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 London! I know it’s not in the US, but I love it anyway because it’s where my Granny was born and it’s vibrant and beautiful and full of great shops :)

    What an amazing give away! My favourite city is Cape Town in South Africa, where we spent part of our honeymoon. It was just amazing and we always dream of going back. We loved it so much because of how beautiful it was, amazing scenery and a whole beach full of penguins you could walk right up to – penguins are always a winner in my book!!

    I love Dublin, Ireland. Oh and Atlanta, GA too, both places I’ve lived for years — totally difference and both home in their own way.

    I love London – it’s the city where I had fun! Moved there for university, met my husband there, worked in the West End theatre world, and then left when we decided it wasn’t so much fun as grown ups. :-(
    Now we live by the coast with our three children which we also love, and London is where we go for holidays to visit my siblings.

    I LOVE SEATTLE!
    Not only because it’s beautiful what with the combination of mountains and sea, but because that’s where all the people I love most live. Miss it much!

    I love Cape Town – it has a cool mountain, incredible beaches and the Cape Winelands just round the corner. Also, Capetonians are cool.

    I LOVE LONDON!
    I’ve been there two times and I’m going again Tuesday next week. What I love about it is that it’s strange enough to still be exciting but at the same time it’s already familiar enough to me to almost feel like home. Brilliant <3

    I love Toronto, Canada. I’m Australian, and as a child my mum and I travelled to Toronto every few years to visit my grandma. I have such special memories of it.

    I LOVE YORK!

    York is hands-down the most stunning, romantic, interesting, and beautiful city I’ve ever set foot in. The mix of Roman, medieval, Gothic, and even Georgian architecture makes you feel like you’re living in a film set. Going to York is like going home for me, even though I’m Canadian! I was happiest when living there though, and wish I could return.

    Travelling solo doesn’t have to mean travelling alone! Tours attract a lot of solo travellers, as well as couples and small groups of friends, and although the group mix inevitably varies from trip to trip, the camaraderie is usually very good. Travelling as part of a group means that you can share your incredible travel experiences with a group of like minded people

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA! because I was born there (we live in Florida now) and even though I am now a perma-child of the sun, I will always have love for my hometown (not to mention hometeams – GO FLYERS AND EAGLES!)

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!!

    It`s where I met my husband for the first time. We lived in the area for several years and it was such an amazing time!There`s so much to see and do there. Just a beautiful place. We now live in Germany but I will always remember this time as one of the happiest in our life.

    I love Edinburgh! And Chicago!

    I’m from Chicago area, so going home always makes me smile and is nice reminder of how much I love the city. I currently live in Scotland and Edinburgh is one of my favorite places to visit!

    I LOVE LOUISVILLE!!

    Louisville is mostly known for the Kentucky Derby but it seriously has Incredubly talented people, the most restaurants per capita in the US (which are crazy delicious), and parks designed by Olmstead himself (he designed Central Park in NYC). It’s a fantastic city and we hope to love here forever.

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY… where my baby girl took her very first steps, half a world away from our home town of Melbourne. She is now busily planning the ‘festival of turning 10!’

    I love Dubai! My husband and I moved here about 6 months ago and I love how culturally diverse it is here! Just our floor of our building has 6 different nationalities!

    I LOVE RICHMOND! It is an affordable place to live with great restaurants, a lot of history, and a short drive to several other cities I love.

    I LOVE ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA… It’s my home town and has so much to offer. Stunning beaches, award wining vineyards & wineries, great food and fantastic family friendly vibe, just to name a few. It’s a a little city but one with a big heart.

    I LOVE BALTIMORE!

    We lived there for three years before moving unexpectedly last summer… I still haven’t gotten over it. My heart will live there forever.
