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!

    For my next day of birth, I will be 30 years old (womp womp womp). I would love to take a trip with my girlfriends some place where the red wine and cheese flow like the Mississippi (Portland, Seattle, and Napa all sound heavenly).

    I always have a whole wishlist full of things I want for my birthday… I don’t think I should get started on that now, since I have about 5 more months to go! Honestly I’m usually satisfied by going to a fancy dinner with my wonderful husband. :)

    I don’t like the attention of a birthday party, and I buy myself whatever gifts I need. So I have no particular wishes other than to not look too much older.

    Birthday Me! I will be 30 in a few months, and I hope to go to Vegas (I’ve never been!). I’m pumped about this giveaway, because the Hubster and I were just visiting Portland and found the Jonathan Adler store. The employee was curious as to how I had heard about the store since it was so new to Portland, and I got to tell her about YHL!

    BIRTHDAY ME
    My birthday is in June and every year we go to a local amusement park called Knoebel’s. I’m very excited to go this year with my 2 year old as in year’s past, he’s been too young to partake in and enjoy much. I hope to ride the grand carousel, yell “choo choo” while on the train, and eat apple chips with whipped cream, caramel, and nuts.
