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 just had my birthday last Friday, for next I wish it wasn’t as cold as it was. We’re still technically in Summer here in Argentina, but it felt like we skipped fall altogether and had about mid 50s that night. At least it gave us an excuse to have yummy, warm food for everyone. Yay!

    BIRTHDAY ME!! :) I’m not a big party person, so I’m looking forward to hanging with my husband and our baby girl (who is now just 2 months old!). We’re also looking to buy our first home, so I wouldn’t hate the idea of us being all moved in by my birthday (in June). This gift card would be perfect if we can find a house soon!

    This year, I’d like to have someone else bake me a birthday pie, instead of having to DIY it. I also now want a ceramic squirrel, because I really don’t see how I can exist without one.

    I’ve had my eye on an adorable yellow C&B bench for our back patio(and may have been dropping hints about it as an awesome bday gift), but I just figured out it’s for indoor use only. I guess I have to set my sights on something else!

    My husband never knows what to gift me for any event. (Nor does anyone in my family for that matter.) So I drafted a list of power tools I want that would double as bad-A gifts. I’m hoping he springs for the orbital sander with dustbag/filter first! Bliss!

    I would love love love for hubby to surprise me with anything that I want/need/love! (Usually I have to give him a specific list to pick from so the ‘surprise’ is limited to which item did he pick.) And ice cream is always a good bet! ;-)
