Fab Freebie: Maine Attractions
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
It’s a shame we can’t take any major road trips right now (thanks to our wee one) since this week’s giveaway has us itching to head north to Kennebunkport, Maine. 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.
But have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome online shop and one of you is gonna win a $150 gift certificate to spend there. Score.
And not that we’re in the business of telling people how to spend their prize money, but here are some things we would totally snag for ourselves:
Wanna take home some of this beachy bliss? Here’s how to enter this week’s Fab Freebie (oh, and stay tuned for a discount code this Thursday):
- PRIZE: $150 toward anything in Spaces Kennebunkport’s shop
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MAINE ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … since our giveaway sponsors reside in a fairly uniquely-named town, we’d love to know of any unique / weird / funny city names that you live in, have visited, or have noticed on a map (i.e. Love, VA; Bummerville, CA; Sweet Lips, TN)
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 2nd at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the USA
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

MAINE ME!!!
i grew up in cool, california. it’s in the foothills of the sierra nevada mountains, northeast of sacramento. it’s a tiny, blinking stoplight town. my dad always says, “i’m so cool, i live there.”
MAINE ME!!!! Can’t think of any really funny names, but I just came back from Sunset Beach, NC and that is one of the nicest named places I’ve ever been.
MAINE ME!
I don’t think I’ve visited very many towns with crazy names, but I did drive on a Fifi Rd once…
Jusy came across your site & i’m already hooked!!! Please “Maine me”!!!
“MAINE ME”
Tlaquepaque, New Mexico (tuh-la-key-paw-key)-
say that 12 times : )
Maine Me!
can’t think of any funny cities right now
MAINE ME!! Absolutely lovely.
I always laugh at Cheboygan, MI…reminds me of Seinfeld.
MAINE ME!
Wow, I’ve NEVER been anywhere close to the first post on a YHL entry!
MAINE ME!
I used to live in PA which has crazy town names all over the place, with classics like Intercourse. Now that we moved to VA, Bumpass is a favorite.
MAINE ME!
MAINE ME! I’m super psyched to see a giveaway from my home state. Kennebunkport is a fun town to visit, so this would be the perfect opportunity for a little road trip down the coast!
Maine Me!
Maine Me!
I’m from a town called Paradise! Located in Northern California. It is not as tropical and relaxing as it sounds. More of a retirement community. Great name, none-the-less.
Thanks! Love all the work you’ve done.
MAINE ME!
I have been to Kennebunkport and it’s beautiful there! I grew up in a town called Flower Mound in Texas. Definitely get some strange looks when I tell people where I’m from.
MAINE ME!
My hometown is near, “Normal”, MN.
MAINE ME!
The only odd city name I remember is Ursa, IL just because it’s similar to my name Ursula. I used to live near Niceville, FL which is a pretty funny name the first time you hear it. :)
Maine me!
Maine me!
Maine me!
I don’t think it’s a city, but I have always been glad I did not live in “Bumpass” Virginia!
Maine me!
paris tx.
ROFL
Maine Me Baby!
MAINE ME!
My fave right now is Bucksnort, TN
MAINE ME! No funny city names here in Western NY (Rochester.) We do have towns named Rome, Greece, and Egypt though!!!
MAINE ME!
My favorite is Mianus, CT. (giggle)
MAINE ME! Hell, MI always makes me laugh when I see it on the map!
MAINE ME!
I always laugh when I hear the weather report for Waupan, Wisconsin because it reminds me of the episode of “Friends” where Chandler is trying to make the “whip” sound!
MAINE ME!
Santa Claus, Georgia!
MAINE ME!
When I used to live in Kentucky, there was a small town that we’d always stop in for gas in between Louisville and Lexington, called Waddy, Kentucky.
“Main Me!”
MAINE ME!
Also, I grew up in Succasunna, NJ. While it’s not a difficult word, I would constantly have to spell it for people. It means “Black Dirt” or something close to that in Lenape; and yes, the soil is very dark and rich.
MAINE ME! The oddest sounding name of a place I visited was Cochabamba in Bolivia.
MAINE ME!
This one isn’t too crazy but always makes me laugh–Dumfries, Va :)
I love this stores items–so many cool finds!!
MAIN ME!
I’ve never been to this town but I guess it’s well known for it’s abundance of
unique pottery shops…. Whynot, NC :)
MAINE ME!
Intercourse, PA
MAINE ME!
I’ve never lived anywhere with a funny name, but I laugh anytime I hear about Intercourse, PA :) Hee Hee
MAINE ME!!
I have only lived in one city, but have heard of Hobo Station, MS!!
Love the site!
MAINE ME! Bonus Question: I live in West Texas, and the stark landscape necessitates a lot of creativity when naming towns. Out here we’ve got No Trees (pretty self-explanatory), Floydada (named after town founders, Floyd and Ada), Pep (You’ve gotta have it out here!), Sundown (because of our excellent sunsets), Shallowater (the only water we’ve got), and Sudan (a bit of an overstatement, if you ask me!). Thanks, Lauri.
MAINE ME!
The only funny name I can think of is a town in NY Ho-Ho-Kus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho-Ho-Kus,_New_Jersey
Love your site!
MAINE ME!
Bacon, TX; Noodle, TX; Rice, TX (there are more but I’ll stop here)
MAINE ME!
You could always visit Do Stop, Pig, Possum Trot, Monkey’s Eyebrow, or Schochoh (pronounced like “Shock-co”) in Kentucky.
Maine Me!
How about Kickapoo, IL? Makes me laugh when I say it.
Maine Me!
Maine Me!
I’d love to go to Hell Michigan in the winter, and take a picture next to the city sign with snow on the ground. Something appeals to me about being in Hell when it’s frozen over.
Maine me! I grew up in Los Alamos, NM — people call it “Lost Almost” because it’s in the middle of nowhere and used to be a secret place.
maine me!
LOL – can’t really think of funny city names but I’m chuckling the ones in the comments so far.
MAINE ME!!
We’re big fans fo Hills, IA, b/c the only hill for miles is actually a man made on and off ramp :)
MAINE ME!!! I love visiting Kennebunkport and can’t wait to visit Spaces.
I’ve passed through Ponkapoag, MA and thought it was a great town name!
MAINE ME! I live near Walla WAlla WAshington, people always think that’s a funny name.
Maine me!
I sort of wish I lived in Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon. Alas, I’ve lived in towns with boring names.
MAINE ME!
I was born in Normal, IL.
