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 NASHVILLE!

    It is where I went to college, met my husband, and where we are starting our life together. I love the mix of hometown warmth and trendiness, I love the great food, I love the southern hospitality, I love all the local restaurants and shops, I love the landscape. There is very little about this city that I DON’T love :-)

    It’s a great size – not as massive as NY, but still plenty of things to do and endless numbers of great restaurants. Plus it is super close to lots of other fun cities.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON, DC!

    I live just outside our nation’s capital and I adore it. There’s so much important work going on (or sometimes not going on, ahem, Congress), it feels cool to be in midst of it all. The architecture is incredible. It’s a seriously beautiful city. Every morning on the metro there’s a brief stretch between Pentagon and L’Enfant where we’re outside, and the view takes my breath away every time. And there are so many cool cultural things–many of which are FREE. There’s so much to love!

    I love SEATTLE, ANCHORAGE, PORTLAND, and Orange County (CA). All the places I’ve ever lived. What can I say, I love the West Coast. The Portland one is a bit of a cheat: I actually went to school in Salem, which is about 45 minutes south of P-Town…
