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 SEATTLE!

    Seattle is my favorite city, I have visited it once and stayed with friends, but I want to go there more often, or else just move there. Because I love it so.

    I love Stuttgart, Germany!
    It’s where my husband and I met. We’re currently living in Texas, and expecting our first child, a little girl. We’d love to take her there some day and show her where our love story began :)

    I love St. Louis!

    I’m a transplant, but my daughter was born here and the soon-to-be will be born here this year, too!

    I love Minneapolis (the Twin Cities really!). I’m bummed you didn’t get to spend more time in our Midwestern lovely land of lakes and bikes (we go back and forth with Portland for the most bike lanes in a city!) and music. Come back and visit!

    I love Richmond!

    I currently live there, but i think why I love that picture so much is because that point of view is from Belle Isle. My best memories are from that island- just sunbathing on the rocks and having a luxurious-feeling vacation only 15 minutes away from my little house in the fan. i’ll be sad when i graduate this year and won’t have that happy place to come back to anymore.

    This is my first comment, but I think it’s worth coming out of my comment-shell for that print :)

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO! What’s not to love? It’s the most beautiful and romantic city on Earth. The bridges, the victorians, the fog, the open space, the broad views across the bay and the Pacific ocean… I could go on and on!

    I LOVE SAVANNAH!

    It’s my home. The city offers so much culture wrapped in a beautiful package of oak lined streets and antebellum homes.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    My husband and I went there before we got married a few years ago and had such a good. We went during the month of June which is the best time to visit. The weather was amazing and we were able to enjoy the city to the fullest. To this day, it is still one of our favorite vacation.

    I LOVE PORTLAND! It’s the best, sort of like a boston/charleston mix for the northwest. Also, so many microbrews, so little time….

    I love Portland! It’s my husband’s hometown, and though I’ve never lived there, I can never get enough when we visit. It’s a big enough city that there’s plenty to see and do, but not so busy and crowded as to overwhelm this small town girl.

    I LOVE CHICAGO! It’s the first place where my husband and I lived together and it will always have a special place in my heart….not to mention the best pizza in the world!

    I LOVE AUSTIN!!

    I went to school there, and since then, it’s always felt like home to me (though I haven’t lived there in almost 10 years now).

    I LOVE TORONTO! I lived there for six years while in school but was ready to leave when I was done university. Now that I am a little (okay, ten years) older, I’ve realized all the other things the city had to offer that I didn’t take advantage of. I would move back in a heartbeat, if I could take my house with me :)

    I LOVE PORTLAND, OR! My husband and I visited there last year and had a great time. I’d love to go back and explore more of the city!

    I LOVE MÜNSTER!

    It’s my hometown and now that I’m living at the other end of Germany I miss its cosyness. When I lived there I thought that it was boring and unexciting ;-)

    I LOVE PHILLY! It has all the perks of living in a city – great restaurants, bars, music, art, history – and it’s very livable – relatively low cost of living, walk-able downtown. It gets a bad rap, but everyone I know who comes to visit ends up loving it!

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!

    It used to be home when I was a child and now I love to visit and hate leaving. I’ve always dreamed of owning a fabulous brownstone on the upper east or westside. sigh.

    I LOVE SEATTLE! It’s my adopted hometown, I’ve been here since ’99. We have the ocean, lakes, mountains, a rainforest. You can be in Canada in 2 hours or Portland in 3. The glorious summer is well worth the wait, and no one appreciates the sunshine like a Seattleite. Love it!

    I love Oxford (UK), my home for the last decade or so, for the stunning architecture which I get to enjoy while I’m cycling around. On a summer’s evening it’s hard to beat punting along the river…

    I LOVE BARCELONA!

    For too many reasons, and if you were ever there, you’ll know why. Gaudi’s remarkable creations (OMG, La Sagrada Familia!), spanish food, La Rambla… and the list goes on! We spent a long weekend there and need to come back once the kids are older and can stay up late — as Spanish dinner only starts at 10pm! :)
