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!

    I don’t really, my husband does. He grew up there and he’s just super loyal like that. I’ve been thinking about getting him a print of the Pittsburgh skyline for his 30th birthday, so this would be amazing! I love how she highlighted the cable car. I think I’ll be buying it either way :) Her prices are so reasonable!

    I LOVE PHILLY!

    I went to college and grad school there, and spent five glorious years enjoying the history, restaurant scene, and shopping that it has to offer!

    “I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO” my family goes back many generations here – I love it! It’s so different and eclectic – cliche I know – but true!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    I miss the mountains and water soooooo much since moving to Wisconsin 8 years ago. :-( Don’t get me wrong, Milwaukee has its charms but I never thought I’d leave my home. *sniff*

    I LOVE VANCOUVER!
    I have made my home here with my husband…plus where else can you get the cityscape, mountains and ocean all in one glance:) Depending on the year, with these views and the mild climate, I can usually forgive the rain!

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!! I grew up in Jersey (Holla Sherry) just across the river from Philly and my husband grew up just a few miles away in Philadelphia. We still live outside the city in PA and plan to live here forever!

    I love Pittsburgh for its bridges and underappreciated charm. Plus, I’ve been eye-ing up Albie designs prior to this post and was planning to get my husband one as a graduation gift. It made me super excited to see you feature them!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!
    Born and raised here and close to family and life long friends. Doesn’t hurt that there are views of beautiful mountains and Puget Sound from all over the city. Yes it rains a lot but that just makes the sunshine all the more sweet!

    I LOVE RICHMOND!

    Moved here 6 1/2 years ago and no turning back. My husband and I loved it here and with a son on the way this print would be perfect for his nursery we’re currently redesigning.

    I LOVE NORMAN, OK!

    I’ve lived in Norman, just a bit south of OKC, for six years, and my husband has lived here his whole life. We just bought a house and are expecting our first child, and we can’t think of a place we’d rather raise a family than my husband’s hometown and my adopted home.

    I love St. Paul! I lived there for 2 years after college with my husband right after we were married. It’s a city that has great memories and great friends.

    I LOVE PORTLAND! My husband and I both grew up there & met there. We’ve since moved away for work, but we always intend to return to Oregon.

    I LOVE INDIAN SPRINGS VILLAGE, AL! No, no one knows where it is but it is where we have lived the last 26 years and counting. Just a tiny village south of Birmingham but it borders a state park so we have all kinds of wildlife around as well as lots of trees and flowers. It is our oasis near a big city and each day we can’t wait to get home.

    I love Seattle! She is moody and mysterious and I could live here the rest of my life and never discover all of her secrets. Oh, and also, the PNW is quite simply the most beautiful place I’ve ever lived!

    I LOVE SAN DIEGO! It’s my favorite place. Great weather, nice people, beautiful landscapes. A close second place goes to Cedar Rapids, IA. I’ve lived in Cedar Rapids for the last 7 years and have grown quite attached to it.

    I love Florence, Italy! I studied abroad there while in university and fell in love with the culture, the art and the gelato! :)

    “I LOVE BOSTON (and DC)” because even though we just marked our seven year anniversary in DC, Boston is our home, it’s full of our families, childhood/young adult memories and adventures, and is full of charm to boot.

    DC is also a pretty incredible place–nothing beats when those cherry blossoms start blushing their way through the drabness.

    I LOVE RICHMOND, VA!!!! I was born here, grew up here, went to college here and then left for 20 years. My husband was in the military. However, we came back and we are so happy to be back with our family. Family is awesome. I do enjoy readying your blog. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.
