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.

Albie Designs Giveaway

  • PRIZE: An $100 gift card to Albie Designs on Etsy
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I LOVE [INSERT CITY NAME HERE]” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … why you love it so much. Is it a city you’re just thrilled to live in? Is a place that always makes you happy to visit? Or maybe it’s a city that you’ve never been to, but fantasize about visiting?
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Huzzah! This giveaway is available worldwide.
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!
    It has the prefect combination of natural beauty and city life, plus it’s where I met my husband (well, actually just north, in Marin Country, but close enough!) AND it’s my kidlet’s favorite place to visit ’cause he loves transportation and SF’s got a zillion different kinds.

    I LOVE the SAN JUAN ISLANDS.

    We were married there and the resort where we stayed is low-key but one of my favorite places in the world. One day I’d like to retire on one of the islands (in my dreams). :)

    I studied abroad in Florence, Italy in the fall of 2002. It’s been 10 years since I was there, but it will always be a “home” to me. Some nights when I have trouble sleeping, I walk the streets of Florence in my mind…

    I LOVE SF!

    Although I would never live there for a handful of reasons, San Fran holds a special place in my heart. My husband and I got married at City Hall there just over four years ago and we visit about once a year. We have family in Marin and I always feel so happy crossing the Golden Gate into the city! We’ve celebrated a few happy anniversaries there too.

    I lived there for 12 yrs, met my husband there and my 2 girls were born there. It’s a wonderful city full of history and culture – there is so much to see and do (even after 12 yrs) Although we love our new home in Canada, London will always hold a special place in our hearts!
