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 Paris!

    My father is French, so I studied French all my life. Getting to go is like being transported into another world filled with amazing food, architecture, and history.

    I love Chicago, i guess :) although I’d much rather be almost anywhere than a big city, chicago is my “home” city so there’s a fondness there.

    I LOVE SEATTLE! It was the first city I moved to after college and where I met my husband. It will always hold special memories for me.

    I LOVE FLORENCE! I visited this Etsy shop and saw the Florence print of the Ponte Vecchio… I lived in Florence for a summer in college and my apartment overlooked the river and Ponte Vecchio. It was beautiful. We would sit in the window and watch the people and listen to the music, it was an amazing summer.

    I LOVE Chicago my always home, though I haven’t lived there in 6 years now I am hoping to end up there eventually because it is a magical mix of real midwestern people, big city busy and niches for everyone and everyone shares the lake front which I think is the best way to have such an amazing landscape belong to the city rather than a rich few.

    I LOVE Coronado, CA. It’s across the bay from San Diego but it just has a small town feel and a slower pace of life. Last week I had 3 days off of work so I went and stayed one night there. Yeah, the airfare was pricey but I just needed some sunshine and warmth. Indiana isn’t known for it’s warm and sunny winters.

    I LOVE PROVIDENCE! This little New England city has so many things to offer. From the arts and cultures to sports and recreational events, and not to mention, great food in variety. This city is changing better and better each year.

    I LOVE Karlskrona, Sweden!

    It’s a small city in southern Sweden! I love it because my heritage stems from there. My great grandparents were born in Karlskrona and immigrated to the US, but some of their siblings stayed in Sweden.

    I didn’t know that we had any living family left in Sweden until one day my mormor (mother’s mother) and I were talking about Sweden and she gave me a few of their names. I looked them up on Facebook and found that there were more than a dozen or so who were still alive! That was a few years ago, and I have since visited Karlskrona! And I love to keep in touch with my new found family, and I think of them often!

    I LOVE MILWAUKEE (and SAN FRANCISCO)!

    MKE has the best brew tours ever and the summer festivals cannot be beat! San Francisco is special since that’s where my husband is from, so it’s meaningful to both of us.

    I LOVE ATLANTA! Grew up here and then moved away for a while to help me appreciate it. Then I met my husband 10 days after moving back!

    I LOVE Sydney….it’s never really felt like home, but it’s where I live with the hubby and my two littles, and, as they say, home is where the heart is!

    I love Chicago, my always home. Though I haven’t lived there in 6 years I hope to end up there in the next 5 because it is a magical mix of real midwestern people, busy city, and niches for everyone– not to mention the amazing shared lake front!

    I love SAN FRANCISCO — the beautiful city by the bay that we are lucky enough to call home! There is so much to do, see, and experience packed into our 7×7 sq miles!

    I LOVE Traverse City! It’s a beautiful city on Grand Traverse Bay and there is so much to do between skiing, wine tasting, sailing, etc.

    I LOVE INDIANAPOLIS!

    My husband and I met there 4 years ago, and it’s just a GREAT city; big enough to have awesome stuff always happening, and small enough to know people in your neighborhood and run into people all the time… LOVE it.

    I LOVE INDIANAPOLIS! I love Indy because it’s where I’ve grown up, but it’s also such a great city. It’s not too big and scary, we always feel like we can drive downtown for a date night and it’s not a huge inconvenience. Plus – Go Colts! We love it :)
