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 Norfolk,VA! I grew up in Richmond so it will always have a special place in my heart and I visit often, but Norfolk is where we bought our home (our first!), it is where we got our dog, where we have wonderful neighbors, and it is right on the water – couldn’t ask for much more :)

    I LOVE WASHINGTON DC!

    I’m a life long East Coaster, and DC is just so beautiful and so historical. So many of our country’s decisions are made there. Maybe it’s the power, maybe it’s the cool people, maybe it’s the cherry blossoms….Whatever it is, DC just has a vibe that is impossible to resist.

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY! Because my man and I went to theatre school there for two years, and fell in love with it… it still feels more my home than anywhere else, even though we live on Canada’s west coast. We’re going back in March for a week, and I couldn’t be more excited.

    I LOVE SEATTLE!!

    I moved here 3.5 years ago, and I never want to leave! Sure, it rains a lot, but those sunny days with a view of the water or the skyline make it totally worth it.

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA because it is where my husband and I got engaged. He surprised me by flying up a day after I flew up there to visit my family for the New Year and proposed to me.

    I LOVE SEATTLE!!!

    Sure it is oftentimes gray. Sure it rains. A lot. But when the sun shines here there is no place I would rather be. Home sweet home.

    I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL!

    I have always lived in MN, but I love Minneapolis and St. Paul because I went to college in the Twin Cities and my husband and I have started our life together here, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

    I love Chicago.
    Lived there 5 years. The people, the food, the arts, the skyline! Exquisite.
    But to stinking cold to raise kids.
    Back to Northern Virginia

    I LOVE SYRACUSE [NY]! Well, not so much this time of year, but being so close to the beaches of Lake Ontario and the Adirondacks make the summers so enjoyable and beautiful. And there’s Syracuse Orange basketball!!
