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! Growing up in Seattle I think I took for granted all the beautiful nature that surrounds such an artistic city. Looking at the unique skyline with gorgeous Mt Rainier as the backdrop..mmmm can’t get much better than that.

    I love Pasadena! It’s family friendly, walkable and has a great number of fun shops, restaurants and great architecture. It’s also a good distance from beaches, mountains, trails…what more could you ask for?

    I LOVE RICHMOND!

    It has the best of both worlds — amazing arts, culture, restaurants, shopping and nature, without the annoyances of a bigger city.

    I LOVEEEE DALLAS! Born and raised for 23 years, including college and marriage AND 1st apartment with the hubs and pup. Three years ago, we made the move to South TX and I’ve missed Dallas more and more the longer I am away. Love the art!

    I love San Francisco! Although I have never had the pleasure of being a resident, my grandpa was born there is 1916 and lived there for 85 years! I feel at home when I am there.

    It’s been a few years since I moved away, but I still hear the siren song of that magical land of my early-20’s!

    I LOVE Williamsburg (if you can call Williamsburg a “city”)!

    I’ve spent the last three years in Williamsburg and I absolutely love it. It’s quiet and small, but it still has a college town feel.

    I love Washington, DC! It was my home for many years until I was forced to leave to take care of family issues. I love it and miss it every day!

    I LOVE NYC! I know… So does everyone else. But, I’ve always felt like it was the center of the universe! My husband proposed to me in NYC while ice skating in 2009. Best place in the world!

    I love New Orleans! Born and raised in Virginia, but I’m proud to call NOLA home. A rich cultural heritage, an arts scene in the midst of a true renaissance, and friendly people are just a few of the reasons why New Orleans is quite simply one of the best cities in the world.

    I love Chicago! I was born and raised near the city. My husband and I would spend all of our anniversaries there. I live in “smalltown” NC now, but the windy city will always have a special place in my heart!

    I LOVE STATEN ISLAND!

    My husband and I are born and bred Staten Islanders.

    You can take the girl out of Shaolin, but you can’t take the Shaolin outta the girl.
