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 AUSTIN… I love my beautiful city because of the parks, live music, free spirited people, the lakes, food trailers, south congress, the unique boutiques, and this is where we started our family and had our first baby girl!

    I love….Seattle! (in the summer) Every time I go back during the summer I’m nearly weepy with the desire to move back. It’s so fun and beautiful. :-)

    I love Annapolis! It’s right up the road and a fun, relaxing little town for a date night. it’s surrounded by water and boats, and the ice cream and crabs aren’t too shabby either.

    “I LOVE Chattanooga” because it truly is one of the finest town, and outdoor communities in the US. We have great food, activities, views, and people. Come check us out.

    I love Los Angeles!

    Well, not really. I’ve been having a hard time adjusting since I moved from St. Louis but I’m here for my career and I have to learn to love it. An art piece declaring my love may try to soften my grump, or it can just be a sarcastic note to match my tone.

    I LOVE CHICAGO! Especially in the summertime. There is so much to do and the lake is just beautiful. Of course in the winter I’d rather be in Honolulu!

    “I LOVE ATLANTA”

    I love Atlanta because it is where my hubby and I went to college, started dating and were married. We don’t live there now but we are ATL Falcons Season ticket holders so we visit frequently!

    I LOVE LONDON! I spent over four months there (over the course of a couple of years) on business trips, and I split my free time between markets and museums. I’d move in to the V&A Museum if they’d have me.

    I LOVE Chicago! I grew up outside the city, and now live in the Ozarks….. which I’m growing to enjoy, but my heart has always been and always will be in Chicago. My husband and I plan to retire there if nothing else :)

    I LOVE CHICAGO! My husband grew up there. We’ve visited a lot. And we even considered moving there. I would love to get my husband a print of his hometown as a surprise gift!

    I LOVE Honolulu, Hawaii!!

    My husband and I got married there and eventually would love to relocate our family and live there for at least 5 years. We love that the culture of the islands is incorporated with the hustle and bustle of city life. Not to mention the shopping is amazing!

    I love Bloomington, IN!

    This was the city where I went to college and, during that phase of my life, it was a magical college town with beautiful buildings and quaint locally-owned businesses that I still miss a bit. I don’t know that I’d ever want to live there again as an adult, but it’s always nice for a quick day trip.

    I left my heart in San Francisco. My husband is in the military and San Francisco is where we got married and started our lives together. We lived there for 5 years until he got transferred this summer to Northern VA. We like NOVA, but San Francisco will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

    I LOVE ST. PAUL! I came to college in St. Paul, MN and knew I had to live here and raise a family. And here we are…even with the long, cold winter I still love my city.
