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! For my birthday this year (I turned 28 in January) I requested movie passes and did a marathon of Les Mis, Lincoln, and Silver Linings playbook. My son is a month older than Clara and my husband hates movie theaters, so I haven’t seen a movie the proper way in three years. It was awesome to just sit in a quiet room eating junk food and not being interrupted to wipe a nose or a butt!

    Birthday me!

    I’d love to do a party with our friends. We had one in the works for my 30th in January, but my husband got laid off in November, so we pulled the plug on extra expenses for a while. He’s gainfully employed again so we can incorporate a little frivolous back into our lives again :)

    Birthday Me. For my next birthday I’d love to find out we’ve got another little baby on the way. Otherwise I could probably settle for a DIY sofa table for our living room. ( I know that these are 2 total different ideas but I’d be so either way)
