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 LA

    There is so much to do and so many different feeling neighborhoods all in one city. And the food is amazing. Our little family loves calling it home.

    I love Portland (Oregon)! It’s one of the best places in America for food and coffee and I am so grateful to live here. The people aren’t bad either. ;-) Thank you!

    I Love Charleston, SC!

    I love the food, the history, Sugar Bakeshop, the affordable things to do, and the fact that our best friends live there so it gives us plenty of motivation to go back often.

    I LOVE Florence, Italy and would do pretty much anything to live there. Since I never win contests, I am going to buy myself the Florence print!

    I love Richmond, Virginia because we JUST moved here and we are from Chicago and parts of Richmond remind us so much of home! Also, the culture and diversity of the area is amazing…I LOVE it!

    I LOVE “Portland, OR”! Because it’s a place where young people go to retire! And eat at food trucks, and help one another, and is just full of cliches, but in the best way possible! Portland just makes me smile and remember the good old days of the seventies in southern cal!

    I LOVE CHARLESTON (sc) !!!

    I have lived in Charleston my entire life, and I cannot imagine living anywhere else! We have history, beaches, delicious food, great shopping, friendly people, an awesome college, tons of festivals and events, and so many other wonderful things. I love to travel and explore new places, but Charleston will always have my heart!!

    I LOVE LYON! One of my most favourite places to visit – it’s about 3-4 hours outside Paris, and has the “feel” of Paris without the busyness and pollution! (I know, how could I possibly say anything negative about Paris?! But I’ve always been a suburbs girl.)

    I LOVE WASHINGTON, DC!

    What’s not to love about a city filled with so much history and diversity?!

    Plus it’s where my fiancé and I have made our home and where we’ll be married in April!

    I love the Twin Cities! Aka Minneapolis and St. Paul. Both cities have so much to offer and I wouldn’t want to have grown up anywhere else. :)

    I LOVE RALEIGH!! That’s where my husband and I went to college and met.

    Of course, I may have to get the London print. I studied abroad there one summer.
