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.

    What’s not to love?

    The list is endless.

    I love Chicago! We are only about three hours away and I love all of the museums, parks and big city feel with the tall buildings and fast pace…plus, the water taxis are fun, the kids love it! We can’t wait to go March 9th and check out Lincoln Park Zoo!

    I LOVE CORVALLIS, OR!

    This small town is where I was born, where I went to college and where I met the love of my life. It will always hold a place in my heart and since we’ve moved away it’s a favorite place to visit, especially during football season… Go Beavers!

    I LOVE San Diego! Lived there for most of my teens and 20s. Good memories, love Mexican food, and the weather rocks! Loved going surfing in the morning, to the mountains and snow for lunch, and to the desert for a bonfire at night. So awesome!

    I LOVE B’MORE! We moved away because it’s crazy there now (with the kids and all), but we still love anything MD or Baltimore-related. It will always be “home” to us.

    I LOVE VEGAS!!! I complain that the hubs and I don’t ever vacation anywhere, but it’s because he’s a tad addicted/enamored with Vegas, and has sucked me into loving that city too. My first trip there, he proposed; we got married there; and we’ve had a myriad of trips in between and since then. Love the food, the activity, but mostly the eaaassyyy way to just kick back and do nothing if I so (and always do!) desire :)!

    I love Lancaster, PA! I was born and raised right outside of this vibrant city. The city itself is always bustling with activity – theaters, endless boutiques & restaurants. But what I love most is right outside of the city you can escape to quaint towns and farmland. It’s a neat location and a must see.

    I love Annapolis!

    I went to college at St. John’s and have spent most of my life living just 20 minutes from the gorgeous little coastal town. If you don’t get what’s so great about it, then you havn’t been there!

    I LOVE NYC!!

    The husband grew up there and we had our first date (and nearly every consecutive one) there. I also started my career there and have fond memories of visiting my grandparents in their apartment back when I was a kid.

    My husband and I traveled to Spain for one month and our journey started in Barcelona. It was beautiful!

    I LOVE RVA (Richmond, VA)!!!
    It’s close to D.C., the beach and the mountains. It’s affordable and has all of the seasons. Great restaurants, museums, colleges and there is always a party, fund raiser, concert or exhibit to go to. Love it!

    I LOVE NYC!! I have never been there, I’m from South Dakota, but I have been dying to go to NYC. It just seems so exciting, there’s so much to see, so much history. I love big cities and i think I would LOVE NYC!

    I LOVE MILFORD (CONNECTICUT).

    I love it because it’s a small city with no real bad areas, a growing arts program, close to NYC, Boston, DC and a host of other fabulous places. I love my little cottage close to the water, and have some fantastic friends!!

    I LOVE Washington DC area…..

    Because it is where I grew up and where I am thinking of moving back to be closer to my family. Now I just need to work the job thing out. That will not be easy!

    I LOVE CHATTANOOGA! The city is on the foot of the Appalachian mountains so the scenery is gorgeous! And of course, the people are nice too. =)

    I love Ann Arbor, MI!

    Its a smaller city – there probably is no cool artsy print of it. But its my favorite city in the world, where I started my family and brought my son home from the hospital. I live near Philly now. I miss Ann Arbor every day, BUT, I really like Philly too. Its big and beautiful and exciting.

    I love New York.
    I would live there if I could. It’s my favorite vacation spot, and I just love how different it is from the Midwest where I’ve lived my whole life.
