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.

Albie Designs Giveaway

  • PRIZE: An $100 gift card to Albie Designs on Etsy
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I LOVE [INSERT CITY NAME HERE]” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … why you love it so much. Is it a city you’re just thrilled to live in? Is a place that always makes you happy to visit? Or maybe it’s a city that you’ve never been to, but fantasize about visiting?
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Huzzah! This giveaway is available worldwide.
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Albie Designs.

    I LOVE Nashville!!! It’s home sweet home to me. I was born and raised here. Recently moved back after a decade away. I love how it’s grown and developed into a really hip city, but still maintains its hometown roots. There are so many diverse people that live here, but best of all it’s where my family is, and so it holds my heart. <3

    I LOVE ALBUQUERQUE! We moved here almost a year ago. I didn’t think we were going to like it very much, honestly. But it has turned into a good home for our family very quickly. I don’t know if she already has a print of it but I can imagine it with the mountains, a beautiful sunset, and a hot air balloon!

    I LOVE CHRISTCHURCH,NZ. My husband and I spent some time there and loved it. For a farily large city it has an amazing community feel to it and it’s beautiful. Unfortunatl, it’s been hit by a couple of devastating earthquakes in the last couple of years. I hope it can one day return to it’s former glory!

    I love Wilmington, NC. It is like a mini-Charleston and just makes me happy to walk on the boardwalk plus I have a best friend that lives there now and it is a bonus to hang out with her :) My husband and I just celebrated our five year anniversary there last summer. One of my favorite anniversaries :)

    I studied there in college, and I’ve visited many times since. I love it so much that the largest piece of art decorating my daughter’s room is a giant canvas of the London Tube Map.
