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 to skip all birthdays! I’m happy to be 31 and would like to stay here for another 10 years, or at least until it’s obvious I’m not 31. Then I’ll be 37 for another 10 years…

    Birthday Me! I’ll be turning 33 this year and wish to have a Jesus party (I’m all about thematic party!) so I wish that everyone dresses like Jesus or someone in the Bible and that we recreate the last diner and take a picture (sorry for my bad English, I’m better in French :))
    Thanks for this great opportunity. I loooove Jonathan Adler!

    For the past 2 years we’ve made it a tradition to take our boys to the local Aquatic Center on my birthday. It’s actually something we do often anyway in the summer, but I love the excuse to go an extra time! And, ice cream is a must-have birthday treat!

    This year for my birthday I would love to spend it with my family. This most likely won’t be possible as we live two provinces away but a fun facetime session would work too :) I have a twin sister and in the past ten years we have only been together once on our birthday. I always hope to be with her but unfortunately it just doesn’t work out. Talking to her that day is all I need :)
