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 PORTLAND!

    Currently we call Portland home – land of the too-cool hipsters, coffee and beer aficionados and of course the avid outdoor extremists. Love this city!

    I LOVE NEW ORLEANS!!! The city is pure magic, absolutely anything can happen there. The food, the people, the music, what’s not to love?!

    I LOVE BOSTON!

    Never been there, but one of my best friends lives there and so if it’s good enough for her, I guess I should plan a visit out there soon.

    I love St Louis, MO. It’s where my daughter lives, and I miss her a lot! I has an incredible park which is host to great museums and an arch to beat all other arches!!

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH!!!
    I grew up about 45 minutes away, the city is awesome, the sports teams are usually good, the history is great and yet I was far enough away to get to spend time in my little rural area with no big city noise.

    I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!!
    Loved it since my Grandpa used to take me on BART from Berkeley to SF and I thought it was so cool to ride on a train under the bay. Then we would go get ice cream :)

    I love RICHMOND! It’s the city my husband and I live in, and it feels more like home than any other place I’ve lived. Rich in history, lots of outdoor activities, great food options, and a perfect combo of city/suburban lifestyle.

    I love Pittsburgh!
    I moved here for college, and I am madly in love. I’ll be so sad if I ever move away, because it’s become my home!

    I LOVE DURHAM! It’s where I live, where I met my husband, it has tons of undiscovered/super-cool-without-being-too-terribly-hipster places.

    I LOVE LONDON! (sometimes I also love where I live – SEATTLE.) I’m a total anglophile – I did a study abroad in London, majored in English history, and am currently dating a Brit! :D

    I LOVE NOLA!
    Lived there as a kid…there isn’t one single reason I love it but it is different than most cities in many ways…different, fun, unique!

    I love Houston!

    I love the diversity, the food options, the fantastic grocery stores and variety of shopping, the culture, the family that lives here, and the noise the big city makes on a daily basis.

    I LOVE DETROIT!! Because it’s where I live, work and play. And though we might be down, we are NEVER out. It’s my home :)

    I LOVE CHICAGO! I travel all over for work and I always love coming home to Chicago. It has all of the excitement and bustle of NYC but its much cleaner and the people are nicer. I’m also born and raised in Chicago so I have a ton of memories here, like it’s where I met my husband, etc.

    I LOVE NYC! I’ll take any excuse to visit…I love that every time I’ve been there, there has been something new and different and fun to see or do.

    I love RICHMOND!! We just moved here a year and a half ago form DC (which we also loved). Richmond is just so small-towny!

    I LOVE CHICAGO! It is the first place I have lived that felt like home, and this is coming from a girl who has lived in 9 cities in 4 different states. The people are friendly but honest, the weather is erratic, the food is terrible for you and the sports teams range from awesome to worst in the country. We have serious pride here and I never want to live anywhere else.

    I LOVE PORTLAND! But I want 3 of those Eugene prints to give to all my good friends who went to U of O – it will be like a grown-up version of a best friends necklace.
