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 Minneapolis/St. Paul. Lived in the Twin Cities for several years after graduate school and met the love of my life there.

    I love Portland, OR!

    My sister lives there with her family and it’s a great city to visit. Lots of great hikes with beautiful waterfalls.

    I LOVE BOSTON! It’s a small comfy city with a lot to do, see and enjoy. I love being along the waterfront and enjoying the north end / fanieul hall / financial district areas. Thanks for letting me enter – I love this artwork!

    I LOVE LONDON, because it was the 1st place I traveled to by plane, because I fell immediately in love with the city and because it’s the place where I feel HAAPY!

    I LOVE RICHMOND!!

    I lived there for over 20 years after college and still miss it like crazy even though we moved away almost 4 years ago!
    Even if I don’t win this giveaway, the new Richmond print is on my “next to buy” list. It’ll look fabulous in our about to be remodeled kitchen area.

    I LOVE ATLANTA!

    Born and raised (on the playground is where I spent most of my days-ha!) here in Atlanta. While I can do without the heat and HUMIDITY of the summers, and the TRAFFIC, I just still love Atlanta and cherish the memories of growing up in and around downtown.

    I LOVE LA! You either love this city or you hate it ;) I have only lived there for 6 months during an internship but it instantly felt like home. It still does when I go back for visits.

    I LOVE PARIS!

    It’s so cliche, but I only got to spend one night in Paris, and it was love, love, love at first sight! I can’t wait till I can go back because a one-night-stand is far from enough!

    I LOVE TACOMA, WA! It’s a little big city. Small enough to see it all, big enough to feel like you can get a little culture, some yummy food, great architecture and close enough to water, mountains, desert and forest for adventures!

    I LOVE TULUM, MEXICO!!!!! A small town south of Playa del Carmen where my husband and I got married – toes in the sand, surrounded by our family and closest friends. Would absolutely LOVE a print for our 2-year anniversary in May to hang in our new place!!!

    I LOVE SAN FRAN!

    I was born just outside of SF and I have good family memories from visiting the city. I’ve had a chance to explore it as an adult in the past 2 years and now I especially appreciate the sense of individuality and the endless activities to do!

    I LOVE NASHVILLE because a) it’s where I grew up and b) it’s such a vibrant city with so much going on in the food, music, entertainment and tech arenas. Plus, it’s just pretty! =)

    Funny, I recently bought two Albie Designs prints as an engagement gift for my best friend. Would love to own one of my own!

    I LOVE DC!
    Well, not parking and cost of living, but most everything else. Whenever I see a bus full of tourists, I am reminded people pay to come and see this place that I get to enjoy every day.

    I was born and raised in the suburbs of New Orleans and I love the food, the architecture, the friendly people…

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!

    I lived there for two short years and it felt like vacation every day. I especially love the smell of eucalyptus everywhere. Just a gorgeous city for every sense.

    I LOVE ATLANTA

    Because I live in Columbia, SC currently for school and it’s the most dull, lifeless town in history. I can’t wait to move back to Atlanta in a few months so I can settle down for the next few years, finally be back with my friends, and create wonderful memories!

    i LOVE minneapolis. Frequently overlooked, always compared to Chicago, Minneapolis is a microcosm of everything good in the world: arts, culture, education, food, medicine, innovation, seasons(yes, even winter), sports, philanthropy, agriculture where you least expect it, and a city of lakes! It’s a pretty great place, you should visit : )
