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’ve been “hinting” (aka flat out saying) to my husband that I want to get family pictures done for mother’s day or my birthday (my 30th). I’m always the one taking the pictures and I’d like to get a nice one of at least me and my boys!

    BIRTHDAY ME! With my *30th* birthday just over a month away, all I would like to do is go out to dinner at my favorite restaurant, Highland Kitchen, with my little family – including our will be 6 month old daughter Tessa. I wouldn’t mind the pink cupcake charm from Tiffany & Co. for my charm bracelet either, but just spending time with my husband and baby will be the best! #blessed

    I want to spend my birthday in a pool or on a beach, with a frou-frou cocktail in hand and a stack of celebrity gossip rags to page through!

    Oh and I want you guys to have a happy anniversary… since my birthday is on 7/7. ;) (Does the randomizer recognize blatant kissing up!?)
