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!

    I just celebrated my 25th birthday, so my next one’s a long way off. I’m just happy to see my family and friends and have a good time. I’ve always wanted to rent a bouncy castle for my birthday, but January isn’t really conducive to that…

    Happy early birthday Sherry!!

    I’ve been lusting after one (or perhaps several) of those Jonathan Adler monogram pillows for a WHILE.

    I’m doing my first triathlon two days after my next birthday (the triathlon is my birthday present to myself) and on my birthday I’d just like to be healthy and ready to race!

    Oh, and the baby’s dresser (and bookshelf…and installed ledges…) are already covered in wooden and ceramic animals. We create obsessions early in our family.

    “BIRTHDAY ME”

    My birthday this year falls on Thanksgiving Eve…so my wish is for a turkey filled day-after-my-birthday with all my family around. Oh, and a personal serenade from Elton John would be cool too! He was supposed to be here for a concert last Friday but had to cancel for health reasons and there is no reschedule for us, boo-hoo. I hope he is up and around and feeling better soon.

    BIRTHDAY ME! I’m due to have our 2nd baby 2 months before my 30th birthday this year so I’m hoping for a day to spend with my hubby and 2 little ones and maybe a manicure and bubble bath to end the day. But by then, I’ll probably be ecstatic to get 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
