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 RICHMOND, VA because it’s got lots to do and is situated close enough to the mountains and the sea that you could take advantage of either if you got tired of the river here!

    I LOVE CHICAGO! We became our family there. It’s still where my favorite community lives. It’s so easy to get around, the lake, the food!, the music/theater/improv scene. I’ll stop now…

    I LOVE Houston!! When I first moved here over four years ago, I never thought the city would grow on me as much as it has. I love being close to my friends, bars, restaurants, parks, the bayou, bike trails, the smell of fresh bread from the bread factory down the road, the friendly people and the downtown view from my apartment balcony.

    I love Lake Tahoe, Ca.
    It’s the place my fiance and I go whenever we need to get away from the hustle and bustle of work and life!

    I LOVE L.A.! It’s a crazy huge, weird, beautiful, ugly town to live in. It drives me crazy some days and on others, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

    I love RVA, because I’ve always called it home, it’s where I met the hubs, and I can’t imagine a better place to live!

    I love Philadelphia!

    I love Philadelphia not only because of its importance in history, but I love it for the people who live there now. People of Philadelphia have an attitude and persona unlike anywhere I have ever been. Everyone has a sense of pride for their city. The Rocky movies also make it awesome!

    I LOVE ATLANTA!!! It has the best weather in the spring, fall and summer. I love hot hot weather, and I’m so glad to live where it regularly gets 95 degrees + during the hottest three months of the summer. To me, summer starts around mid-April here and lasts until the first week of October. Perfect for someone like me!

    Oh, and we have lots and lots of wonderful restaurants with fantastic patios to enjoy it all :)

    I LOVE ATLANTA

    i live there and there are many things i love, but the top three things would be 1) the quirky neighborhoods, 2) the abundance of good farm to table restaurants and 3) the TREES!

    I LOVE SAN JUAN (Puerto Rico)!!!

    It’s where we went on our honeymoon, and we’ve been back to celebrate our anniversary every year since. The food is INCREDIBLE, the beaches are beautiful, and the original old city is breathtaking (think 16th-18th century architecture with Miami colors). Oh yeah, and it’s 85 degrees year-round. Paradise!

    I LOVE BOSTON!

    I love Pittsburgh! The city erupts in green every spring :). And my husband and I were married there and bought our first house!

    I LOVE CHI-TOWN!
    What can I say… the Lincoln Park Conservatory, the lake views, the ‘L’, the architecture, Millennium Park, nearby Oak Park, the Cultural Center downtown. *sigh*
    I need a summer-home there. Oh, how a girl can dream.

    I love MELBOURNE! Just got back from a holiday there and totally fell in love with this city. I love her Sydney print too.

    I LOVE SAN DIEGO!

    I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and while Columbus is a great city, I’ve lived in San Diego for the past 10+ years and it’s been the place where I grew into the person I am now, with my own life and opinions.

    I LOVE CHARLOTTE, NC! I was born and raised in the Queen City and grew to appreciate it even more when I moved away for a few years. But glad to be back!

    I Love Chicago! It is the city where my husband and I got engaged and where we got married! Since we don’t live in Chicago we would love a special piece of art that reminds us of our favorite city!
