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 Paris. In the spring, summer, or fall (probably even in winter even though I’ve never been there during that season).

    I LOVE MANHATTAN!

    It was the place that my husband and I first traveled to when dating. He proposed to me there on our second trip. I love that there is so much to see and do.

    I love Paris, the city where I turned 18 and returned to again ia decade and some later! The history, the walking, the cheese, the wine, the art, the beautifully dressed people.

    I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS! I grew up here and finally got to move back a few months ago. I love all the culture, the local music, the biking paths, the city lakes, the skyline and the people.

    I love Charleston, South Carolina. It’s where my husband is from although we live in Portsmouth, Virginia. We love to visit and I tell him it’s the only place I would move if we had to move for some reason (that and maybe Nags Head, NC–love it there). All of our family is in the immediate area though so we’re not going anywhere! There’s something about palm trees though…

    I love Boston! I went to college here and came back for more four years after I graduated with my fiancé in tow. Love the soul of the city and all the fun New England adventures, like leaf peeping in the fall.

    I LOVE Richmond, VA because it is where I am from. I had to leave the warmer South for the colder North (Buffalo, NY) because of my hubby’s job! I would pick a Richmond print for sure!

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH!

    Because who doesn’t love a city with 3 rivers, The Penguins, and a food chain famous for putting french fries and coleslaw on your sandwich [Primanti Bros.]?!?

    I LOVE CHICAGO!!!

    I moved to this city 7 years ago when I graduated from college knowing no one, having no family nearby…completely alone…and determine to make it! 7 years later I can say I still love this city, found my husband (the man of my dreams) and look forward to starting our family here in Chicago. What’s not to love about this city? It has great food, plenty of activities, great public transportation, and a Midwest culture.

    I love Atlanta!

    Atlanta is the city where I met my husband and where our 3 children were born. Atlanta made us a family.
