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 Nashville, Tennessee! My fiancee and I hope to be there soon after getting married this May. It is a big city with SO much to do but it still has the charm and relaxed vibe of a smaller town

    I LOVE DENVER. That’s where I grew up and just recently bought my first house. Of course, I love some other great cities, but this is the one I’m sentimental about right now. :-)

    I LOVE AUSTIN and PHILADELPHIA!

    I spent my grad school years in Philadelphia and miss living within walking distance of Reading Terminal and Rittenhouse Square. I now call Austin home and I love it!

    I love Washington, DC. I came here for college and other than a two year stint in my home town, I’ve been here ever since. I love the energy, the diversity; I love how there’s always something to do.

    I LOVE CHICAGO (And Boston.)

    Born and raised in this great BEAN decorated town and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! Except… Maybe Boston which I fell IN LOVE with upon visiting 3 years ago. Take me back!

    I LOVE WILLIAMSBURG, VA!!! Everything about Colonial Williamsburg speaks to me – I’d go there every year if I could. Especially at Christmas time!

    I love Astoria, OR! It’s my hometown and the history here is great. Can’t go wrong with the place they filmed Goonies either!

    I love FLORENCE, AL (where I grew up) and HUNTSVILLE, AL (where I worked after college & met my husband.)Would love to have pics of both or either one to hang in our house. Maybe I’ll be lucky this time!

    I LOVE HARRISONBURG!

    Ok, so the Burg is not really a city (fun fact: it’s also called the Friendly City), but it’s one of my favorite places in the world. I went to college for undergrad and grad school here, met the love of my life here, and now live and work here too! This town has given me so much, and despite the fact that it occasionally smells like dog food (true story), it’s a beautiful little place in the heart of the Shenandoah Mountains. I might never leave. :)

    I love San Diego! Not only is it such a beautiful city with so much to see it also hosted a lot of great memories for my family.

    Too many to choose from! I LOVE Washington, DC (because my wonderful home is there), Buffalo, NY (it has the most personality and best food of any city), Santa Fe, NM (beautiful SW architecture and landscape), and San Francisco, CA (because of the outdoor activity options).

    SEATTLE! My husband and I lived there for about 7 years. We started our life together there and had our son there. It’s filled with awesome memories!

    “I LOVE the TWIN CITIES” for so many reasons….the water, the people, the food, … and even sometimes the cold.

    I love Boone, NC! I went to college there and I love visiting year round. The weather is great and it has a nice small town feel. Can’t wait to move back one day (probably when I retire)!

    I LOVE CHICAGO! Its one of my favorite places to visit, from the beaches of Lake Michigan, to shopping on State Street, and visiting Navy Pier… Chicago never lets me down!

    I love Oak Harbor, Washington because it has become home. It gave my husband and I our start after years of long distance and deployments. An added plus: our first baby will be born on this beautiful Pacific Northwest island.
