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!! My birthday is in a couple of weeks and I’ve been hinting to my husband about a pair of Kendra Scott earrings I’ve been drooling over!! As much as I love Kendra Scott, I think Jonathan Adler would be even more amazing :)

    Also, please tell me that is a picture of the actual Jonathan Adler with ceramic animals? Because that would make MY day, too.

    BIRTHDAY ME…for my next birthday, I can only hope to take the day off work and spend it all with my husband and two children…breakfast together, then a hike with a picnic lunch, then dinner at either our favorite Thai or Indian place. Maybe the kids will even make cards/pictures for me (they’ll be 4 and 2 by the time my big day rolls around). Can’t imagine anything better!

    Birthday me! On my birthday this year, I will have just started business school in a new city where I don’t know anyone. The only things I really want are favorable student loan interest rates (yikes! and unrealistic), to have made enough friends that one or two people might consider joining me for a glass of birthday champagne, and something to spruce up my new studio apartment with its breathtaking view of…the building next door.

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!

    Happy Birthday Sherry “)

    For my birthday, which isn’t until August, I would love a family vacation. The first family vacation for three for us. Our daughter will have just turned one and it would mean the world to me to take her to see and feel the ocean. Her prior trip she was just a bun in the oven, so she may have heard it, but she has yet to see or feel it.
