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.

Albie Designs Giveaway

  • PRIZE: An $100 gift card to Albie Designs on Etsy
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I LOVE [INSERT CITY NAME HERE]” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … why you love it so much. Is it a city you’re just thrilled to live in? Is a place that always makes you happy to visit? Or maybe it’s a city that you’ve never been to, but fantasize about visiting?
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Huzzah! This giveaway is available worldwide.
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

    I LOVE NEW YORK!

    I’ve been living in NY for the past 2-3 years but I think I would go with the London print since that’s one of the cities my hubs and I visited on our honeymoon :)

    We live in my hometown…a small island in Lake Michigan, but my husband grew up on the north shore of Chicago. We go a few times a year to visit family, and always have a blast! It is such a fun city!

    I LOVE Dallas!

    I’m from the Dallas area, and it’s just so convenient. Traffic is never SO bad that you want to die, and I personally enjoy driving everywhere.

    If I won, I’d get the St. Louis or Chicago prints. I went to school in Missouri and my boyfriend is from St. Louis, so it has special meaning to me. And right now he lives in Chicago, and I’d love to give him that print to put on his walls!
