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 Syracuse! I was born and raised there and while I don’t currently live there (we live in NYC) it will always be my home. Thankfully, we are within driving distance so we try to get home a few times a year. Go Orange!

    I LOVE RICHMOND, VA. I moved here to go to VCU for school and fell in love with this place. There is so much to do and so much AMAZING food to eat!

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!

    So many great pocket neighborhoods with fabulous food, ethnic diversity, AWESOME museums, and the suburbs and countryside surrounding Philly are absolutely gorgeous with rolling hills and adorable villages along the railroad lines.

    Boston is my second fave…if it weren’t so COLD and SNOWY, and I could actually afford to buy a house there, then it would be first.

    It’s where I live now, and it’s such a friendly little city! Plus, it’s near the ocean!

    I love Dublin, Ireland! Ireland is a place I have always dreamed of visiting. I love the mythology, the brogues, and the culture! Plus I’d love some art for the walls of my house.

    I LOVE Rome! So much history, architecture, fashion and amazing food. I could sip a cappuccino and people watch there all day long.

    I LOVE MADRID, SPAIN!!

    I was born here and go almost every year to see my family. This last Christmas my fiance came with me to meet my family and see Madrid for the first time! It’s home to me.

    I love St. Paul!

    Especially since I’ll only call it home for 4 more months, and this print would look adorable (and help with homesickness) in my new apartment in Stockholm!
    Great giveaway!!

    I LOVE ATLANTA!!!

    I was born here, went to school here, and have (maybe?) settled down here. It’s a classic Southern city mixed with readily available country – what more could a girl ask for?

    I love Edinburgh, Scotland. I live there for four years. I loved the atmosphere, the size and all the wonderful things to do. Plus, what’s not to love when you have a castle next door?

    I love Edinburgh, Scotland! It’s the city where I met my first love, but even more importantly, it’s the place where I feel most at home! :)

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO! I grew up about an hour away, and I truly left my heart in SF! I live in Seattle now, which is lovely, but SF holds a very special place in my heart.

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!

    It was the first place I worked after I graduated from college (didn’t live there…lived in a converted garage in Oakland, of course), but the city inspired me to dream BIG!!! <3

    I LOVE CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA! It’s where I currently live, and is my favorite place to have lived in so far. I’m moving to Richmond this summer though, so we’ll have to see how the two compare!

    I LOVE MELBOURNE!

    I’ve travelled all around Australia, but there is no other city I’d live in, I fell in love with Melbourne 30 years ago and that feeling will never change.

    I LOVE CHRISTCHURCH (NZ)

    Because it’s where i spent a large chunk of my life, and because although it’s had a tough time of it lately (large parts of it have been all but destroyed due to a huge earthquake in 2011) it will rise again and be better then ever!

    I LOVE RALEIGH!!!! It’s where I find family, friends, and where I met my husband. It’s full of beauty, good people, and good food.

    I LOVE AMSTERDAM! My mum is from there and I spent lots of happy summers there as a child. After highschool I lived there with my Oma and Opa (grandparents) for a year before starting university. Lots of happy memories….
