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!

    My fantasy birthday gift would be a week long cycling tour of Australian wineries with my honey. This year we are landscaping the new yard at the new house though, and I’d be pretty thrilled with a Japanese maple or a peach tree!

    For my birthday (it was a week ago) I wanted a murder mystery party. It. was. awesome. I was really bossy because I wanted everyone to be in character and pretend to be mobsters, but lucky for me, everyone got really into it (i think the punch had something to do with it). So after a few flickering lights and oscar err razzies worthy special effects, the mystery was solved. Def. give it a try sometime!

    Birthday Me! My birthday (thirty-cough years young) was yesterday on St Patrick’s Day. My in-laws threw me a lovely party and every gift I got was something I wanted desperately (including your book and Ana White’s). I love Jonathan Adler, but his stuff is so pricey! Happy birthday to Sherry! I hope her big day is filled with love and joy.

    Birthday me! I would be very happy to have a day off work, sunny weather, good food and a relaxing and fun get together with my fab friends and family. Sometimes people are reluctant to have a birthday party as they get older. I think it’s all the more reason for one :)
