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!

    One of these years…maybe a surprise party!! I’ve celebrated 35 birthdays so far, and while they’ve all been sweet and special and lovely, not ONE has included me walking into some secretly decorated place with all my friends and family waiting to jump out and scare me to death with a great big SURPRISE!!!

    Happy Birthday Sherry!! I hope you have a wonderfully, happy day!

    After I hit 3-0 I stopped feeling the need to have a big party and announce my age to everyone. These days the perfect birthday would just be a simple dinner out, a bottle of wine, and some flowers! (Oh and maybe a magic cleaning wand that I could wave and have a clean house!)

    Birthday me! I prefer having a day full of small sweet surprises – a yummy homemade (not by me) breakfast, cheerful “Happy birthday” texts all day, a fun note in my lunch bag, and a nice cozy dinner with my hubby and my family at my favorite restaurant. One big party is too much of a whirlwind for me!

    Also I was totally stunned by that pic of Jonathan Adler… I always forget how famous you guys are!! ;)
