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 FARGO!

    My husband and I went to college in the Fargo/Moorhead area and it’s where we met. We love going back to visit because it’s the perfect size and everyone is so nice. We helped the community sandbag during flooding for 2 years and it has a special place in our hearts.

    I LOVE Sebastopol!!! California that is- my hometown! I grew up in the small town and every day I wish I could go back.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON, DC! The place I’ve felt most at home and myself. Enjoying a respite from insanely hot summers but will make my way back there before too long.

    I LOVE RICHMOND, VA! I only moved here about 4 years ago (for a job), but have fallen in love with the city’s people, history, food culture, and proximity to the mountains/DC/beach!

    I love Boston! (and Richmond!)
    My husband and I met in Richmond and lived in Boston for our first 3 years of marriage – Boston is a great city, with awesome bookstores, great restaurants, the Red Sox, and plenty of snow during the winter.

    I love CHICAGO! Living in a big city that has access to a major body of water like Lake Michigan makes both winters and summers fun.

    I love Philadelphia! I was born in the city and raised in the suburbs. Many of the people you meet have lived there for generations; since I’ve moved away I’ve missed the charm of architecture and the honesty of the people.

    I LOVE DC! I’d be so excited to win this because my boyfriend and I have a tradition of buying some piece of art representing each city we travel to. So far we have DC (where we live), Chicago, and San Francisco. Maybe one of these prints would inspire a new vacation destination…

    I LOVE MEMPHIS!

    Memphis is such a vibrant, beautiful city. It’s my home, forever and always, no matter where I move. I love my hometown, and the cultural awakening that’s spreading throughout. <3

    I love Richmond, VA. I bought my first house here, had my children here and raised a family. The Richmond print would be the perfect piece of art to remind me of all that I love about this town.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    It has all the good “city things” but without the hectic pace of NYC, and Midwesterners are so nice. I’ve been a few times, but I’d love to live there someday.

    I LOVE CLEARWATER!

    It feels really weird to type that. There’s so much that I don’t love about Clearwater, FL, and there’s even more that I don’t really know about it. We moved here last summer, and had our baby here in September. We’re about 10 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico and 20 minutes from Tampa Bay, and it’s sunny and warm in February, and we’re happy in our little rental house… OK, that’s a lot to love! :)

    I LOVE RICHMOND!

    My husband and I moved here last summer and have been so happy with our choice. Closing on a house this week and setting down some roots in this town.

    I love San Diego, CA because my husband and I met and fell in love in SD. We live on the other side of the country now and we miss it SO much!

    I love San Francisco!

    I lived there for 2 years right after college graduation and loved the beauty, diversity, and energy.

    I LOVE PORTLAND, OR!
    I’ve never lived there but I spend the majority of my life only a couple of hours away and have visited many times. It’s such a lively place with great food, a love for the outdoors and an overall funky/fun atmosphere.

    I love Durham, NC because it has the best foodie culture. My wife and I go to grad school in Durham, and it’s such a great city. We want to remember this time in our life always.

    I love Washington DC! Moved here for graduate school, stayed for the fun times it brings as a twentysomething, a political junkie, and a non-car owner!
