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 MACKINAC ISLAND! I went as a kid with my family, and I can’t wait to take my family (husband and future children) back someday for the one-of-a-kind experience.

    I LOVE CHAPEL HILL, NC! This college town has been a major part of my life. My parents met here, and I met my husband here as well.

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH

    It’s where I was born, where my family lives, where I met my husband and where my kids were born. It would be hard for any other city to compete with that! Plus, Pittsburghers are just my kind of people :)

    I LOVE CHARLESTON, SC! My husband and I met there while volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in 1999. We returned there in 2004 for our wedding. I hope to go back again next year for our 10 year anniversary! :)

    There are so many cities that I love, but I have to say I love Seattle; the variety, the beauty and even the rain are amazing! I cross Lake Washington every day and quite often can see Mt. Rainier on my way home and it still takes my breath away.

    I LOVE NYC!

    I lived there for 7 years and those were the best years of my life! Every time I’d take the train into/from the city and go over the Manhattan Bridge, I made a point to always look up from what I was doing and admire the view. It’s my favorite place on earth, and maybe some day I’ll get to live there again.

    I LOVE RICHMOND! I grew up there, but moved away after college. I live down the road in Norfolk now, and will move out of state in the next few months, but I’d love to live in Richmond again and re-discover all the great things I love about it.

    I love Albuquerque, NM. I moved to ABQ when I was 25 to find a good job, a great man and amazing weather.

    …I scored all three.

    I LOVE SEATTLE! I love that I’m from Washington and live close enough to Seattle that I can visit the city often. It’s a unique city that has great food, art, and entertainment.

    I Love Phoenix,

    I love that you can do something outside about 360 days a year and we don’t typically get snow (with the exception of last week).
