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! I would love for my husband to plan a special date for my birthday. He usually sucks when it comes to birthdays. Even dinner and a movie would be fine with me as long as HE’S the one planning everything and not me. We’ll know come June 1 whether or not my wish is coming true!

    Birthday me!

    I always secretly want a surprise birthday party and I’ll be 31 on my next one and doubt it’ll happen. So I go for the next best…being with my close friends and family. This one (31) will be tough for me because it’s the same age my older brother was when he passed away in 2011 from cancer. Sooo… it’s kind of a toughy. But I’ll still go with being with those close to me and enjoying my almost 8 month old baby bell at that time (eeks, I’ll be huge!)
