***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 Oxford UK!
Although I live in Minneapolis, and her print of the city is amazing!
Jessica says
I LOVE SAN DIEGO!
It is the city where I was born, and have lived for almost all of my life. While some prefer to have “4 seasons”, I prefer 70 degree days in February, lounging around gazing at palm trees from my patio. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be!
Willa says
I LOVE WASHINGTON, D.C.! Because it’s scaled for human beings, beautiful, and so walkable. Not to mention that every block is chock full of stories (OK, history).
Jen says
I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!! and I just know I’m meant to live there someday!
Ginger N says
I love Washington, D.C.! It’s where I’ve lived the longest besides the house I grew up in, so it’s my second home.
Derek says
I LOVE NYC. My wife loves it, so naturally I love it too ;)
Bryony says
I LOVE LONDON! It’s where I lived when I was doing my MA, and it’s where I met my husband. :) Our engagement photos were taken in a bunch of our favourite museums there!
Emily says
I love Seattle! Because that’s where I live, where my husband and I have our first home. And where I’ve started my business. I also love Prague, because I lived there in college and it reminds of being independent and strong and doing crazy stupid college stuff :)
Sarah says
I love Columbus, OH! We were recently rated the #1 most intelligent city in America (of 7 throughout the world)! It’s more than just football here!
Heather says
I love St. Louis! Rivers, snow in winter, heat in summer, crazy landmark people don’t understand… what’s not to love?
Katie says
I LOVE.. PITTSBURGH!
moved here (from Virginia) almost 9 years ago and absolutely love it!
Cathy says
I LOVE Atlanta, because it’s where I met my current bf. :)
Kate says
I LOVE AUSTIN! Beacause it’s where became the person I am today, and where I fell in love.
Jamie says
I love San Luis Obispo, California! It’s the happiest city in America, according to Oprah and I totally agree :) San Luis Obispo is full of happy, healthy, and friendly people. It’s very pedestrian and bike friendly and I encourage everyone to visit our gorgeous beaches and wineries.
Kelly says
I love Chicago because I took a big chance in moving here, leaving my home for 8 years behind. And I was rewarded and for the first time, found a place that truly felt like home.
Natalie says
I LOVE LAWRENCE, KS!
I went to college there & moved away, but it’s still near and dear to my heart. Rock chalk!
Sam H says
I love Indianapolis! Only because it’s home and I miss the peoplewe left behind there :( We’ve lived in Detroit and Denver – which are both great if not better cities, but home is home, ya know? We just need to convince all of our friends and family to move to Denver with us!
Courtney says
I LOVE AUSTIN!!!!!!!
I am a native Texan and there is no other place in Texas I would rather live! The people are great and there’s so much to do here. And it’s just unique! Keep Austin Weird!
Meg M. says
I LOVE ONTARIO (California, that is)!
It is in the Los Angeles metro, but it feels a little like a small town. Being one of the older cities in this area, Ontario boasts a rich history and has many 100+ year old structures. As a lover old old buildings and houses, that is a giant plus for me!
Judith says
I love Melbourne!
I spent seven months there as an exchange student, at it was bloody awesome.
It felt both cozy and huge, with so much to do and see. Very friendly and relaxed people. And all kinds of amazing nature all around. Oh my god, I love and miss it so much.
Amanda says
I love DC! Everyone hates on it but I think it’s has a great big city feel without being unmanageably large and there are a lot of neat (and free!) things to do.
Penny says
I LOVE DETROIT! (I bet you won’t see many of those)
I love it because it’s home.
Maggie says
I love Austin. Good memories of UT.
Erin says
I LOVE ST. LOUIS! Where my husband and I began our married life, it’s an undiscovered gem of a city…full of arts, universities, and architecture to die for!
Annie says
I LOVE MADISON, WI!
When my husband and I moved away last summer it was bittersweet. We’re moving on to better career opportunities, but leaving behind the quirky, green, friendly, perfect-sized Madison. We do visit often to help heal the hurt!
Addy Sand says
I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS & ST. PAUL!
I love the atmosphere and the wide variety of things to do! Also, three words: Mall Of America.
keri says
I love Paris… In the spring time… because my love is there.
Ana Silva says
I LOVE WILLIAMSBURG! It is a historic city with beautiful architecture and landscaping. I like that is not a big city or very dirty in most places.
Suzanne says
I love Nashville! Born and raised here but spent about 6 years in the NYC area which was great but it’s just good to be back home. Things are just easier, though still exciting and fun.
Barbara B says
I LOVE LOUISVILLE KY! IT’S 40 MILES NEAR ME & GROWING.

I LOVE PORTLAND, OR!
I lived near there (Corvallis) for two years for graduate school and loved it. I am back in the Midwest, but miss the Pacific Northwest like crazy. I also love Milwaukee, though, where I did my undergrad… and who knows where we will go from here!
Beth says

My sister went to grad school there, and I got to visit a few times. It’s really a lovely place, and I always enjoyed my time there.

Holly Faske says
I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO
because I’ve never been there before and have always wanted to go!
Rachel says
I LOVE OTTAWA, Ontario. I met my husband while kayaking in Ottawa, the first print reminds me of us kayaking together. Ottawa is also a city with lots of water (and the world’s longest skating rink in the winter!)
Sharon says
I LOVE PORTLAND,OR … I feel at home here! I love all the quirkiness, the beautiful bridges, the people watching, the smaller city, the wonderful family life, the beautiful scenery (GREEN) and being approx 1.5 hours away from the beach and the mountain!! You kinda want to move here now, right?! Thanks!!
Brittney says
I LOVE SAVANNAH!
We love vacationing in Savannah; it’s beautiful, comfortable and amazingly relaxing! If you haven’t been, you should go. ;)
Christina @ Floridays Mom says
I love Sitka, Alaska. My hubby and I took our last big “pre-kids” trip there and we both fell in love. Its such a charming town, and I’m just obsessed with the wildlife/water.
Cory says
I LOVE Fairfax City, VA
I like that we’re a somewhat traditional small-ish city with a mayor, civic associations (and few or zero HOA fees), festivals, and such right in the middle of great big Fairfax County.
kara says
I LOVE DETROIT! Motown…coneys…motor city
Savannah says
I LOVE ASHEVILLE! Visited several times, and my husband and I have already decided we will buy a house there when he gets out of the military. Love the mountains, the shops, local artists, love everything!
KRISTIN (AUST) says
I LOVE THE GOLD COAST!! I grew up in Sydney Australia, but live on the Gold Coast now… I love the city lining the golden beaches, with the green green hills and mountains behind it. Beautiful place to live :)
