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 NEW YORK!
    Such a great place to visit- and so many memories from visiting as a kid. There are so many awesome things to do there. Love the hustle and bustle.

    I LOVE BOSTON! What’s not to like, there’s the history, the beautiful buildings, the awesome museums, and fun family things to do.

    I love Wilmington De!

    I’ve never actually been their, but we are moving there in May and it represents everything we’ve worked for finally coming to fruition! Fingers crossed for dreams coming true!

    I LOVE FAIRFAX, VA and ROCHESTER, NY!
    Fairfax is where I was born and raised, so it’s just who I am. Rochester is where I’m living now and it’s pretty darn fabulous in the warm weather!

    I LOVE NEW YORK!

    Or rather “I love Astoria!” Astoria has really cleaned up since you lived here. Now, what is not to love? BZ Grill delivers, I live right next to the park, and the Greek lady who lives below me often bakes! Plus, no bedbugs! (Knock on wood.)

    I LOVE DETROIT!!

    Everyone gives Detroit such a bad rap, but it’s a really beatuiful and diverse place, that’s trying hard to come back.

    I would love to have a print of Detroit, so when my job and life takes me else-where I’ll always have a piece of home.

    I love Minneapolis! I’ve spent a fair amount of time there visiting family, and although I’ve never lived outside of Kansas, it has always been on my short list of other places I’d like to live.

    I LOVE NEW ORLEANS!

    Because no matter how long I have been away, being born and raised there, it will always be home. I always get a sense of nostalgia when I think about NOLA.

    I LOVE SAN DIEGO!

    I moved here 10 years ago from Ohio for school and was never able to leave. There’s a reason they call it America’s Finest City!

    I love Murfreesboro, TN! I moved here to go to college…nearly 7 years ago?…and never left! It’s a growing city, so it’s big, but not huge like Nashville (laugh at me, people in New York!). My husband and I just bought a house here and I don’t ever want to leave! 8}

    I love Philadelphia!

    I grew up in South Jersey and lived in Philly and its PA suburbs for years. We are back to S Jersey now, but only live minutes from the bridges :)

    I LOVE PARIS AND BRUGES! It’s where my partner and I went on our first trip together and marks the end of our time living in Europe, they are both very special places to us! We would just love to look at those prints everyday :)

    Thanks!

    I love Tulsa, OK! …because it’s the place that welcomed me with open arms with I decided to step outside my comfortable small-town life & embrace living in a city. 3 years later and that 9-month internship turned into the place we purchased our first home! It’s a great city!

    I LOVE NEW YORK! I spent my 4 years of college there (my school was in the basement of the Empire State Building, no less!) and even though I’ve since moved back to VA to get married (yay!), I’ll always love NYC.

    I LOVE DENVER! It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a city, feels small but has lot’s to do, walkable, full of active people! Plus this picture would look absolutely fabulous in my loft with a city view!
