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 (exactly two months to go, not that I’m counting or anything), I wish to have a quite celebration with my dearest friends. Last year, I requested one good picture (everyone is smiling and eyes are all opened) of my friends, which I then framed and gave as gifts to my friends, I’d love another to put next to my picture from last year, hint, hint.

    I would like a baby for my birthday next year. But if I can’t have that, then I would love for a circular sander! It was one of the things this year that I didn’t check off my wish list.

    For my birthday, I’d like my boyfriend and all my friend to help me fix up our front garden. It’s a weedy little hill that looks especially sad next to our neighbor’s…they have a beautiful japanese maple and a little pond!

    Looking for an RVA project to help out with? ;) Happy birthday Sherry!

    BIRTHDAY ME! On my next birthday I hope I can have a BBQ at my house with a lot of my friends and family. I will enjoy us all hanging out with our kids since it seems to be rare that we get to spend time together. The only gifts I really wish for are for my house so I hope to get lots of gift cards.

    omggg…this is the giveaway I have been subconsciously hoping for my whole adult life. :) I will have had our second baby just a few weeks before my next birthday, so some time to myself to do whatever I’ve been especially missing during those first few crazy weeks would be perfect.

For my next birthday, I hope to celebrate with my closest girlfriends from college … Which I think just might be possible since one of them is getting married the same weekend so we’ll all be together, dressed up, and having a good time … celebrating the bride & groom mainly, of course, but me too, a little, I hope! :)

    BIRTHDAY ME

    This year I turn 30, less than two weeks after my second child’s due date. All I hope for is a shrunken waistline and a cold adult beverage. A party with friends would be nice, but let’s be real…having a 2 1/2 year old a newborn makes for tough party planning.

    BIRTHDAY ME, please please please! My birthday is on June 15th and I would enjoy a nice night in (or out) with my husband. I don’t really care what we do — I like when we just chillax together. I don’t really need a big party and all that jazz but I do want some peach pie (birthday pie, anyone? Who’s with me here?). I’d love the Jonathon Adler Whale Bookends or one of the ripple vases, *sigh*. Drool.
