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 Richmond! It’s the city where I grew up. But I also love Raleigh. It was my first home with my husband and son.

    I LOVE CHICAGO! I’ve visited 4 or 5 times. I love that it is on the beach but has 4 season, art, culture and shopping. I’ve been trying to convince my husband to move.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    I only live an hour away…not too close, not too far! Love being able to go into the city for a day or weekend getaway!

    I love SAN FRANCISCO! I love it because it’s the most gorgeous city in the country and I live here (so I might be biased :) ).

    I LOVE COLUMBUS!!!!

    Columbus is the biggest small city you’ll ever find! There’s always something for everyone. It’s a place where everyone is welcomed with a smile on their face- got to love that Midwestern hospitality! It truly is the heart of it all!

    It’s our forever home. My husband and I have decided that we would be perfectly happy living here in this city for the rest of our lives.

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH! I’ve lived here for 6 years, and while I do plan to move away to further my education, I feel like I really “came into my own” here, since it’s where I went to college and got my first real job. Pittsburgh will always have aplace in my heart <3

    I love New Orleans. It is a magical city with its own unique character. Even though I wasn’t born there and I moved to New Zealand after Katrina, New Orleans will always feel like my home.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON DC !!
    My now husband proposed at the Washington monument at sunset after a dinner date. We always love having dates in the city so it was the perfect place <3

    I LOVE RICHMOND !!
    Went to school for four years here. Such a diverse place and so much to do. I have many friends who remained there as I moved back to my home state. So this city means a lot to me.

    I love Omaha, NE! I didn’t think I would ever truly say those words, until i moved away. One year out of Omaha and I pine for good midwestern people and the love that everyone shared. It is definitely a place to raise a family and grow old in. I only hope I haee the opportunity to do that!

    I love Chicago! This is such a happy city for me. I was born in the midwest, but we moved to the east coast early on in my life. When I come to Chicago, I feel like I’m coming home. I never get lost here, and I’m very directionally challenged. I always find something new that I love about the city when I visit.
