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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Albie Designs.

    I LOVE CHATTANOOGA!!! It’s got beauty and brains with its’ mountainous landscape and the Tennessee River flowing through it. Our city is home to thousands of creative citizens who are working to ever improve our city. I am a Hoosier by birth, but a Chattanoogan by choice. (It doesn’t hurt that this is where my husband and I are settled and started our family).

    It is the most wonderful city to live in, with fabulous weather and lots of hidden pockets of sweet neighborhoods scattered all around. Everything is close – the ocean, the mountains, the desert, the big city – but we don’t have the nasty traffic!

    I LOVE ALBUQUERQUE!

    I didn’t always, since I’ve lived here my whole life, but that old adage that distance makes the heart grow fonder was true for me, and now I’m back for good. There is really no place like it: it’s beautiful, diverse, just the right size, and I have green and red chile readily available to me all year long.

    …because it’s the only city I’ve lived in for my entire adult life (not counting college) and it has so much to offer. Also, because there are no skyscrapers. I think that makes the city so much more beautiful than other cities in the U.S.

    “I LOVE CHARLOTTESVILLE!” After traveling around the world and to all 50 U.S. states, my hubby and I choose to live in Charlottesville back in 1997. To us, it is the. perfect. place. to call home. We love the Downtown pedestrian mall. We love the blue-ness of the politics. We love the three-degrees-of-separation (rather than seven) of knowing people. Even my license plate says: ILOVCVL. Maybe Kimberly will do a Cville City-scape for me….
