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 Minneapolis! MPLS has been home for 6 years now (including undergraduate AND graduate school), and I love it because it is where I became a grown up. Conquering college and first jobs and first apartments will do that to ya! Also, I can eat at Sebastian Joe’s Ice Cream whenever I want. Can a gal get a scream for some delicious ice cream? :)

    I LOVE PORTLAND (OREGON)!!!

    Portland is a great city and it is surrounded by nature, two hours from the mountains two hours from the coast two hours from the high dessert. It has so many big city perks in a cute and tiny package. Great food, great culture and friendly people. I love it!

    I LOVE MONTREAL!
    It’s like going to Europe without the long plane ride! Good food, good shopping, and fun to practice speaking French.

    I LOVE New York City. The culture and the food and the people. Not necessarily in that order! (Do I mean higher for food or people? Who knows!)

    I LOVE SORRENTO
    It’s a city in Italy that my husband and I visited in 2008. By far it was our favourite place. Its got this great small town feel to it with peach trees lining the streets and its right on the coast. Such an amazing place!

    I love Pittsburgh! I especially love the view you get when you come out of the Fort Pitt tunnel at night. So beautiful!

    I LOVE KNOXVILLE, TN!

    My husband and I moved to Knoxville two weeks after we got married and spent our first two years as a family there while I completed grad school at The University of Tennessee (GO VOLS!). It’s a fantastic city with an amazing downtown, lots to do and see, a great river running along campus, and a short 40-minute drive to some of the most amazing scenery on Earth, care of the Smoky Mountains. We live in East Texas now, and while I love the Piney Woods, I do miss East Tennessee quite a bit!

    I LOVE MONTREAL!

    It’s been my home for almost 3 years. I’ve got plenty of memories there, good and bad, with friends, family, my awesome fiancé… :D Not planning on living there all my life (who knows, though ^^), but it’ll always feel special.

    I LOVE BOSTON…and…FT. LAUDERDALE! (and MANY OTHERS!!!)

    Boston is the closest ‘city’ to my home in NH…and it’s always been such a fun destination…whether to sight-see or shop or eat (or get a book signed by some semi-cool, well-known-ish blogging couple).

    Fort Lauderdale was where my boyfriend and I took our first vacation. We love the ocean and this Floridian escape was exactly what we needed…so it holds a special place in our travel-loving hearts.

    (By the way John & Sherry, I think you’re more than semi-cool…and you’re clearly more than well known…especially of the ‘ish’ variety.)

    I LOVE MUNICH, GERMANY!

    I studied in Munich during college and absolutely fell in love with the city. I have been back a couple times since college and always feel like I’m home when I arrive there.

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!

    It’s where my husband and I fell in love. It’s the city where he proposed, in the midst of a snowstorm. What’s not to love?
