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’ll probably be devoted to planning our son’s first birthday which is four days later. But I’d like to have some Norman Love chocolates. They’re the best. And maybe a weekend getaway.

    BIRTHDAY ME! Starting last year (my 30th), I decided to make it easy for my husband. Birthday? Holiday? Get me See’s Chocolates. That’s all I require. I live in NY and See’s isn’t sold around here, but it’s my favorite chocolate. An assorted box of chocolates shipped in from CA, and I’m a happy girl.

    Birthday Me! My birthday is July 4th, so I am pretty lucky that everyone gets together to celebrate… typically that makes me happier than a slinky on an escalator! In unrealistic gifts, I would love a new car because mine is falling a part and a boyfriend! ;) Happy birthday, Sherry!
