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 next birthday I want a place to live. We’re moving to another state at the beginning of July and aren’t sure if we are buying or renting when we get there. My birthday is 7/11. Did I mention I’ll be 33 weeks pregnant then too? :)

    BIRTHDAY ME. My birthday was last month and I has asked for a colorful new pillow (from a shop on Etsy). I scored lots of sweet gifts, but I’m still longing for the pillow. I think I could easily fall in love with one from Mr. Adler’s collection!

    BIRTHDAY ME! I already had my birthday, and it was great — night out with the husband and my brother/sister-in-law. That’s the only kind of thing I need these days.

    I love the picture! How funny and cool was Mr. Adler’s response!

    As an adult I can buy myself anything I really need, but what I would love (in September) is to have a real dinner date and movie with my husband. I adore my toddler, but Friday night at a family-friendly restaurant is not quite the same as a traditional date night. :)

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!

    Of course, I’d hold a tea party with my ceramic animals (a few owls, a deer and an elephant) while my centrepiece would be my ceramic food (some pears and an acorn). My guests would be my cute niece and my kitty cat. Both who think I’m crazy enough and wouldn’t question this little par-tay!

    Is it wrong also mentally thinking planning the music for the tea party?!
