***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 PROVIDENCE!
My husband and I lived and were married in Providence, Rhode Island so the city always holds a special place in our hearts. I worked with this Etsy seller – (http://www.etsy.com/listing/87007425/8×10-matted-word-art-print-providence?ga_search_query=providence) to create a personalized word art print with the Providence skyline. I love that she was able to include items in the print that were special to us (the name of our wedding venue, my husband’s university, local charity groups we were involved in, our favorite restaurants, etc.
PS – not affiliated with the seller! Just a fan of her work!

I LOVE Seattle!! I am a lifelong Washingtonian who is spending some time in SoCal…and I am completely homesick. Seattle is gorgeous, especially in the summer/fall, which is my favorite time of year. There’s this sense of pride and community back home that I just don’t find down here. We have great musicians; everyone is super polite; there is so much to do, recreation-wise; my area is incredibly dog-friendly; the coffee is amazing…I could go on and on!
