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 always think the best gifts are spending time with my friends and family. Maybe over dinner or a drink.

    Birthday Me! I’m turning 30 in a few months, and I hope for an awesome trip to Vegas (I’ve never been!).

    The Hubster and I were just visiting Portland last week, and we found the Jonathan Adler store. One of the employees asked how I had heard about the store since it was so new, so I told her all about YHL!

    BIRTHDAY ME! I would to be hiking in the Dales with a picnic at the halfway point in a spot where there would only be me, my man and my dog. Plus some heather, some granite boulders and a huuuuuuuuuge sky. In all likelihood it would probably be raining but that would only make the sandwiches taste better!

    Birthday me! I’m not usually one to do anything special on my birthday because it always falls in the week my church does VBS. This year I’m turning 30, so I’ll probably celebrate the next week. Can’t turn 30 without some sort of party, right?
