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 <3 San Francisco!

    While the Presidio is enveloped in a mystical fog, the Mission is nothing but sunshine…I love the microclimates!

    I love Winnipeg! People make fun of me and I don’t care, I love my hometown. Skating on the river and living close to a ton of lakes is great.

    I love Seattle!

    I grew up in the desert and moving to a city with rain ALL THE TIME is actually my dream come true. Best part? Running in the rain.

    I LOVE OAKLAND. I lived there for about four years and find it to be very charming. Great restaurants, close to SF, and easy access to hiking and nature trails.

Here is where I am married. Here is where my kids are born and this is the city that has my heart. I dont think I am moving anywhere :)

    I LOVE Sonoma.

    I’m not even sure I can convey why, except I spent much of my childhood vacations there. Nostalgia + beauty + an awesome town square (that, I will say, is getting a wee more touristy than I like) = love, plain and simple. My grandparents are in the old and hilly cemetary, as are my great grandparents and more. It’s not just wine country; it’s cow county, too. Farmers are the coolest.

    Wow. Those are some random thoughts.

    I LOVE SEWARD!!
    My parents both grew up in Seward, AK. I have so many great childhood memories from there and worked my way through college on tour boats. It really is one of the best places on earth!!

    I LOVE RICHMOND!

    My favorite part about the city is the way we repurpose our buildings, rather than tearing them down. So cozy, so lovely.

    I LOVE DURBAN! (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) I’ve grown up here and despite having travelled extensively I’ve never found another city quite like this one!

    I love Seattle.

    There’s nothing like Seattle.
    The briny scent of fish and saltwater mingles with the city’s electric humming as the sun sets behind the neon Pike’s Place Market sign, with the Olympic mountains silhouetted in the background. It’s breathtaking and soothing all in one glimpse. Walking a ways out on the pier, the city lights shimmer reflections on the water. The waves lap on the dock as a water taxi silently glides past.
    There’s nothing like Seattle.

    I LOVE PALM SPRINGS, CA!

    Perfect weather most of the year, palm trees, Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas breakfast on the patio. Snow only,in the mountains which look spectacular all year.

    I LOVE PROVIDENCE. It’s a small city often forgotten but I went to college there and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

    I love Lahaina! My husband and I had the best vacation to Maui and loved walking around Lahaina after a long day exploring the island, eating The Best Shave Ice EVER from Ululani’s. It was just such a charming place to be despite being “touristy”.

    I love Austin, TX because it is the best drinking city in America. I also love San Francisco because it is beautiful and it’s home plus our sports teams have been o’ rockin’ this year!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    I have lived in Washington my whole life and still feel compelled to act like a complete tourist everytime I visit that city. So much to do and such a big focus on art/music.

    I LOVE NASHVILLE! I live about a half hour outside of Nashville, TN and I’ve always thought it was such a charming city, and also it’s the perfect size – not too big, not too small.

    I LOVE CHICAGO AND I LOVE SEATTLE and just looking at those gorgeous pictures, I have no idea which one I would pick.

    I love Chicago because it is the most gorgeous Midwestern city out there with a rich history. I fell in love with it when I was dating a boy who I loved slightly less than his city. I’m still grateful to him for introducing me to it.

    I love Seattle because it’s where I moved three years ago when I got married. My husband is from Zimbabwe, I’m from Indiana, and Seattle was totally new to the both of us, and now it feels like ours.

    You guys have the best giveaways. You’re swell.
