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 St Louis and I’m so excited to see she has a print of the city already. Super easy to pick out because of the arch.

    I LOVE BIRMINGHAM!

    I don’t live there now but it’s where I grew up and still “home” to me. It’s a big city with small town charm. :)

    I LOVE STONE HARBOR (NJ)!

    Favorite vacation spot ever! Nice little shore town that has yet to be invaded by too many tourists. (So, shh, keep it secret)

    I love Siena! It is a beautiful Italian city that holds all the romance of Italy and people who are lovely and welcoming.

    I LOVE ATLANTA!! I love how Downtown, midtown, buckhead and the burbs all have their own personalities and draws. I love where our city is going too- streetcars, the belt line and more and more emphasis being put on navigating thru all the little neighborhoods by bike!

    I LOVE NEW ORLEANS!

    Years before I ever visited, I knew it would feel like home. Five minutes into my first visit, I knew I had been right all along.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON D.C.

    It may be a hugely popular tourist destination, but there are tons of hidden gems for locals too. And I’m happy to call it home. :-)

    I love Atlanta!

    My husband and I lived there for a year while I completed an internship and a landscape design firm. I loved the vibe of Midtown, going to Piedmont Park, and the great people I met there!

    I LOVE RICHMOND! I moved away for three years, and was homesick every single day. It’s where I’m from, where my family is, where I met my husband, and where we’ll raise whatever family we decide upon. It’s home.

    I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!
    Living close but not living there is awesome for us! Less expensive yet we still get to enjoy the rich culture, and let’s not forget the shopping…

    I LOVE AMSTERDAM!

    And not for the reasons most tourists are thinking about. I love Amsterdam because of the coziness, the many canals, the shops in “de 9 straatjes”, the pigeons (ok.. Not really), the open minded people, the brown cafés.
    In comparison with other cities, is Amsterdam small. But you have everything there, and you can do everything you want!

    I LOVE KIEV!

    It will always be my home, though I’ve lived here in the U.S. for over half my life now. The city has been through so much in its history, yet it’s still strong, beautiful, and a thriving cultural center with amazing people.

    I LOVE VANCOUVER! I don’t live there, wish I did. Where else can you find mountains, ocean, and delicious food all in one amazing city? Love, love, love!

    I LOVE ST LOUIS!

    We live about 5 hours away but have visited with the kids several times. The gateway arch is amazing, and I love that you can sit in Busch Stadium to watch the cardinals play baseball and see the arch from the stands. They even mow an arch into the grass on the field!

    I love Baltimore!

    I was born and raised in Baltimore and it holds a special place in my heart. Home of the current Superbowl champs!! What I love most about Baltimore is how close we are to so much, only 45 minutes to our nations capital, or a few hours to the beach or an hour to the mountains. So much to do, so close, so little time!!

    I LOVE URBANNA!
    Virginia, that is! Home of the Oyster Festival, it is a port town on the Rappahannock River. I love this little “Mayberry” of a town because its people are so friendly.
