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!

    I want to have my party this year at a place called Bounce-U. It is an indoor playground with giant inflatable slides and bounce houses. Or maybe a niece or nephew might have a party there. Fingers crossed!

    Birthday Me!! If I could plan a perfect birthday day, I’d love to go hot air ballooning with my husband and and kids and have sushi for dinner. I think a gift I’d love would be an upgrade of my blender to a Blendtec or Vitamix as I’ve been on a smoothie kick and my old ones just not cutting it anymore!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    My husband and I received a Jonathan Adler blanket for our wedding which we LOVE, but since it is white and green and snuggly and our cat is black and equally snuggly, it can only come out on special occasions. For my birthday, I’d actually LOVE a slightly darker colored Adler accessory :)
