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!

    Oh boy, my birthday is a ways off, but shopping sprees are always at the top of my birthday wish list. There’s also a certain rug from Urban Outfitters, and a certain duvet cover from Pottery Barn…. A girl can dream right?

    I would DIE for the chance to see Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge in Seattle, WA. I grew up there and have listened to DMB most of my life. His Gorge concert is always the weekend before my birthday and it would just make me giddy to go. Seriously. IS MY HUSBAND READING THIS?!

    Fingers crossed for the Jonathan Adler shopping spree.. that would probably make my year too!

    If I got knocked up this month I could have a brand new baby in my arms on my next birthday. That would be the very best thing in the whole wide world. Next best would be if I were pregnant on my next birthday. Big as a house with swollen feet and back pain, GIVE IT TO ME.

    on my next birthday, i would LOVE a fancy new camera. :) and definitely a party! as far as gift hints go, since the camera is too pricey, anything rollerderby will do. a new helmet, perhaps? “If only I had better protection for my head, maybe I’d remember my own birthday…” bahaha

    BIRTHDAY ME! That picture is pretty much the best thing, ever. I love it when people don’t take themselves too seriously :) I always look forward to my free Baskin Robbins scoop of ice cream and free Starbucks drink…and free Burgerville $5 credit to spend on food during my birthday-month. After all, one shouldn’t have to limit oneself to a mere “birth day” when “birthday month” is an option :)
