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 CHAPEL HILL!!

    because it’s small town, but still close to everything we could ever need or want. We’ve made a family and community here, and it’s become our home.

    I LOVE CHARLOTTESVILLE! The home of my Alma Mater (and John’s!) is the happiest place on earth–not only for the memories it holds, but the funky town & gown culture it has!

    I love Wine Country. Although not technically a city, Sonoma, Napa, and everything in the surrounding area make me so happy. Or maybe that was the wine.

    I LOVE SPLIT, CROATIA

    My hubsband and I traveled to Split on a whim as we were traveling through Europe and it ended up being our most favorite city in the world. The sights, the people, the beaches…it is truly a hidden gem. Oh, and I love Pittsburgh because living here is awesome.

    I love Birmingham, Alabama (aka “the Magic City”) because of its desire to build a future that relies upon and never covers up its diverse past. Plus, it’s where I met my hunky husband in college and where we’ve settled into creating our first home.

    I LOVE TORONTO!
    My hubby and I lived there for a few years in our college days and early adult life and loved it!

    Second runner up would be Detroit, MI. It’s just across the river from our new home in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and even though it has a bad reputation, it does have a lot going for it!

    I Love BUFFALO, NY because it has the best pizza on the planet, the best summer festivals, and some amazing architecture. Seriously charming. Seriously yummy.

    I love Cleveland, Oh. We visit the city every year. It may not be glamorous to some but it has great restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, quirky shops, awesome breweries, theater, a cool waterfront, and so much more.

    I LOVE KANSAS CITY!

    Aside from the BBQ, I love KC because this is where I met my husband. Neither of us are natives, but somehow we found our way here and to each other!

    I LOVE NASHVILLE!
    We moved here on a job offer and a whim four years ago and have fallen in love! The music, the people, and the food have just captured us.

    I LOVE LA!

    The sun, the sand, the city. My home! I’ve traveled this country a lot, but I am always happy to land back in LA LA Land:)

    I love Charleston, SC. I learned so much about myself while I lived there. I began my career there, started grad school there and learned how to slow down and enjoy life. I also made the best friends of my adult life and met the love of my life in Charleston.

    I LOVE ST. PAUL and LONDON

    By the way – this giveaway is really cool!

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!

    I don’t LIVE in SF, but I live just up the road in Napa. I love Napa too, but SF gives me that taste of the city whenever I’m sick of country living. Plus, my husband and I spent some very memorable date days there! Nothing not to love about the city by the bayyyeyyaaayy, whooooaaaooohhohhhhh.

    Sorry. Journey humor. It’s kind of a thing around these parts.

    I LOVE FORT COLLINS, CO!
    I love it because it’s a college town with a nice vibe. We are raising our son here. You can walk or ride your bike so many places. Our family has moved close by and we’ve made a ton of great friends here!
