments with my husband and toddler. Oh, and I’d also like an ice cream at the end of the trip.
    Happy Birthday Sherry!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday is always right before Thanksgiving, so I know it is a busy time for family and friends. I don’t need (or want) big birthday parties, especially as I will see my family just a few days later. For my next birthday, I would love a massage or a new camera. Or just quiet time. Probably quiet time with the hubby wins out over that other stuff.

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday was just last month (the big 3-0!) but life conspired to throw me a major curveball right then, so for the big 3-1 (ha) I’d like to be free of health concerns, eating delicious food, surrounded by my favorite people. And a ceramic animal or two.
