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 Winnipeg (Canada)! My boyfriend and I have both grown up here, both of our families are here and now we have a home of our own to grow into here and raise a family in our lovely city! I love how we have a full 4 seasons here and there is so much pride in the people who are full time Winnipeggers. We are very blessed to have a such a lovely community here in our small city.
    Also, because we are new homeowners we’re also in the market for some new art for our bare walls, and this would be a perfect (and unique!) way to show off our love for our city and our home!

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA! It’s where I was born, where I went to college, and where I met my sweetheart. And the food rocks.

    I have the fondest memories of leisurely meals in Lahaina and days spent lazing on the beautiful beaches…

    I LOVE DC!
    I’ve lived just outside DC almost my whole life, love it here & love downtown because it has so much to offer but isn’t huge.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!! I was raised in the suburbs, moved away from college and after college and I’m finally moving into the city in a month. As long as I find an apartment :)

    I LOVE LONDON!
    My husband and I asked ourselves where in the world would be fun to live and raise our family and we both enthusiastically agreed on London! We put ourselves on a five year plan to get here and then we actually did it! (Though having met and married in Seattle, that city also has my heart. <3)

    I LOVE SEATTLE! I was born not too far from there, and called it home for 2/3 of my life. But to be fair I now need to say I ALSO LOVE MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL since that is where this last 1/3 of my life has been.

    I love DETROIT!!! I grew up just outside Detroit and it’s a city that doesn’t get enough love – but it’s really beautiful and I feel like it’s primed for a comeback!

    I LOVE BOSTON!
    I have never lived there but every time we’ve visited I had a great time. I like that the city is very cultural. A lot of good schools and universities around.
    I live in San Diego now and I love the weather but maybe I need time to get to know the city a little more.

    I love Richmond! My husband and I met at the University of Richmond and spent our first four years together there so it’s a special city for us! We live right outside of DC now but would live to move back south someday :)

    I LOVE LOS ANGELES! Because it’s where I’ve called home for 7.5 years, and it will be home for the foreseeable future :)

    I love Amsterdam!
    I’m Dutch and Amsterdam represents some of the most amazing times I’ve had in my life when I studied abroad and was able to travel through Europe.

    I LOVE SAN LUIS OBISPO!

    lived here most of my life, and it’s just perfect- weather, population size, countryside, wine, food, people…everything!

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!!

    I’ve been living here for a 1.5 years now and it never ceases to surprise me with its beauty. There’s so much more to it than the smelly downtown area — it is made of mountains and beaches and all the wonderful people I love so much.

    I LOVE London! I love the variety of people and experiences and all the things to do. I could never be bored (although very likely broke!)

    I love Los Angeles. It’s my hometown and the city where I live in now. It’s covered with trees and flowers and fantastic architecture and undiscovered nooks. It’s surrounded by the beach and the mountains and the desert and there are days in the winter where you can be wearing a sundress and driving through avenues lined with palm trees and see snow on the mountains.

    I love SAN FRANCISCO. Where we always went for field trips when I was in junior high. Felt so wild and free-spirited in the mid-1970s.

    I LOVE DENVER!!

    Get the downtown city feeling, while still only being an hour from hiking and skiing. Wonderful place to live :)

    I LOVE Tulsa, OK!! I called it home for the majority of my life and every once and a while I find myself daydreaming about a McNellies run on Wednesday for burgers and beer.

    I LOVE AUSTIN!!!

    I grew up there & moved away a couple years ago for school & I miss it so much. I can’t wait until we move back home for good in just a few more years!

    I LOVE DC!

    Walking past the White House or across the national mall never gets old. One minute, you’re slogging to work, but then the next, you’re looking up at one of our national treasures! Whenever the tourists or the bureaucracy gets me down, the sights remind me why I call this place home.
