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 RICHMOND!

    This is where we’ve built our little family, and although we’re not native Richmonders we are happy to call it our home.

    I Love Palm Springs! It’s our favorite romantic getaway, about 90 minutes from home, yet a world away. We got engaged there, and still love to bask in the heat and gaze at the beautiful mountains.

    I LOVE CINCINNATI! I have lived here my whole life. There’s so much to do and it just keeps improving. There’s so much to do no matter what you’re interests are!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    …because you can recycle and yard waste nearly everything, we just helped pass marriage equality, and when the sun is out it makes everyone in the city giddy.

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH!

    I’ve lived my entire life in Pittsburgh… love to visit other places… but Pittsburgh will always be home. I love the trees… the hills… the wildlife… everything. I was raised here, fell in love, got married, gave birth and am raising my daughter here. One stop shop! :)

    I love New Orleans! I gre up nearby and always appreciated the city, but didn’t grow to love it until I moved here. People in New Orleans appreciate the differences and are happy to have you as a part of the celebration no matter what – there’s no other city like it.

    I love Orlando! I moved here and found Disney, my husband, the slow food movement, and so much more.

    Orlando fits our lives and it’s where we want to stage our live long love story!

    Would love to win and find a young-house-love of our own to put it in! Til then, we are apartment chic and living it up in O-town.

    I LOVE EDINBURGH!

    I visited for the first time this summer, and immediately was drawn to all the history, especially for contributions to medicine and literature. It just seemed like a place where I could endlessly learn about the past and be inspired by it!

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY! I moved there right after college and have only recently left (reluctantly). NYC has a charm to it, and once it gets you it doesn’t let go.

    I have lived here for three years now and everyday I still find something new to love about this city, from the bay, the bridges, the architecture and the stunning views, to the people, neighborhoods and parks. It makes me so happy to live here
