***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 BALTIMORE!!!
We’re from Maryland and moved to Philly a few years ago and wanted to get back to BMore sooner rather than later. Well, we bought a house in Federal Hill and love it. Baltimore has fantastic neighborhoods with great neighbors. It really is a great city.
Allison says
I LOVE DC! Beautiful scenery, great museums, restaurants, monuments…etc.

I LOVE BOSTON!! It’s where I currently live and was born and raised near it. i love her depiction of the city!

Such a beautiful city where I spent three weeks once…I loved everything about it! Especially all the old buildings, and the street cafes. :)
Catherine says
I love RVA! It’s my home and it’s lovely.

Jennifer says
I LOVE BOSTON! Because it’s awesome.
Ashley@AttemptsAtDomestication says
I LOVE RVA!!
Can’t get any better than good ole Richmond, VA! :)

I LOVE PORTLAND!
PDX is my home, I’ve lived in other places but Portland will always be home. The weather is perfect, the people are amazing. You can do almost anything and no one will think you weird, because that is PORTLAND!

I LOVE PRAGUE! Just one of those cities that felt magical when I visited and I can’t get it out of my head.
Gina Stierwalt says

Leah says
I LOVE ANNAPOLIS
It’s my hometown and it’s full of history, character, and the military.
Melanie says
I love Cornwall ON. Nothing beats your hometown :)
Alicia says
I LOVE ALEXANDRIA, VA! Even though NYC is still my favorite city and where most of my friends are, Alexandria and the DC area have grown on me over the past 3.5 years. My husband and I bought a house in Alexandria and love that we can walk to the movies, grocery store, restaurants, library and tons of other things. Plus, the bike/run trails in Northern VA are to be envied. Just steps from our door are three different trails that can take us into DC, to Mt. Vernon or elsewhere in VA. That’s pretty cool!
Jen says
I LOVE NEW YORK CITY! …and Philadelphia…and Venice, Italy!
Too hard to pick just one! NYC is where my husband and I met and now live, Philly is where I was born and grew up, and Venice is probably the most beautiful city I’ve ever been to!
Theresa says
I LOVE WASHINGTON DC! Because is where I met my husband.

Belen says
I LOVE SANTA CLARITA!!!!
It’s home and it’s awesome!
Erika says
I LOVE TUCSON! It’s not afraid to be what it is, outdoorsy, quirky, and homey.
Sara says

rachel says
I LOVE LOUISVILLE, KY! its where I grew up and will be my home forever!
Jessica W. says
I love Memphis!
It’s where my husband and I met, got married, had our son, and are still living (although my heart is in Texas!).
Chelsea says
I LOVE REGINA! Not pronounced ‘Regeeena’, but more like the female…well…you know. The place, although unfamiliar to us as kids, has now become the center point for my entire family. Although I live in British COlumbia now – Regina is where we go ‘home’ every Christmas! I wish it was a lot closer so I could see my family more but one day we will move back home to Saskatchewan, and hopefully not too far from the beloved Regina. The Queen loves it – so points for us :)
Carrie says
I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!
I was born there, and my husband proposed at the Golden Gate bridge.
Ainhoa@ALittleBite says
I love Paris!! I think it’s self-explanatory *cough* chocolate croissants *cough*
Erica Marbury says
I LOVE Albuquerque! No where else is the chile so hot, the sky so colorful, and the people so querque (“qwirky”). It’s home sweet home. :)
Cara says
I Love Jackson Hole, Wyoming!
Cowboys, every outdoor sport imaginable, wildlife, and Teton National Park! Talk about freedom! Love that place.
Stephanie S says
I LOVE PITTSBURGH! My husband and I were just talking about something like this over the weekend. We are transplants to our current Indiana town and having a hard time feeling “home” here, and looking for something to put in our house to remind us of our favorite city!

I love SEATTLE! No rain, no rainbows, right?
ps – Got my YHL gold metal drum pendant this weekend! Looks awesome, but not bright enough in the bedroom. Off to search for high-wattage-yet-cool-looking bulbs…
Ginger says
I LOVE BOSTON!
It is the first city my husband I moved to together, the first city we bought a home in, and the first city we brought our puppy home to. A lot of firsts and holds a special place in our hearts even if we don’t call it home anymore.
Crystal says
I LOVE NYC! I was able to go last year with some girlfriends and it was an amazing trip!
Jenna says
I LOVE RICHMOND! For all of the wonderful reasons you do, too! I’m so proud of my foodie, historic, River-City!
Ciarra says
I LOVE AUSTIN!!!
I grew up there and miss it so much! It has awesome things to do, places to eat, an incredible music scene, and I just love the southern hospitality with the touch of uniqueness and weirdness that keeps Austin one-of-a-kind.
Keep Austin weird!! :)
Rhonda says
I love Bemidji, MN!
Not exactly a “city,” but it is where I met and fell in love with my husband. :)

Perfect size city for me, it has it all and an MLB team!

I LOVE DETROIT. I have lived in the Detroit area my entire life. It has a bad reputation, but it’s actually a very amazing city to explore. My favorite places to visit are restaurants, sporting events and the museums.
Melissa says
I LOVE CHICAGO!
Im actually from the northwest suburbs of the Chi, but still love the city just as much. No one can handle weather like a true Chicago girl. :)
Kelley says
I Love Kansas City!! Even though we are getting ready to get absolutely dumped on with snow, it is a super friendly, down to earth city that never gets full of itself. (How could we with our sports teams!?). We have talked about moving to other states, but each time that thought pops into our heads, we are reminded once again of how much we love our sweet little big-town-wannabe city!
