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 YORK, PA. I grew up on Long Island, then met my wife at UMD and moved here a few years after graduating to be closer to her family and job. It’s a great mix of city/dowtown and rural/far country not far apart.

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA!
    I’ve only lived here for less than 3 years, but the moment I moved here, I’ve felt at home. I love the vibe, the forward-thinking, the food, the culture.

    I LOVE BOSTON!!

    I grew up about an hour outside of the city and it always had a special place in my heart. After college, my amazing boyfriend and I moved here together – it will always be our first home and our favorite city. We love its historic charm and small-town feel.

    I love Long Beach, CA!

    This city has always been home, regardless of where I am. I love that, even as a large city, each nieghborhood is unique and there is a tightly knit community.

    I LOVE SYDNEY! Sydney is probably my favorite city in the world… however if I were to win this giveaway, I would get Cleveland (I know, big difference between the two!) but I’m from Cleveland and don’t live there any more and it’s always a nice reminder of a wonderful childhood.

    I love Portland. It is our adopted hometown – I grew up in Seattle, my husband grew up in L.A. and we met in New York. Portland is the perfect fit for the two of us.
