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 HOUSTON! It’s my hometown, where I currently live again, & although part of my heart is in Austin, Houston has certainly grown on me!

    I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS!

    My husband is from MN and at first I hated Mpls but have grown to love it. Its absolutely beautiful in the summer time and fun to see everyone walking, running, biking around the lakes.

    I Love London!

    I was born and raised there and my family and friends still live in and around the capital. Despite living in the US for the past 12 years, I still get homesick. Its a city that is diverse and so full of culture and beauty.

    I LOVE PHILLY!
    I’ve lived near Philly my whole life, but only truly “discovered” it during my college years. And now, it hold so many precious memories for me and husband, as we try to escape there every chance we get!

    I love Washington D.C.!

    I am a huge history nerd, so Washington is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the architecture, the museums, the importance, and the culture!

    I love Washington, DC. We recently moved to Richmond (and love this too), but the DC area is where my husband and I started our family and lived for many years. So many memories. It would be fun to have a whimsical print of the city.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    Even though I was born & raised outside of Boston, which I miss often…Chicago has more diverse ethnic neighborhoods, it’s cheaper to live in the city, easier to drive & park, and the architecture is far superior.

    What I miss: Seafood, Regina’s pizza, apple cider, the funky smell of salt water, mountains, the 4th of July & The Cape.

    I LOVE BOSTON! It’s been my home for the past 8 years, and I love exploring its narrow streets and always finding something new amidst its history. And you can’t beat the city view on the Mass Ave Bridge.

    I LOVEEEE SAN DIEGO.
    What’s not to love about San Diego? It’s beautiful, the weather is pretty much perfect, and the people here are so so nice. I’ve lived here for 4 years and I hope I never have to leave. :)

    I LOVE AUSTIN!

    I keep moving back. Can’t get enough. I wouldn’t live anywhere else (tried Richmond for a couple of years, actually, and it wasn’t my bag…sorry!).

    I love New Orleans! Moved there right after college and lived there for 5 years… I fell in love with the passion, the culture, the strength of the city, some amazing friends- and my husband!

    The people are wonderful, the city has so much history, and Ireland is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

    I love Pittsburgh because it’s the perfect sized city…plenty to do and see but almost feels like a small town! Can’t wait to move back!

    I LOVE PORTLAND!
    I am from Spokane, WA, and I love Spokane. For college, I moved to Portland, however, and it is perfect for my new life. Portland is just weird and artistic enough to feel like home.
