That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome

Hey Begona,

MAINE ME!!!
Well, Kennebunkport is a pretty odd name…and I’ve been there many times. And I live close enough (Boston) to drive to their shop, so I’m hoping Random.org picks me so that I have an excuse to make a trip up to their shop! :-)

The closest thing I have to answer this question is the county where I used to live. It’s spelled Fauquier, but I’ll let you guess how to pronounce it…John and Sherry probably know as it’s just an hour or so north of Richmond!

My husband is from a small town up in the panhandle of Florida called Niceville. He gets asked all of the time (ALL of the time) if there are nice people that live in Niceville.
