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:
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!
My b-day is in two weeks!! March 29th!
Ever since I moved to the US (I am from Spain), I do a three-day celebration that helps with the homesick feeling. One day is for an event (concert, show), another day is the official dinner party and the next one is either chill recovery, cool random activity (i.e. fairy door scavenger hunt) or family (chat) time.
Kelly says
BIRTHDAY ME! I want an ice cream cake. Because they are my favorite.
