***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.

Chandler Q says
I love NASHVILLE!
It is where I went to college, met my husband, and where we are starting our life together. I love the mix of hometown warmth and trendiness, I love the great food, I love the southern hospitality, I love all the local restaurants and shops, I love the landscape. There is very little about this city that I DON’T love :-)
Casey says

Dallas! It’s my home even when I’m away from home.

I LOVE NASHVILLE!
I love the living in the south & I love country music.
Heather says
I LOVE GARBERVILLE! Actually, I love Humboldt but it’s a county, not a city….redwoods, hippies, total utter awesomeness!

I LOVE PARIS because it’s the finale of the Tour de France. I prefer small towns, so for me to pick a city, this worked. :)
sheila gruber says
I LOVE ATLANTA! I grew up here and it’s just home to me!

Christina @ Homemade Ocean says
I LOVE NASHVEGAS….
I have a hankering for some honkytonking!!!!
Jessica says
I Love Indy! It’s the city I was born in, and I think it’s a great mix of the benefits of a city, but also maintains a lot of great small town Midwestern charms.
Praveena says
i love cleveland…..had our beautiful siya here and will always remember this city…
Adrienne says
I LOVE RICHMOND!
Moved here two and a half years ago and cannot get enough! I live in the fan and could not be more obsessed with the history surrounding me!

I LOVE ATLANTA!
My husband and I just bought a house and had a baby in Atlanta. I have Kimberly’s Chicago (where I met my husband) print and I love it!
Kassie says
I LOVE SAN ANTONIO!
It’s always been one of my favorite cities. It’s only 3 hours from where I live so I’ve been there a lot. I love the food, culture, music, everything.
Lauren says
I LOVE New Orleans! I’m a relatively new transplant to the city and love the FOOD, music, and culture it brings to its residents. The best part is Mardi Gras!!
Casey says
I love Washington DC! It’s the best mix of all of the greatest places to live and work. I just adore it!

I love Washington, DC~
Olivia says
I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!
It’s a great size – not as massive as NY, but still plenty of things to do and endless numbers of great restaurants. Plus it is super close to lots of other fun cities.
Whitney says
I LOVE SALT LAKE CITY! It’s home, it’s city-ish and yet totally outdoorsy. Food and culture in 5 minutes, 7 resorts in 30 minutes, and camping in the backcountry in 1 hour. Wowza

That is where my little family lives, and where our first son was born!
Lindsey S says
I Love Cincinnati/Denver
I currently live in Cinci, born and raised, and we would love to move to Denver. Its GORGEOUS.
Ashley E. says
I LOVE BOSTON! I went to school in RI, met my husband there, and New England always feels like home. We’ve been out of the northeast for 4 years now, since I’m going to vet school in NC. My husband and I are both so homesick for the good ol’ Dirty Water. Thanks for the giveaway!
Danielle says
I LOVE BOSTON!
I went to school there and it was the first place I lived where I felt like I belonged. Pretty sure Brooklyn will be a close second once I live here for longer!
Carissa says
I love Murray, KY because it’s where my hubby and I met and fell in love. It’s a super small (college) town so most people have never heard of it, but it’s special to us :)
Jane says
I LOVE Chicago! It’s the perfect mix of a big city with its fast-paced lifestyle and a Midwestern sensibility. My husband and I grew up in big cities in Europe and love Chicago for everything it has to offer.
Teresa C says
I love Boston! It’s got a little bit of everything!
Amanda says
I love Homer, Alaska! My husband and I went a couple years ago (along with some other Alaskan stops) and fell in love. The mountains, the water, the views. Breathtaking!
Catherine says
I LOVE WASHINGTON, DC!
I live just outside our nation’s capital and I adore it. There’s so much important work going on (or sometimes not going on, ahem, Congress), it feels cool to be in midst of it all. The architecture is incredible. It’s a seriously beautiful city. Every morning on the metro there’s a brief stretch between Pentagon and L’Enfant where we’re outside, and the view takes my breath away every time. And there are so many cool cultural things–many of which are FREE. There’s so much to love!
Jess says
I LOVE Brooklyn!
Because it’s home.
Ashley says
I love London!
Melissa G says
I love Charlotte!

Hubs and I honeymooned in Alaska – would love to go back!

I LOVE REDLAND CITY!!!!!
It’s where we live…and ill bet none of your readers know where the heck I is :) :)
Meg says
I LOVE ST PAUL!
We are raising our family in St. Paul. Both my husband I are born and raised ND kids and St. Paul was always the big family vacation growing up. Now we live here and have the city at our fingertips (well 20 minutes away from the burb we call home anyways). We love it.
Calliope says
I LOVE Rome!
Do you really need an excuse to love Rome??
:)

Lauren says
I LOVE Knoxville, TN!!
It’s where I was born, where my family lives, and where I met my sweet hubby!
Sonja says
I love SEATTLE, ANCHORAGE, PORTLAND, and Orange County (CA). All the places I’ve ever lived. What can I say, I love the West Coast. The Portland one is a bit of a cheat: I actually went to school in Salem, which is about 45 minutes south of P-Town…
Suzanne says
I Love RICHMOND! No place else like it! Thanks for helping to put it on the map, YHL!
Lauren says
I love Paris! We did a whirlwind trip there for 4 nights in 2011. We stayed near the Eiffel Tower and walked by it everyday. We had an awesome trip and have even thought about moving there :)
