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 PITTSBURGH!

    Pittsburgh is such an easy city to live in and near. It’s been on the Forbes’ Most Liveable Cities list for several years in a row.

    I LOVE BERLIN, WI

    I just recently moved in the area and I am loving it. What’s great about the small city is that everything is walking distance to my favorite places like coffee shop, thrift store, church and Victorian houses.

    I love Reykjavik! My happy place is a little coffee shop off one of the main streets called C is for Cookie. My boyfriend and I text each other about running back there on really bad days.

    I (hope) love Richmond! My hubby & I are in the process of making plans to move to the Richmond area. We are looking forward to getting to know our new city. But my first love is Galway Ireland.

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!

    It’s my warm fuzzy place because I met my husband while attending University of Delaware. We bought our first home in a suburb of Philly. I never thought I’d love it or miss it once we moved away but I do!

    I LOVE BOSTON!
    Moved here several years ago for school and never left. The city is great with very distinct neighborhoods and a great cultural/arts/foodie scene too. And all the universities mean lots of great free stuff going on.

    I LOVE L.A.!

    It’s where my husband is from, where we met, fell in love, married and had our two babies. Love the many cultures and the weather isn’t too shabby, either!

    I LOVE MELBOURNE! I love our multicultural city, amazing parks, cultural life, sporting events, many of the places you can day/weekend trip to just outside the city & the people who love her, some of my dearest friends! (as an aside, I think very much I would also LOVE NEW YORK, I have just never been there!)

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!

    This is my husband and I’s fourth city to live in together and I have no idea why we didn’t come to NorCal sooner. I’m convinced this is the best city on earth. I would love a print from Austin, TX or Richmond, VA or San Francisco – all places we have called home and all places we adore!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    It’s my home, I love the culture and the people. The city is never boring and there is always something to do here! It’s absolutely beautiful and perfect for me.

    I LOVE CINCINNATI (and ANN ARBOR and PALM BEACH!!)

    I spent every summer of my childhood visiting my grandparents in Cincinnati and I have so many fond memories of visiting downtown. Ann Arbor is where my now hubby and I moved to after college for our first jobs. The town has such a cool vibe with lots of beautiful parks for enjoying the outdoors. I was born and raised in the metro West Palm Beach, FL area but was married on the island of Palm Beach. The entire island has a lot of history and is impeccably maintained.

    I LOVE NEW ORLEANS!
    I grew up going to New Orleans to visit my Grandmother who lived there several times a year. We ALWAYS went to Mardi Gras, and it will always be my favorite city in the US.

    I LOVE HAWAII though I suppose most of it would be more beach scene than cityscape … the coast Waikiki beach could be neat-looking with this artist’s twist.

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    My husband and I called it home after a cross country move shortly after tying the knot. It will always have a special place in our hearts since it’s where we started our marriage, bought our first house, and gave birth to our twins :)
