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…

    I LOVE LONDON!
    I wanted to live here since I was a little girl and really think it’s the best place in the world. Of course it’s expensive and crowded, but that’s because people want to be here. And they want to be here because it’s great. So happy to think of my girls growing up as Londoners.

    I love Cedar City, UT.

    I know, not very out there, but I went to collage there. It is beautifully nestled up against the mountains, has a wonderfully cute main street, great weather, lots of outdoor activities, and the college is great. Everytime I drive through these days it still feels like a little piece of home.

    We’re relatively new to town, but this place has a growing food scene, lots of cultural activities, a very diverse population (although it’s segregated, sadly), and it’s not too big.

    Well, that’s not strictly true. We’re a pretty dysfunctional town in a lot of ways. But I love the setting, nestled between the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, next to Puget Sound where the ferries bustle industriously from the city to the islands.
