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… I’ll be turning 30 on my next birthday so I’m throwing a huge “roaring out of the 20’s” themed party. Complete with flapper dresses, pearls, and cocktails.

    Birthday Me! I already know that I will get what I want for my birthday in June because my husband will be home! He is in the military and he is usually off somewhere doing some training every summer. This year he is going away in the Fall. Plus, unlike last year, my birthday won’t fall on Father’s Day. No offense to Dad, but we each need our own day.

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday is Tax Deadline so feel free to make a charitable donation to the government in my honor. I saw a giant metal chicken in desolate West Texas while driving across the statelast week and that is what I want for my birthday. It is only 500 miles from my house and roughly 8 feet tall but a girl can dream!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    My birthday is in July so I’ve still got some time. However, since having my second baby girl in November combined with my sweet two year old, I’m pretty sure my birthday wish will be similar to my current wish – a dinner prepared by someone else and eaten before 9:00 pm coupled with 5-6 hrs of continuous sleep :-) It’s the simple things…
