***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 SEATTLE!! My family spent 5 years in three different neighborhoods of Seattle, and we loved each one for different reasons! Great food, great people, great approach to living, great Goodwills (been to the one in the Macklemore video!), and we had our first baby there…the best memories. We moved to Indiana to be close to family about 7 months ago, and I miss Seattle dearly…would LOVE a print of that beautiful city!

Annalea says
I LOVE SANDPOINT! (It’s in Idaho.)
It’s just one of the loveliest little towns I’ve ever seen, and the skiing and lake honestly can’t be beat. Add to that the small-town, friendly feel, and it’s a wonderful spot, especially in the summertime.
betsy says
I LOVE MILWAUKEE!
I like the people there :)
Ali says
I love Sydney! I’ve lived here my whole life and I’ve never gotten tired of this city. The weather is almost always good, gorgeous beaches, and the fact that all my favorite people live here is pretty good too. There’s nothing like flying in from overseas and seeing the Sydney skyline to welcome you home.

I LOVE BRUGES, BELGIUM! I went there for the first time last Fall and fell in love with the architecture, the people, the shops, and (the real reason I went) the beer! So imagine my surprise when I saw that Albie designs actually has an illustration of it!
Lynette says
PHILLY!! As they say above…
Jessica G says
I LOVE NEW ORLEANS! We fell in love there and came back years later for our destination wedding. The food, music and culture can’t be beat!
Bridget says
I LOVE HAMILTON (Ontario, Canada). It’s a great size: big enough to have lots to do, but small enough to feel like you can know the whole thing. It’s been sort of overlooked for the last fifty years or so too, which means it’s got some great old buildings and lots of hidden gems (people, shops, festivals).
Lara says
I love Dallas! I love it because I live here with my favorite person – my husband.
Susie says
I LOVE BOSTON! Grew up in and currently live in Maine, but Boston is special because I lived there for 12 years and had a blast. I don’t think I could ever move back, but it holds a special place in my heart.

Sarah Jane says
I Love San Fran! I heart it!
Stacey says
I LOVE NEW YORK! It’s the place I’ve lived in the longest, currently on Long Island. There’s nothing more magical than New York City to me. There’s never a lack amazing things to see, great shopping and any type of food I can dream of – and have delivered at 2am. LOVE New York during Christmas time the most, it’s like the entire city gets all fancied up and ready to entertain.
