Fab Freebie: City Love

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

This week’s TWO lucky winners are… Maria G (who loves Kansas City despite being under 12-15″ of snow at the moment) and Fiona (who loves her hometown of Washington DC so much she even loves the traffic). Congrats you two!

Today marks the seven year anniversary of our move to Richmond, VA. Woo hoo! It’s crazy to think that it has been that long, and to celebrate this week’s giveaway is from a city-minded artist: Kimberly of Albie Designs. We’ve had her charming illustration of New York City hanging in our hallway o’ frames for as long as there has been a frame collection there (my sister bought it for Sherry for her birthday a few years back). And now Kimberly has released a Richmond city print. So whether you want her new RVA work of art, or others from around the country (and even the globe) you’ll get your pick thanks to the $100 gift card that she’s offering up to two lucky winners.

      I love Blacksburg, VA! I guess not really a city, technically :) , but it is the town where my husband and I met in college!

    I LOVE NOLA! I’ve only been a couple of times, but with my BFF. The architecture is beautiful, the tragedy haunting, the food, divine.

    I love Brilon!

    I’ve never been to Germany–never even left the country–but this summer I will get to meet my lover’s family after a quick skip and a hop across the Atlantic. (I promise, Mama, I didn’t pick him for an excuse to fly to Europe!)

      I love Chicago…it’s got everything! Big city with a small town feel. And the lakefront and snowy winters and amazing summers. Midwest is best :)

    I LOVE VANCOUVER, BC! It is where my husband and I lived when our three year old was born. We’re back on the east coast but it will always have a special place in my heart.

    I LOVE NEW YORK!
    I know it’s predictable, but I absolutely love that city. The energy, the insanity, Broadway, and the endless possibilities. I love it all.

    I love Pittsburgh! My husband and I met there, and I actually bought him Kimberly’s Pittsburgh print last year for our anniversary.

    I LOVE DALLAS!

    Normally I wouldn’t say that, but I’ve grown up around the area and recently gone on a few 5Ks around the city that have made me appreciate it much more. The weather is usually nice too! :)

    I LOVE PORTLAND [MAINE]!

    While we don’t live there anymore (we’re Richmonders now!), I will always have a soft spot for Portland. It’s where my husband and I got married and bought our first house, and it’s a really, really awesome little city with great food, great architecture, a wonderful working waterfront, and lots of day trips within a short drive. Visit, if you haven’t been!

    I LOVE BOSTON, MA! I was born in Boston, NY and was “reborn” (I feel like I was able to grow into myself” when I went to Boston, MA for college. I moved away for a couple of years for work, but am excited that I will be moving back there in a few months for another “rebirth” (I’m going to school for interior design!).

    I LOVE LONG BEACH, CA!!! I was born here, but raised in STOCKBRIDGE, GA (LOTS OF LOVE HERE TOO!)…and moved to California right after high school. It’s where I made so many memories and I’m so proud that I’ve come so far (from living with roommates, to now living on my own at the brink of finally Graduating from my Master’s Program.

    I just love Long Beach and everyone I’ve met living here that’s had a huge impact on me personally and professionally :-)

    I love Charlotte!

    It’s got it all…big city feel but still pretty small, close to mountains and the beach, nice Southern people, and great weather. Oh! And the fact that all of my family is here. ;)

    I love Venice, Italy! I spent a summer there working for their Environment Department. It was one of the most amazing times in my life. Mangia Mangia!

    I LOVE NEW YORK

    I’ve only spent 10 days there, but it was the best 10 days ever! I loved everything about NYC and it was such a dream come true. I can’t wait to go back!

    I LOVE Austin & Boston & not just because they rhyme. I spent my entire childhood living just outside Boston and it’s always felt like home. Austin, though, is the one city that I’d consider moving to (if it wasn’t so darn hot)!

    I LOVE Florence, Italy! I fell in love with it during a trip throughout Italy a couple years ago and it is definitely my favorite Italian city.

    I LOVE NARRAGANSETT, RI!

    I grew up in RI, and even though I didn’t grow up in ‘Gansett, we did spend a LOT of time at the beach when I was little. Then, when I went to college at URI, I had the good fortune of essentially living ON the beach for several years. It’s quaint, it’s laid back, and it feels like home.

    I LOVE DALLAS
    but I might pick Miami for my fiance since that’s where he grew up and where his family still lives. It would be neat to have both cities displayed in our home!

    I LOVE NYC! Been here almost 10 years, still madly in love. So much art & culture! So many fabulous people! Ok, so the housing is small & overpriced; you can’t have everything :D

    I love Brooklyn, my home for the past six years, but I would love a Richmond print to remind me of the city I grew up in!
