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!

Jonathan Adler Giveaway Moodboard

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Jonathan Adler
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BIRTHDAY ME” and tell us…

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 20th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

    Birthday Me!!!
    I do not celebrate birthdays (it’s a religious thing), so my hubby and I go all-out for our anniversaries every year. This year I am hoping for a new pot-and-pan set and new canvases/paint supplies!

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!

    I will also be 31 this year and I would LOOOOOVE to go see Luke Bryan in concert… but I’m also due to have a baby like a week later so my husband is slightly anxious about the idea of very pregnant me at a huge concert venue 100 miles from home.

    Wop wop. Guess I’ll just have to indulge in some $500 Jonathan Adler retail therapy instead!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    December 31st will be my 31st. I just want a trip to Nashville so I can tour the haunts of classic country music singers. My husband is not the classic country fan that I am, so I’ve had trouble thus far convincing him to come along.

    BIRTHDAY ME!…My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I still haven’t figured out what I want. I’d kind of like a white ceramic elephant bank, but I’m having trouble locating one that I like. I can’t think of much else I want/need, but I certainly wouldn’t turn down a day at the spa or a tasty chocolate cake!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I have been dropping hints for a pair of diamond solitaire earrings for a few years now. But mostly I’m spoiled and my request is quite specific and quite expensive.
    So, I’d just settle for more items for our new house we purchased at the end of February like lots of Lowe’s gift cards so I can get the demolition and fixer-uppering (Sherry might like that word!) started!!

    Love you guys and your fabulous blog! Thanks for so many wonderful ideas for all of us to emulate!
