***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 BALTIMORE!! I saw another Salty Balty lover in the comments section & that makes me so happy! We love this city because the people are awesome & the town is a such a hidden gem…. a diamond in the rough for sure!
Amy says
I love Philadelphia! I got my undergrad degree there, and I can’t put my finger on just why I love that crazy place, but I long to go back. Perhaps it’s the Amish pretzels at Reading Terminal Market.

I LOVE MADISON!
Hannah K says
I LOVE ERIE! My new home, but my heart will also always be in Pittsburgh!
Lori (Get Started... Go!) says
I LOVE PORTLAND!
I didn’t grow up here, but from the first time I visited (at age 12) I knew it was MY city. Came here for college at 17 and stayed for good. I’ve followed my husband to a couple of temporary places in the US and overseas, but we always come back to the Rose City.
Alice says
I Love Chicago! We visit it for weekend trips and we always have a wonderful time.
LC says
I LOVE ANN ARBOR!
It’s filled with smart, friendly people who are working hard to do what they love. The cost of living is (relatively) cheap, the community is great, and the summers aren’t too hot. What could be better?
Rachel says
I LOVE Sydney! My home town and the place my children were born! Plus so many really yummy places to eat and beautiful beaches and great museums!

I LOVE PARIS. Great place for wandering around on foot, fantastic food everywhere and the marche de pouce is so much fun.
Beth L. says
I LOVE BOULDER! I love to travel, but am always happy to come home to Boulder, Colorado. Just the right size, beautiful setting, and great weather (most of the time, anyway)!
Leah says
I LOVE SEATTLE! It’s where my husband and I lived after we were first married, where we bought our first home, and where our first child was born. We moved away two years ago for a new job (and to be closer to family), but Seattle will always have a place in my heart :)
My husband and I have now lived in 3 different cities/states together. I’d love to get prints of all three! (Seattle, Madison (WI), and now Cincinnati).

Sarah says
I Love San Diego.
Current town. Represent’n.

I am a ‘yinzer’ born and raised. I live in Germany now, but those rivers and mountains call to me…

The culture, the food, the laid-back attitude…San Francisco is the epitome of what I love about California.

I LOVE COPENHAGEN!
I had the opportunity to visit Scandinavia a few years ago, and while I was there I visited Copenhagen, Denmark. It was a wonderful experience and now Copenhagen is my favorite city in the world.

I love NYC! Because I live here!
Marci-Rae says
GAH! I hit enter too soon! Please delete the other?!
I LOVE MADISON!
My husband and I needed a change from St. Louis and decided to pick a place in the US that we thought we would actually love to live in. We fell in love with Madison and six months later we were here! We just hit our one year mark at the end of January and we could not have made a better choice.
Kali says
I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!
There’s never a shortage of stuff to see or experience on a visit.
Jessica Kozik says
I LOVE ROSTOCK. It’s where I studied Medicine in Germany. Made some really good friends there.
Jen says
I LOVE ..CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA!
Why? Because it is the city that my husband and I met 10 years ago- and though we have moved around the country since- we recently returned. It is a special little place, full of quaintness, history and beauty!
Thanks for the chance! xo
Amy says
I LOVE ST. LOUIS!
My beloved hometown, and despite an UNDESERVED crummy reputation nationwide, it is a fan-freaking-tastic place to live and raise a family. Don’t even get me started on all the advantages to living here. About the only thing I would change is the weather sometimes…and wouldn’t mind some mountain views… ;)
Jess says
I Love Richmond! The history and endless new discoveries!
Kim says
I love Richmond. It’s where I went to school and worked for 6 years,where my husband and I were married, and where I want to live again someday.

I LOVE…
NASHVILLE! I live in Texas but visited it last fall and fell in love with the food and the music and the trees. I can’t wait to go back!
lyndsay @ that 70s house says
“I LOVE BOSTON” it’s a great “small” city with awesome attractions, restaurants, etc and we love living right outside of it!
Sara says
I LOVE Jerusalem! (city of gold – my home)
Emily says
I love Louisville! I came here to go to college and met my husband. It’s the right size – big enough to have city amenities yet small enough to feel like a town.
Kristen B says
I love New York! I never get tired of visiting because there is endless possibility there. Things to do, people to meet, restaurants to try. It’s such a treat to be there when I’m on vacation and all my time is my own.
Ginny says
I LOVE AUSTIN! My favorite city in my home state!
Aimee Freed says
I LOVE DETROIT! I grew up in the suburbs, and still love going back to visit my brother. Even though it’s been through tough times, the city is still amazing.
Alexa F. says
I LOVE SAN LEANDRO, CA!
Not a huge city, but it’s been my home for around 20 years. I love the diverse food, the marina and proximity to everything around the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.
I’d love those gorgeous Florence, Bruges and Cinque Terre prints. I’ve been to one of them and the other two are on my list!
Megan says
I LOVE SEATTLE! I vacationed here in college and it was love at first sight! Yes, the rain would take a little getting used to, but the culture and beauty of the city and surrounding area would definitely make up for the wet weather!
Analise says
I LOVE DC! I moved here a couple of years ago after nearly 20 years away from the city, and it’s been such a blast to rediscover its charms as a grown-up!
Allison L says
I love Sacramento! Simply because it’s my home town :)

Michelle says
I love snohomish wa!!
It’s big enough to have a Starbucks and Home Depot, but small enough that you can really know your neighbors if your interested.
Anika says
I LOVE NYC! It’s the place I first traveled to independently, the site of many get-togethers with friends and family, and it’s ever changing!
