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!

    Happy birthday, Sherry! For my 30th this summer, I’m hoping to have a chill day by participating in America’s pastime and rooting for the Albuquerque Isotopes.

    We do not celebrate birthday’s in our family but we do special surprise parties and gifts for each other throughout the year. My wish for my next surprise is a puppy to join our family. (I hope my husband is getting the hints :)

    My birthday is this week too! We are going on a ski trip that has been planned for months, but I can’t ski b/c I am pregnant and pretty bummed about it. (To be clear I am bummed about the lack of skiing not the pregnancy!) But winning this would totally make up for it!

    BIRTHDAY ME! A new pony! Haha no seriously, I think for every birthday and Christmas since I was like 5 I’ve asked for a pony. I’ll be 32 in October. Probably not getting one again this year, but I guess a ceramic pony would do just fine!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    My birthday falls around Labor Day each year and I’ve always spent the day with my parents attending the same local event. (The tickets are my gift each year.) I look forward to it all year long and think my dad is more excited about it than I am! I’ll be 28 this year and still can’t think of anything I’d rather do on my birthday.

    For my next birthday, I really, REALLY want closet doors. We’ve been living in our house for almost two years now, without closet doors. Our cats pull my clothes off of my hangers and make nests out of my clean clothes. It’s pretty sad.

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my next birthday I’m hoping for an overnight excursion with my husband. At that point, we will have a two-year-old and it will have been 2+ years since we’ve done anything just the two of us (with no family nearby, we don’t even get dinners out with just the two of us). I’d love a close-ish location so we can spend time RELAXING, not traveling. Maybe some spa action, a very quiet setting (toddlers are LOUD) and really, really, REALLY good food.

    I eat sushi on my bday. I eat so much I get “sushi drunk,” meaning that my pants are right and my stomach is hugely full of rice. I eat in moderation 99% of the time, and I normally limit my sushi intake (who can afford it 24/7?), but not on my birthday!

    BIRTHDAY ME!! My birthday is the 25th and I would just be happy with a day completely to myself to do whatever I want. I have a long list of things I would like to get done around the house and I would be ecstatic if I could cross the majority of those off in a day. I’m not sure how realistic this is but I can dream.
