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.

    The reason being, my husband and I have one goal in mind… to move back! We lived there as a “layover” in 2009 while we were on a nearly 2 year adventure ( http://www.dbkayak.com ) and we fell in love with it. We have spent our time since, figuring out how to move back.

    If I had to pack up all my things and move to one city tomorrow, I’d choose Florence. It’s the perfect size, I could walk every where, I’d be surrounded by art and of course, the wonderful delicious food. And gelato – can’t forget the gelato.

    I LOVE Atlanta because there is always something to do! Whether it is some live music in the park, FREE Saturday’s at the High Museam of Art, a grand opening for a store, club or restaurant, you can have a night (or day) on the town every day of the year if that’s what you wanted to do. Although we are a big city, we’re not too big like say NYC or LA but we’re big enough to have a great deal of variety to find something to fit everyone’s tastes! The weather is awesome (just not today…it’s grey and rainy) with mild winters, colorful spring’s and nice hot summers. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else!!!
