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 also love Durham, NC. We moved there straight after we got married and it’s where we became a real family and settled into our lives together.

    I’ve got love for Stockbridge, GA!!! Fond memories of growing up in a small town that’s now gotten so much more populated each time I visit. (I now live on the West Coast)…oh and I have to say, NYC will always have a piece of my heart. Such a Great City…I’ll never get tired of visiting!! Love, Love, Love!!! :)

    I love Seattle! The hubs and I went there on our kind-of-honeymoon, and it was just everything we were looking for. And I love Paris – doesn’t everyone?

    I LOVE RVA!! I came here to work in politics and found so much more… my husband, the friends who have become my family, music, art, food. It’s a a great place to raise kids and teach them about history, culture and diversity, and we get the best of a city and a small town feel… what doesn’t Richmond have to offer?!

    I love Hilton Head Island, SC! It’s like stepping into a remote tropical island- absolutely gorgeous. It’s where my extended family, myself and my husband vacation every year and absolutely love it. Wonderful place to visit for people who like to stay active and bike!

    I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS! I’ve lived here for 15 years, nearly half my life! I’ve loved it since the minute I moved here for college, so much that I never left. :)

    I love Harrisonburg, VA – it’s where my husband and I went to school, met, fell in love and re-visit each year (now with our daughter) for Football games! GO DUKES!

    I LOVE GUELPH!

    I highly doubt she will have a print of my favourite city, but I fell in love with it when I was going into grade 10, and made it my goal to go to university here. I came, I received two degrees, and I’m still here. The City feels like a small town, everyone recognizes each other, we are the volunteering capital of Canada, there is a lot of history in the buildings and neighbourhoods, and we are easily commutable to other major cities. We are enough into the countryside that you don’t notice how close the sprawl of Toronto is. The entire city is walkable or bikeable, and you can even canoe a good portion of it, too!

    I LOVE BRUGES, BELGIUM!

    I spent a week there when I did my trip across Europe in college. I have great memories of being with my friends there and experiencing life with the locals. I would love to go back now that I’m older and can see things with a different perspective than I did at 20.

    I LOVE LA! I always said that Southern California spoils you… and despite a few sojourns out of state for school, I keep coming back to the place I grew up.

    I LOVE CHICAGO! It’s where I currently live, and despite the prospect of 8 inches of snow tomorrow, is a great place. :)

    I love San Diego! It’s my favorite city in the country – the weather, the ocean, the people, the proximity to Mexico, ….

    I LOVE BOSTON,MA! It’s beautiful because there’s so much diversity in the people and in the seasons. And the history is so rich, too!

    You said it perfectly: her work really is charming.
