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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Albie Designs.

    I love St. Louis! We have a bad reputation as “dangerous” (due to a narrow city limit and unaccounted surrounding communities to bring up the averages), but I find it to be family-friendly with TONS of free events. I love summer-time picnics combined with free outdoor theatre!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    I lived in Seattle for several years after graduating from college, and imagine that someday I’ll return there. The city is beautiful, and it has some of the best restaurants, bars, and outdoor activities in the country. I dream about the little craft cocktail bars and organic food markets. Great place to live, best place to visit!

    It’s my favorite city I’ve visited so far. My family went with my dad last year when he was running the Boston Marathon and we all fell in love with the city! The sights are great, the people were friendly, and the food was ah-mazing.

    I was born and raised in the Buffalo, NY area and think it is such an under appreciated city. Its got all the usual city attractions with the friendliness of a small town, is a stone’s throw from both Niagara Falls and Canada, and did I mention we invented the Buffalo wing?

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    I dreamt about living here for ages, and now that I do, it has lived up to my dreams! I love the laid-back attitude of its people, I love the eco-friendliness that seems to run strong in every local company, I love its lakes, its sunsets and the tech-savvy-ness of the town. I love that it has all the goods of a city, yet everyone seems to be outdoorsy. And who wouldn’t? We have mountains to hike over the weekend just a short drive away! I love its mountains. I LOVE SEATTLE :)

    My best friend from college lives in Pittsburgh, and I love visiting her there. I definitely love city life, but now that I have children, most cities do not seem to be kid-friendly. I think Pittsburgh is the most family-friendly city I have ever been to, with so many things to do!
