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!

    My whole life I have wanted a pool party for my birthday… Having a late May birthday and living the first 30 years of my life in the Southern Hemisphere didn’t really allow for that, now I am living in the Northern Hemisphere in a place where it is always cold and my birthday falls smack bang on school holidays so everything is 10 times more expensive… One day I WILL get my dream :o)

    Happy Birthday for tomorrow Sherry xx

    BIRTHDAY ME! I’m hoping a piano tuner walks into my door for my next birthday. Our poor piano hasn’t been tuned since my parents bought it when I was in 2nd grade. I’ve been hinting for years, though, and it still hasn’t happened, so I’m not holding my breath. But I have received some pretty awesome gifts from my husband through the years, so I can’t be too upset. :)

    what’s something you wish to do or receive on your next birthday?
    I would like to go water skiing. My birthday’s in July!

    Are you hoping there will be a big party with all of your friends?
    Yes, but I don’t think all of my friends would travel the distance!

    Is there a particular gift you’ll be dropping hints about?
    Yes, but if I just drop hints He won’t pick them up. I have to be pretty straight forward if I want something specific.

    Or will you just be happy if your favorite flavor of ice cream makes an appearance?
    I’m more of a smoothie person!

    For my birthday, I would like to have some time off work, and hang out outside. Maybe going to the beach, camping, or taking a trip to Catalina Island.

    But ice cream would be ok with me too.
