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 NANTUCKET, MA! It is one of the most beautiful places (although hard to get to) and my parents live there, so it is super relaxing to be there. I love it!

    I LOVE NYC! Because it’s the city where hubby and I got married, even though we’re from the UK.
    And I LOVE the tiny village in Somerset where we now live with our darling boy.

    I LOVE CINCINNATI! It is where I’ve lived my whole life, but I’m still constantly finding new things to do and places to explore.

    I love New York!
    I’ve only visited twice but I would move there in a heartbeat if I had the chance. I’m a city girl and just feel so at home there!

    I love Chicago!!

    I lived in Wrigleyville when I was a kid with my father – that city will always have a place in my heart.

    I LOVE DENVER!

    A little city with a lot of things to see and do. Born and raised in CO, Denver has a beautiful view of the mountains (<3) and has become such a foodie city.

    I LOVE Portland Maine!
    The reason being, my husband and I have one goal in mind… to move back! We lived there as a “layover” in 2009 while we were on a nearly 2 year adventure ( http://www.dbkayak.com ) and we fell in love with it. We have spent our time since, figuring out how to move back.

    I LOVE FLORENCE!

    If I had to pack up all my things and move to one city tomorrow, I’d choose Florence. It’s the perfect size, I could walk every where, I’d be surrounded by art and of course, the wonderful delicious food. And gelato – can’t forget the gelato.

    I love Baltimore! I love that it’s sort of a small town, I love Patterson Park, all the wonderful food, and our sports teams!

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!

    I’ve gotten to live here for a few years and I’ve just come to absolutely adore it. And one of the SF Albie prints captures my favorite SF spot – Aquatic Park looking up at Ghirardelli. AWESOME!

    I LOVE COLUMBUS OHIO! Growing up, I moved around a lot. I mean a LOT. Columbus is the first city in about a decade where I’ve been able to put down roots and really feel at home. It’s a perfect place for 20somethings like me, with lots to do.

    I love Greenville, SC! My cousin lives there and it is really a cool city to hang out in. I definitely need to head down there again and see more.

    I LOVE FLORENCE!!! I scrimped and saved in order to study there for a portion of my degree, and I loved every single second of it. I’m hoping to take my finacee there on our honeymoon to show him just why I love it so much!!

    I LOVE Atlanta because there is always something to do! Whether it is some live music in the park, FREE Saturday’s at the High Museam of Art, a grand opening for a store, club or restaurant, you can have a night (or day) on the town every day of the year if that’s what you wanted to do. Although we are a big city, we’re not too big like say NYC or LA but we’re big enough to have a great deal of variety to find something to fit everyone’s tastes! The weather is awesome (just not today…it’s grey and rainy) with mild winters, colorful spring’s and nice hot summers. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else!!!

    I love NYC! Actually, it wasn’t a good fit for me in many ways, but it’s where my son was born, and I have good friends who are still there, so I have a soft spot in my heart for it!
