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 INDIANAPOLIS so much!

    I love the nice people, local food scene, blooming yoga/fitness scene, ease of navigation, and most of all I love my job at Butler University! :)

    I LOVE CHARLOTTE!

    My husband and I moved here from Virginia Beach 4 years ago and we love the skyline view, food, people, jobs (which is why we’re actually here), and weather!

    I LOVE NYC!

    When I was in college my roommates and I developed an overwhelming love for NYC and the excitement it offered so we all vowed to apply for jobs there after graduation. I was the only one who followed through and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. My life and heart are here forever :-)

    I LOVE DALLAS!

    Dallas, TX is home for me. Hub and I are currently stationed in upstate NY and it’s such a special experience when we get to visit home. Love the weather, love the sunshine, love the culture- just love it!!

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY! My husband and I have lived here for the first 5 years of our marriage, and are sad to leave the city this spring when we move to the DC/Baltimore area. I would love one of these prints for our new home down south. :)

    I love LONDON! I studied abroad there and have been desperate to go back ever since. It’s the greatest city in the world!

    I LOVE PARIS!

    We went there for our honeymoon and it was even more beautiful than I had imagined. The food was amazing, all of the green parks were gorgeous and it was fun to see all of the sights lit up at night. Such a romantic city!

    I LOVE DENVER! It’s where I live, so I think I have to go with that one. Although I’ve always wanted to visit Cinque Terre, so that could be good inspiration!

    I LOVE NASHVILLE!

    After years as tourists, my husband and I made living here a reality. Now we’re having a blast making memories in this music city we call “home!”

    I love Seattle! I went to college there, so there are many fond memories.

    I have prints of both Seattle and Portland (where I live now) from Albie Designs that are hanging in my guest room that I love!

    I LOVE KANSAS CITY! It’s a little big city. I get a little crazy in bigger cities with too many people. We live in a suburb of KC an I love that I’m 15 minutes from downtown and 15 minutes from the country. Plus, I can’t live without Jack Stack BBQ! It’s such an underrated city in my opinion! :)

    I LOVE ATLANTA! Even though I’ve never been there, but it’s the home of Coke and I collect as much Coca-cola memorabilia as I can. :)

    Hmmm I love San Diego, CA and Portland, OR. Both great beer towns! But I guess the perfect weather puts San Diego in a slight lead :)

    I love Philadelphia – because that’s where I was born and raised (and on the playground is where I spent most of my days…)

    I love Des Moines, IA! It’s where I grew up, went to college, currently live, and during that time it has grown into a whole new city! While I do not know how long I will continue to live here, I will always call it home.

    I LOVE LONDON!

    My grandmother was British, I grew up-with a pleasant Anglophile mom, I studied aboard there, and my husband and I were engaged in a phone booth there (the one I used to call him from when I was studying abroad). We happily live in Chicago, but London feels like my heart-hometown.

    I LOVE SAN DIEGO! Amazing weather, tons of activities, and you can visit the snow and the beach in the same day. I feel so blessed to live here.
