***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 SEATTLE!
While living up in Washington, I loved visiting Seattle because of the green forests surrounding it, it’s fun architecture and attractions, and how gorgeous it was on a sunny Sunday afternoon. And although I think I’d like to live there, something tells me this Sunny Southern California girl would have a hard time getting used to all the rainy days.
Carley says

I LOVE PARIS!
My husband and I honeymooned in Paris (doesn’t that just sound lovely?!) It’s the one and only “real” vacation we’ve ever gone on together, and it feels like this magical bubble of time in my memory. I don’t think that any vacation will ever live up to those seven days!
Becky A says
