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!

    With my birthday and my niece’s birthday coming up, I would love to receive this gift card so I can buy us both a nice gift. I’ve been eying up the elephant bank for her. I think it would look really cute in her nursery.

    BIRTHDAY ME!
    This year I turn 30 so I’m hoping to do something spectacular for my birthday. What, I don’t quite know yet. I usually ask my dad to build me something. For 28 he redid my master closet. For 29 he built something that I can’t quite remember. For 30 I think I’m going to ask to have a banquette built in my bay window.

    For my next birthday, I’m hoping for a miter saw and/or a nail gun. But I’m secretly hoping that they arrive well before then. I’m not really one for parties in my honor so I’m totally happy with some cake and a tasty adult beverage with just a couple people.
