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!

    Happy Birthday Sherry!!

    I’ve recently lost 37 lbs and am looking to lose another 34 so for my birthday I would really enjoy a reasonable size of Birthday Cake!! shared with close friends and family :o) LOL
    A gift certificate to Johnathon Adler would go nicely with one for a shopping adventure for clothes which would complete the celebration!
    Thanks also for making this giveaway open worldwide!!
    Enjoy the day!

    My birthday is in about a month and I’ve been hinting to my husband that a pair of purple Hunter boots would be super awesome. I also hope that he lets my daughter get me whatever she thinks I’d like, because last year I got a big kickball and a hula hoop from her and it was the best.

    My best birthday gift ever was my 30th and I dont think it could be topped. The hubby threw me a surprise 70’s roller disco party with all my friends. He even bought me an amazing 70’s outfit to wear as my bday gift. Everyone wore massive ‘fros and we took over the skating rink :) Thinking of a bunch of 30-somethings with a bunch of 4-10yr olds out on the skating rink still makes me smile
