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 happy if I get to just spend my birthday with my hubby relaxing since his military service has him away so often (in the last 9 years last year was the only birthday we’ve been able to spend together). That’s all I need. Although I wouldn’t say no to a new camera ;-)

    Birthday Me! For my birthday next year, I would love to have a shopping spree for myself, money spent only at places like anthropologie, West Elm, or JCrew instead of Children’s Place or Target! Although, I would probably feel too guilty and find a way to spend the money on kiddos anyway. :) I will settle for another, never dull, home improvement project!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My 30th birthday is in November. I’ve been dropping hints to my husband that I want a surprise party since I’ve never had one. I guess the surprise will be if he actually figures out my hints!

    Birthday me!

    My birthday falls during finals week again this year, so I want what I always want: A’s =). But actually, by the time I get around to celebrating it, I’m so happy to be done with the semester that I don’t even care about presents (although some of those ceramic animals would be nice!).

    My 31st is next month, and I’m taking a long-overdue trip back to New York City to visit friends. I lived there for three years right out of college, and it’s been WAY too long since I’ve been back. I can’t wait!

    I just had my 30th and my husband took me away to stay a night in the city so I could ignore the fact that I was turning 30 per my request. Next year I’d like a party – a crawfish boil I think.

    Birthday Me! Today is my birthday and to celebrate I did something new and got a manicure today (and it snowed today on my b-day for the first time in a looong time). Next year I hope to be celebrating my birthday with something new – my first ceramic animal (preferably a squirrel since I’m a bit nuts)! :)
