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!

    I’ll be turning 30 on June 1st! I mean… turning 20-10. I love anything and everything from Jonathan Adler. I’ve never had a surprise birthday party and I could really go for one (as cheesy as it sounds). I guess I should drop some hints…

We’ve begun the search to buy our very first house together and I can’t wait to get the chance to make it our own space!!!

    I love the furniture at Jonathan Adler. Bond Desk, when will you be mine?

    2013 is a year of change… for me anyway. By my birthday in June, I am looking for a few changes, including updates in my house! Bathroom lighting got an update during spring break. Moving the refrigerator is next!

    My birthday actually just past for this year so I have a long way to wait for the next one. Instead I will be looking towards my significant other’s birthday in July as it will be the first birthday we celebrate as a married couple… yikes 18 days! So I look forward to spoiling him as my new husband!
