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 GAINESVILLE, FL! So many memories are in that little city…its where I went to undergrad and where I met my husband! But out of the cities that she has available for her art…I would say definitely Washington DC! It will always hold a special place in our hearts because we went a couple weeks after our wedding and it was on that trip that we both first felt like we were actually married! We’re going back in a couple weeks and can’t wait!!

    I LOVE SEATTLE!
    I was born there and grew up in the area. I always get a little sense of “I’m home” every time I land at SeaTac (even if I’m not living there).

    I love Baltimore!

    I went to university in Baltimore, and it was my home for many years. Although we share a love/hate relationships at times, it was where I met my partner and will always have a special place in my life.

    I love MONTREAL!

    I went to school in Montreal and believe it’s hands down the most diverse city in North America. One neighbourhood (or should I say, quartier) will feel like a hip New York block, while the next will feel like old town Paris. It has charm, romace, culture, and a young vibe. Plus if you can survive the harsh winter snows, spring time is that much more beautiful come May!

    I love Brookings, OR. it’s where I live now, on the Southern OR coast. It’s gorgeous and small and homey and lovely and I can’t say enough good things about it…including meeting my wonderful husband!

    I LOVE AUSTIN!!

    It’s not like any other city in Texas – so serene, laid back and COOL. Zilker Park with all its joggers and doggies and everybody else is an oasis right in the middle of downtown. Love it!

    I LOVE LONDON!
    It is always a blast! Great architecture, amazing museums and galerys, cool shops and yummy food from all around the world. I love that it’s so green due to all its parks since it makes you forget that you’re in such a huge city.

    I love NYC! Although I wasn’t one who dreamed of one day moving to NYC, I’m so glad that we did. I love so much about living here and am so excited that my son gets to grow up in such a great city.

    I Love Portland, Oregon! I love that it’s a big town or small city with everything you could ever want or need, including all the hipster ironic weirdness that you see on the Portlandia show.

    I LOVE ABU DHABI, UAE. I moved here two years ago with my husband and thought I would want to move back to the US ASAP, but I have found myself loving my new home! It is such a diverse mix of people and I live on the beach!

    I LOVE MUNICH! I’m from Madrid but I had to live there for three months last year for work reasons. I loved everything there, from the cute streets to the Christmas markets to the huge amount of bikes everywhere!

    I love Seoul!

    I’ve lived in Seoul, South Korea for almost 6 years. I’m moving back to Cincinnati (my hometown) in a few days and will miss this place terribly. I’m heartbroken to leave…

    I love Greifswald, Germany. It’s where I went to university and met a ton of awesome people and some very good friends. I also just moved away from there (last weekend) and miss it already like crazy!

    I LOVE Toulouse, France because this is where I grew up. I love the people, the vibe, the weather (a lot different from Nottingham, UK where I live now) and this is where my parents and brother still live. And most of all, I love a freshly baked baguette at 7am that my dad just went to get especially for me on his bike (not sure it can get any more French than this!).
