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 NYC! I was only there for 1 day to visit, but I love everything about it – the lights, the Broadway shows, the interesting people, the sites. I can’t wait to get back there soon!

    I LOVE INDIANAPOLIS!

    Because it’s home. I never planned to stay here long. Five years later, I just purchased my first home.

    I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS! Because, really, what’s not to love? Museums, art, great food, lakes, biking/walking trails, theaters, music, people and some *really* great vintage furniture shops! While it would be great to live some place warm, I would miss everything about it.

    I love BALTIMORE!!!! Why, it’s Balmer hon! That’s why. I moved away 4 years ago when I got married and miss it often. I love visiting and getting right back to the harbor, crab cakes and Smith Island Cake. Don’t even try crab cakes anywhere else, never worth it. Go O’s!!!!!!!

    I LOVE PORTLAND, OR.

    It’s such a beautiful city and has a little bit of everything. I love all the bridges and it’s a great city to live in if you’re a foodie! It’s also been home for the past 31 years for me <3

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!!

    I went to college in Philly and lived there for several years after. It’s where I learned to live on my own, where I had the best adventures, and where I met my best friends and my husband!

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!

    I moved to Philly in 2009 for school, and I hope I can stay here forever. Also, it keeps Boyz II Men stuck in my head on a pretty regular basis. (Motown Philly, back again…)

    I LOVE DENVER!

    I grew up in this mountain paradise, but moved away right after college for graduate school and later a job. I’m still scheming as to how I can end up there again.

    I LOVE BOSTON! First and foremost, it’s home. But having 4 seasons is pretty awesome too! Well, except when you nearing the end of winter and done with all the snow. Springtime now please!

    I LOVE CINCINNATI!

    Cincinnati is my home. This girl loves her Cincy style chili, goetta, Graeter’s, Labor Day Fireworks, Oktoberfest, Reds, Xavier, and UC. The best part is I’ve got the best view of the city from my classroom window!

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    Born and raised as a city girl, love the place and still have tons of family there. Followed my hubby to a small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our basement is currently decorated with all things Chicago, this would be prefect!

    Ack! I was *just* looking at Albie’s city prints last week!!

    I don’t think I have a favorite city yet (gotta do some more traveling!), so I’ll say:

    I LOVE ORANGE! because it’s got a small town vibe in the heart of Southern California and there are so many great things about living here, while also being in driving distance to a lot of other great cities. But in reality I could pick a lot of other great cities in SoCal just as easy!

    I love Charleston, SC! It was the place where my husband and I moved to 5 days after we were married. We lived there for a little over a year before the Navy moved us elsewhere. We wish we had taken more advantage of it while we were there, though.
