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”

    I don’t know what I want for my birthday, but I guess I’d better figure it out because it’s on Wednesday! I was just glad that I’d be getting out of work a bit earlier than normal and will be able to hang out with my daughter before she goes to bed. That NEVER happens on a Wednesday!

    I am hoping that the tradition of me getting a Grasshopper Pie as my birthday ‘cake’, which was resurrected last year for my 40th, gets continued!!!

    But seriously – did Sherry lose her mind when she saw that her birthday wish came true?

    Birthday Me! Happy birthday Sherrie! I love birthdays- especially mine- but I am a notorious procrastinator so don’t always plan ahead enough to do something that spectacular- My birthday is in Feb and this year we were actually in Richmond- my husband needed to be down there for work- so some Maymont, the Children’s museum, eating out and some fab chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting that I made when we got home were all nice “surprises”. Next year the only thing i know for sure is that I want more of that pb frosting!
