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 love a gathering of friends and family, not so much to celebrate me but celebrating each other. A birthday is always a great reason.
    I drop hints, hints, hints, did I mention drop hints? I even send a wish list to my hubby just in case he’s stuck.

    birthday me! I actually hope to find myself on some sort of beach on my next birthday, although chances are slim… in the absence of a beach I’d probably be content with some new artwork for our apartment. note to self: compile wishlist and store so that hubby will find it. :-)

    BIRTHDAY ME ! My birthday is not for a while but I already know I’ll be happy with some true (TRUE) free time and a little bit of warm weather. Not sure which one is more wishful thinking :)

    PS I’d just like to express how awesome it is that Jonathan Adler was on board with the silly grin + ceramic animals idea! That cracked me up.
