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 Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

    It is such a beautiful city full of culture and spark. I love meeting new people, and this is the place to do it. You will never run out of conversation, local music, good food or BEER! :)

    I love St. Louis! We have a bad reputation as “dangerous” (due to a narrow city limit and unaccounted surrounding communities to bring up the averages), but I find it to be family-friendly with TONS of free events. I love summer-time picnics combined with free outdoor theatre!

    I LoveMemphis, TN!

    My husband got a job here [in Memphis] and neither of us had ever been. It is a great place to live – small town feel with big city amenities. It has lots of southern charm, good music, and GREAT food!

    I LOVE NEW YORK! It was the most memorable family vacation from my childhood and my husband I were engaged there while ice skating under the tree at Rockefeller center (one of my bucket list dreams)! We just celebrated our 5 year anniversary in New York in December! :)

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    I lived in Seattle for several years after graduating from college, and imagine that someday I’ll return there. The city is beautiful, and it has some of the best restaurants, bars, and outdoor activities in the country. I dream about the little craft cocktail bars and organic food markets. Great place to live, best place to visit!

    I LOVE PHILLY!

    I thought I would jet straight to NYC after college, but I have completely fallen in love with the community. We’ve got history, culture, fine food, and affordability!

    I LOVE BOSTON!

    It’s my favorite city I’ve visited so far. My family went with my dad last year when he was running the Boston Marathon and we all fell in love with the city! The sights are great, the people were friendly, and the food was ah-mazing.

    I live Chicago…it’s my kinda town, Chicago is. I grew up on the outskirts of town and still have family there. Whenever I go back, it still feels like “home”. Thanks for the chance!

    I LOVE SEATTLE! Mountains, ocean, trees, coffee, soccer, what more could you want? (Oh, yeah, sunshine…) But no, I really do love Seattle!

    I LOVE BUFFALO!

    I was born and raised in the Buffalo, NY area and think it is such an under appreciated city. Its got all the usual city attractions with the friendliness of a small town, is a stone’s throw from both Niagara Falls and Canada, and did I mention we invented the Buffalo wing?

    I LOVE RICHMOND (and San Diego)! Even after living on the West Coast for 3 years, Richmond is still home and the best city in VA and the East Coast, as far as I’m concerned!

    I love Dubrovnik, Croatia! Its a beautiful old walled city and an UNESCO world heritage site. We fell in love with the rocky coves, crystal clear water, weather, food and people. It draws us back again and again and even made it part of our honeymoon trip.

    I LOVE GRAND HAVEN!

    It’s an awesome town on the shore of Lake Michigan, full of outdoor activities. I just moved here but I love it already!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    I dreamt about living here for ages, and now that I do, it has lived up to my dreams! I love the laid-back attitude of its people, I love the eco-friendliness that seems to run strong in every local company, I love its lakes, its sunsets and the tech-savvy-ness of the town. I love that it has all the goods of a city, yet everyone seems to be outdoorsy. And who wouldn’t? We have mountains to hike over the weekend just a short drive away! I love its mountains. I LOVE SEATTLE :)

    I Love Greenville, SC! It’s a beautiful city and we have a wonderful community there. Not sure if she has one for there, but maybe I’d take something else from South Carolina because I love my state!

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH!

    My best friend from college lives in Pittsburgh, and I love visiting her there. I definitely love city life, but now that I have children, most cities do not seem to be kid-friendly. I think Pittsburgh is the most family-friendly city I have ever been to, with so many things to do!
