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!

    First of all, JA’s pic is insane! How amazing that he did this!! I can just picture Sherry squealing! For my birthday I’m mad crushing on a gorg necklace from Etsy with turquoise and coral, special because they correlate with my kids birthstones. I want to gift it to my mom as well! Happy birthday Sherry!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I decided to get with a dream birthday. I’m not asking for this and most likely wouldn’t get it but, the weathers not great here (Sesttle), it’s Monday and the kids were…well let’s say not steller this morning. :) so my birthday that I want this year is a trip somewhere warm (not even that picky southern Cali, bahamas, Mexico, Hawaii whatever) beach or pool, my hubby, some fruity drinks and good salsa and chips. Time to relax and hang with my favoraite guy. Sounds nice…I’m relaxing already…
