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!

    It’s my birthday on Thursday, and I’d love to eat out and have some homemade funfetti cake…once you taste real buttercream frosting there’s no going back…

    BIRTHDAY ME! I was very into gifts growing up, and of course I would never turn one down. But more so now, I love to spend my birthday with the people that I care about. A night of playing cards (and drinking some wine) with my friends and seeing my nephew would be a fantastic gift! My how I have grown up :)

    Birthday ME!

    The night before my birthday the birthday fairy would get a baby sitter, so I could have a romantic dinner with my man, maybe a few beers, and stroll hand in hand. The next morning, I would SLEEP IN. As late as humanly possible (so for a mom, what would that be? 9 am?) Breakfast would be mimosas.

    Then we would pick up my little man from the baby sitter, and spend they day all three of us together doing something outside… maybe head to the park and rent a row boat. Picnic lunch. Sounds perfect. :)

    BIRTHDAY ME

    My birthday was just this past week, so instead of thinking forward one year, I will talk about what just happened. I really wanted curtains for a house we are buying, but I didn’t have the measurements and nothing stood out to me while I was shopping, so instead I got a nest thermostat and lots of picture frames. I’m really stoked about that. I love going out to dinner with friends on my birthday, and this year was no different. We headed out to the local sushi joint and had a great time.

    For my birthday I would really like to have an actual party at my house. We are now living in a single family home with a pool and a great deck. It would be nice to spend the day/evening with our friends and family, just hanging out, doing a little grilling and a little swimming.
