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 FLORENCE!
    I lived in Firenze, Italia in college for study abroad and the experience helped me find my real inner self–corny but true!

    I love Houston! It’s where I met my husband, and I love all the independent restaurants we have here. They’re fantastic!

    I LOVE DC! There are so many cool neighborhoods, but the buildings are never big enough to make you feel like you’ve been swallowed alive. Yesterday I was driving back to VA from Georgetown headed towards the Kennedy Center and the Lincoln Memorial with the river on my right in the late afternoon and just thought ‘Wow. I love this city.’ The views are seriously so cool.

    I LOVE DENVER. I moved west, from Pennsylvania, almost 4 years ago. How could you not fall in love with the snow capped mountains.

    I LOVE CHICAGO! Because the summers are gorgeous, the city is fun, and the winters are fun even though they’re also awful.

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    I went to college in Seattle and would love to live in the area again. I felt like I didn’t appreciate my time there since I was studying all the time. I always enjoy weekend trips there to explore and visit with friends.

    It’s my hometown, where I met my husband, and where my children were born. But I also love New York.

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH!

    I lived there while I was in college and never realized then that I would miss it as much as I do now!

    I LOVE ST. LOUIS, MO! Even though it gets a bad rap for being dangerous and is considered “fly over” country, St. Louis has a lot of culture and art, great architecture, and the largest number of free cultural events per capita in the US (free zoo, science center, art museums, music festivals, plays, and tons more!).

    I LOVE BOISE! It’s home right now and a very underrated city in a beautiful state. Although, I have many favorite cities…

    I love San Diego! Only have a few months left living here and really sad about leaving such a great city, even if I get to go somewhere better :)

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO! I met my husband and my posse of fabulous girlfriends all in SF. Anything goes in that city and I love how people don’t blink an eye. Guy riding a unicycle down Market Street in a leotard and cape? Totally normal. Golden Gate Park, SF Bay, Ocean Beach – love love love. We moved away 5 years ago but I definitely left my heart in San Francisco.
