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!

    For my birthday this year, I would like to go skydiving. I have been meaning to try it for a while, and I really need to make it happen before it’s too late…

    the big 30 is approaching in a couple months. I guess the dream gift would be to travel somewhere, like to the ocean, (never seen it). But I will probably buy something more practical like the new sectional I’ve been eying.

    Birthday ME! I actually just celebrated my 31st birthday yesterday, March 17th! This year I spent it quietly at home, doing homework, so for next year, I would like to be finished my degree and maybe to receive the gift of a new job or new apartment? Some great change would be nice…but I’d also settle for Starbucks gift cards in any denomination.

    BIRTHDAY ME!!

    I actually really am not a fan of a big bday celebration – being the center of attention just stresses me out and makes me worry about other people have a good time. Also, my birthday usually falls around/on Thanksgiving, so I’m usually busy with family – which is awesome! This year I’m looking forward to a new baby niece or nephew (although my birthday wish would be niece!!) and a couple new baby second cousins (or cousins once removed? I can never remember how it works).

    PS that picture made me crack up out loud at work!

    BIRTHDAY ME! Happy Birthday, Sherry! A great giveaway. For my next birthday, I’d love to take a trip and visit my BFF in Portland, OR. With a birthday in February in the midwest, it’s always a dreary time of year. Spending time with her would be a blast. Also, last time I was in PDX, we stopped into the JA store downtown. Dreamy!
