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 “RVA! River city! We mean business, but we stay pretty. From the north to the south, east end to west end, we got history in the makin’, so welcome to Richmond!”

    I love Maui! (ok this in an island not a city, so to be more specific, I love Lahaina)

    Who doesn’t? My husband I am honeymooned there and plan to return on our 10 year anniversary next year.

    I LOVE CHICAGO! While it is honestly not my favorite place to live, I love it because of the memories this city holds – it is where I went to college and grad school, where my husband and I made our first home, where we adopted our amazing dog, and where we’ll have our first baby in just 7 weeks. Although it can be a challenge for me to live here, far from family, it will always hold a special place in my heart!

    I LOVE BOSTON!!!!
    This city was home to me for four years while in college. The culture, the people, the history blows me away. And then, just last week, the love of my life took me there and in the middle of the city proposed to me!

    I love Denver! Because that is where my husband and I met. But I also love the London print–London was my first trip outside the US.

    I LOVE Baltimore! That is where I lived for several years.
    It was difficult to pick just one city to list that I love! So many cities to love, so little time ;-)

    I love Chicago!
    I grew up outside of Chicago and even lived there briefly after college. It will always hold a special place in my heart :)

    I LOVE LONDON! My husband and I met there 10 years ago (last week!) and began dating while there studying abroad for a semester. Once home to our college in KY, we got engaged a year later and married a year after that!

    Then we moved to Madison, Wisconsin (LOVE IT too…except for the depressingly long winters!) and now live in Nashville, Tennessee! Who knows where we’ll end up next or for the long haul (whenever Hubby gets a tenure-track position), but our heart will always, at least partially, remain in London!

    I Love Washington DC! I was born here and mostly raised here. After more than 15 years away, I moved back with my husband and children. I love taking my children to my favorite places from my childhood.

    I LOVE OTTAWA!!!!!!!!!!

    I moved here over 10 years ago for school and have hardly left. It’s a beautiful small city with tons of green space, bike paths (you’d love it John!), great restuarants and very friendly people.

    I LOVE SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA!

    It is where my husband and I went on our honeymoon and I would love to go again, and again, and again! The cityscape of Harbour bridge and the Operat house is so iconic. It was completely breathtaking to be there for the NYE fireworks display! I’ll never forget it!

    I LOVE PARIS!

    It was our first big trip together (the fiance and I) and it was so much more than I was expecting (and I was expecting a lot)! It just has this magical feel about it, and I get all giddy even thinking about it. I found everyone to be so friendly, cheerful, and helpful too! Whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed, it’s the happy place I go to in my mind. Sitting under the Eiffel Tower on the lawn, enjoying a bottle of good wine and some tasty treats picked up from the local market.

    I LOVE FREMONT! We moved to this small town in MI after we were married for 6 months and I hope we never live anywhere else. It’s absolutely wonderful :)
