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 Richmond, VA because my husband and I both from Pune, India met and fell in love here 13 years ago. It is here I fell in love with USA. . After all this while, I still vivdly remember our late night jaunts to Village cafe, drives during the fall on Monument Avenue, the organ recital on the weekends at Bryd Theatre, the Thai restaurant in Carytown and of course Bottoms Up pizza in Shockoe Bottom.
    Richmond will always always be the most romantic city in the world for me.

    I LOVE WINSTON-SALEM! It is the first place I have lived on my own post-grad school and I feel like I have made a wonderful life for myself here.

    I LOVE HALIFAX! It’s where I first moved in with my love and where we still live now. Small city, waterfront & close to family. The trifecta of a great place to live!

    I love DENVER! My husband & I moved here 10 years ago and we are still in awe of the absolutely gorgeous mountain views around us every single day…and Denver has amazing weather!

    I love CHICAGO! I had dreams of living here after a visit in college, and then my first internship was in Chicago, and I managed to stick around :) I couldn’t be happier, and although I always imagined leaving before raising a family, the more time I spend here the more I can’t imagine ever leaving!

    I LOVE SNOQUALMIE!
    It’s where we bought our first house and it’s just the sweetest small town nestled at the base of the Cascade Mountains a half hour east of Seattle. Perfect.

    “I LOVE SAVANNAH GA!!!!”

    It is where my husband and I met and fell in love. I am from GA and he is from NJ, but we now live in DC…that is a bunch of geographical locations!

    I LOVE BUFFALO NY! Born and raised, I’m a proud Buffalonian- I swear it is much more than snow and chicken wings!

    I LOVE OTTAWA!

    I moved to Ottawa about 5 years ago and it is just right for me – a little city, a little country.

    These art prints are so wonderful! I love the Chicago & NYC ones most.

    I love Buffalo! The people are the friendliest I’ve ever met, hardworking, and know how to play hard! (Those are the foundations of a good life to me.) I could go on and on….We travel a lot, usually choosing one city to get to know whenever we celebrate something, so I’ve gotten to like other cities like Portland or Boston as well, but if I had to stay in one city for the rest of my life, I’d choose Buffalo in a heartbeat. Buffalove!

    I Love Yucaipa! I know most people have probably never heard of it before, but it’s my hometown where I was born (at home) and raised until I bought my first home and moved away. I’m sure she won’t have a picture of that town, so i’ll have to peruse her store and find another city I love. :)

    I LOVE VENICE!!
    I’ve never been but I’ve always been in love with it; it’s definitely going to be my future honeymoon location – once I’ve found someone crazy enough to marry me!

    I love charleston! We just got back from a wedding there and I would move there in a heartbeat. I would probably be in trouble after eating fried green tomatoes all the time!

    I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!

    I grew up on the Jersey shore and lived only an hr south of the city. An easy drive or train ride up to the greatest city in the world is what I love to do when I go up to Jersey to visit my parents. There’s just nothing quite like the Big Apple!

    I LOVE LONDON!

    The first city I visited outside of North America, London always enchanted me with its combination of bustle and history. I enjoyed living there for six very trying months after college, and it was amazing to bring my husband there last spring for one last hurrah before we started our family.

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!!! I was born and raised in a NJ suburb of Philly, moved out West, and never thought I’d want to come back…..but did, and fell deliriously more in love with my culture-filled foodie city! Plus….I met the man of my dreams there two years ago one night…it was meant to be. :)

    I LOVE NEW YORK! My favorite thing about this place I call home is its cultural diversity. It’s one big (albeit a little stinky) melting pot!

    I love Charlotte!! What’s NOT to love about the Queen City? It’s big enough that you never run out of things to do, but small enough that it hasn’t lost its southern charm.

    I love Ann Arbor, Michigan! I moved here five years ago and have made this my home. It’s a beautiful place with lots of trees and the river meandering by.
