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 Salt Lake City! I’ve lived here a year and a half and I couldn’t be happier about it! There are so many things to do and they’re only 10 minutes away! Hiking, skiing, cycling, mountain biking, kayaking, whatever! It’s all just a few minutes away.

    I LOVE TORONTO! I moved here all by myself from Pennsylvania four years ago and fell in love right away. Toronto is the kind of city where everyone can find their own little community of people just like them. It’s such a kind and friendly city that I can’t picture myself ever leaving.

    I LOVE PARIS! I once was lucky enough to travel to France when I was in highschool. We got to make a quick trip to paris and stood in front of the Eiffel Tower. It was amazing and I have dreams of going to Paris again in the future and getting to explore the city.

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!

    Everything about that city makes me gloriously happy and I dream of going there again as an adult. (I went twice when I was in school.)

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!

    It holds my heart, and has since the first time I visited. It’s a representation that I can do and be whatever I’d like, as long as I work hard for it. But I also love my current location, Winston-Salem, NC.

    I LOVE ATLANTA!

    I went to college there, and it is still my first love of all cities. The architecture, the green spaces, the history. You can’t beat it.

    I LOVE… Richmond, VA! Moved here 17 years ago when the husband and I got married. I love it for the river, the history, the food, the Fan, the weather, the trees in my big front yard, and the people. :)

    I love NYC. I grew up on Long Island but was constantly going to the city for concerts, art exhibits, plays and for the food. I’ve always loved it there and always will.

    I LOVE COLUMBUS, OHIO! This is the city where my boyfriend and I of nearly 9 years have laid roots by buying our first home and persuing our careers.

    I would love love love to go to Paris! I was in love with France and the French ever since I was 9 years old and my favourite cousin went to France on a school exchange – or, to be exact, since a lovely French boy came back in the same program :D

    You’d think it would be easy for me to go, after all Germany and France are neighbours, but life (work, money and the lack of it) keeps interfering. But I am not giving up hope!

    And as usual, thank you for making these freebies available to us international readers :)

    I LOVE BOSTON!

    It’s where I met my husband-to-be, and the first of many cities we’d eventually find ourselves living in. We joke that we’re trying to hit every major city on the East Coast…although we haven’t made it to Richmond yet!

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!

    I grew up taking BART to the city to hang out with friends – Living in a suburb, going to the city was such a big, fun, deal for us that it made anything we did there more fun.

    I LOVE DC!!!

    We’ve lived here for a few years now and love how fun and accessible it is. Plus, we never really get over driving past the monuments and White House!

    I LOVE Rochester, NY. It’s a city with a rich history and great architecture. The parks are amazing! Some of them make you feel like you step back in time.

    I love Cape Town, South Africa. It is the most beautiful city with table mountain in the background and beautiful wine lands just a short drive outside of the city. My husband proposed in Cape Town and I will always love this place.

    I LOVE PHOENIX. It’s a funny city, but the downtown area is finally a place I want to be. Plus the beauty of the desert is often overlooked.

    I LOVE Hong Kong!! It is so exotic and foreign, yet completely traveler friendly – definitely my favorite “other side of the world” destination!
