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 LOVE THE TWIN CITIES! (Minneapolis & St. Paul)

    I was so happy when I saw she had both of these amazing cities available as prints. I was born and raised here and have been away at school for the past 4 years. I can’t wait to move back this summer after I graduate and start my own life there!

    I love San Francisco!!! I grew up there but fell in love with it all over again last week while ‘showing off’ special areas to my husband and two kids. It would be so fun to have a great little print of Chrissy Field hanging up – reminding us of that perfect day!

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    It’s the best – culture, diversity, amazing food, and a very livable city with great neighborhoods.

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH – my husband and I met here and have spent our first year of marriage here. It’s such a unique city – each neighborhood has such character. I’ve lived here for 6 years and there is still so much to explore!

    I LOVE WASHINGTON D.C.!

    I don’t live there, but I love everything about it! The metro, all the museums…I’d move there in a heartbeat! especially now that I have kids. I see Washington DC as a city with unlimited educational activities that are free! At least compared to Atlanta.

    I LOVE NEW ORLEANS. The food, the atmosphere, the music, the architecture…it’s unlike any place else I’ve been.

    I love Honolulu, HI! It’s the place where I grew out of my shy shell, meet my husband and got married…if only I could still afford to live there :)

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH!

    It is where my entire family lives and plays! I think Pittsburgh is a hidden gem. And the people here are so friendly. It’s a wonderful place to live!

    I LOVE Vancouver, BC! It’s where family is, where I want to be someday (permanently!) and it’s just a gorgeous, friendly, exciting city. Love it.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON DC!

    I’ve lived a lot of random places the past few years and I feel lucky to finally love the city I live in. Doesn’t hurt that I have great friends here.

    I LOVE NEW ORLEANS! I’ve lived in Chicago since 1989 – I was in junior high when we moved here – but all of my family is still in New Orleans and I still feel like I’m from there, even though I’ve lived in Chicago way longer than I ever lived there!

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO! I lived there for just over two years before I got married (and moved to the middle of NOWHERE) and it’s my favorite place of all time.

    I love Lahaina, Hawaii!
    My husband and I honeymooned in Maui this past December and it was the most beautiful, calming place I’ve ever been to. I would love a reminder of the area hanging on my wall!

    I LOVE AMES!
    I grew up an Army brat, so Ames was the first city where *I* got to choose where I lived. I eventually moved away after college, but it’ll always have a special place in my heart!

    I LOVE CHARLOTTE, NC! My husband and I lived in the desert (NM) our whole lives until just 2 years ago, and we just love the big change that Charlotte has brought to us! Green, green green!

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    I really try to love Detroit, since I live in the Detroit Metro Area. But Chicago has so much to offer, so much more than Detroit these days. Plus, I grew up much closer to Chicago than Detroit, making me a little biased to begin with.

    I LOVE WAILEA! Spending time on the beach on that side of Maui with my family is my most favorite thing to do in the whole world. It is most definitely my happy place. :)

    I LOVE LONDON! I can’t wait to visit someday. As an English major and lover of classic literature, I think it will feel like home to finally visit.
