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 PARIS!

    There is something about it’s history and culture that made me fall in love. I’ve only been once but I can’t wait to return one day.

    I LOVE RVA!!! There’s no place I’d rather be than relaxing on a rock at Belle Isle or Texas Beach. No city has better food!!! And sunsets always look prettier from Church Hill.

    I LOVE PORTLAND!

    Besides all of the fun outdoor activites nearby, Portland is really one of the friendliest places I’ve ever lived in. I also love that there are coffee shops literally on every corner

    I love Charleston, SC! Since moving here three years ago, I’ve had the pleasure of beach weekends, great food at new restaurants, and great, southern friends.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    It’s my hometown and now only get to visit it once every 1-2 years :( Whenever I see it on tv or a movie, my heart aches a little bit to go back.

    I LOVE DURHAM, NC.

    This plucky Southern town has charmed me to no end… I didn’t move here looking to fall in love, but now I’m a huge fan. In fact, I can’t stop talking about how great it is to live in Durham!

    I LOVE BRIGHTON
    Brighton is a magical city on the southern coast of England where I spent 10 months studying. I met my best friend there, continued a long-distance but ultimately fulfilling relationship with my now-husband, and learned how to live by myself as an adult. It’s a gorgeous city with great architecture and history, surrounded by the ocean and the rolling hills of Sussex. I love it.

    I LOVE Milwaukee!!!

    Milwaukee, WI is not only home for me, there are also so many fun things to do and explore! Whether it’s attending Summerfest, visiting one of the many local breweries, or enjoying Lake Michigan, our summers are so much fun which make the cold winters worth it!

    I LOVE SEATTLE :)

    We just moved nearby, and it’s just so laid-back, outdoors-y (ironic because it rains 24/7) and doesn’t feel overwhelming like other cities.

    I love Louisville, KY! When we lived in Bloomington, IN we would drive there once a month. It is a city full of memories.

    I love Chicago!

    I was born and raised in Chicago. I recently had to move to the East Coast due to my husband’s job, but Chicago is still and will always be in my heart.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    I’m a relatively new transplant (going on three years) but it’s a wonderful amalgamation of Midwestern sensibility and urban living. I’m enamored with CTA, walking to a grocery store, street festivals, and the oodles of different foods I can eat!
