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…SEATTLE! We live in the surrounding suburbs and I love that I can enjoy the big city life of plays, concerts, shopping, etc. and still be home and cozy in less than 30 minutes. I also love the beauty of nature that is all around, oh and COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE!

    I love Durango, Colorado.

    My husband and I went on our first lunch “date” in Durango, where neither of us lived at the time, in 2006. Little did we know we would be back in 2008 for the birth of our first son and again in 2010 for the birth of our second. I love Durango because it’s where my sweet, sweet dreams of a beautiful family all came true.

    I LOVE NYC!!

    I went to school outside the city and went every chance I could! Every time I go back to visit friends it feels like I’ve come home.

    I LOVE PORTLAND! The rain keeps the air clean and invigorating, the people are laid back with a much more causal style than Seattle, and the local DIY spirit is strong!

    I love Atlanta!

    I went to college in Atlanta and we now live close by. Also have a soft spot for Chicago since that’s where we lived in our newlywed days.

    I LOVE BALTIMORE! I grew up here and am finally back after a 4 year hiatus. I love the people, the culture and the food. There’s no place I’d rather be!

    I love Ottawa! From skating on the frozen canal, to maple sugar tree tapping for syrup, to hot breezy summers, to perfect red fall leaves, every season is SO perfect and beautiful! Oh Canada!

    I LOVE PORTLAND! I’ve lived here for the last two years and it’s been an amazing city to spend my days in. There’s amazing people, food, and things to do! This year my husband I applied to graduate school and there’s a good chance we’ll be moving to a new city. I’ll miss pdx so much, and would love to have a print to hang in my house in whatever new city I end up in :)

    I love Pittsburgh! I lived there for nearly five years. It’s a city with the benefits and awesomeness of a metro area like museums, parks, lots of things to do but it feels like a small town to me. I miss being able to walk to everywhere that I needed to go. I miss the awesome library, the conservatory, the farmers markets, and the parks.

    I LOVE CHARLESTON! (The South Carolina one.) It’s just a really wonderful place to live; just when its charms start to seem ordinary, you turn down a street you haven’t seen in awhile, or cross a bridge just at the most gorgeous sunset, and it hits you all over again.

    I love Philly! I grew up and went college there, and even though I live in DC now, Philly will always have a special place in my heart as “home.”

    I LOVE BOSTON AND SAN FRANCISCO! How can I choose? I call the Bay Area home now, but my family lives near Boston and I dream of living in a brownstone there!

    I LOVE ST. LOUIS!

    Our museums are free and open to the public, and there are tons of interesting neighborhoods with unique character packed into a compact area. We have big city opportunities, and small town friendliness!

    I LOVE DURHAM, NC! It’s just the best city! We’ve lived in a few different cities and visited many, and this is our very favorite. We are so lucky to live here.

    I love DC! Got bitten by the bug when I interned on the Hill for a summer as an undergraduate and came back for law school. Now it is home.
