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 Charleston, West Virginia! It’s the states capital city but has a small town feel, and there are lots of people interested in seeing it become better and better.

    I LOVE ANN ARBOR!

    It’s a small town with a ton of character and no shortage of things to do. I am so excited to have settled here!

    I LOVE London. I visited there with my husband a few years ago, and it was a magical trip. Great food, beautiful city, and a great memory. I’d love to go back someday.

    I LOVE MILWAUKEE!

    Our family recently moved from Milwaukee. It had more to offer than I ever dreamed. It was a fantastic place to raise our family for the 4 years we were there.

    I love Phoenix!

    It’s where I grew up, just about all of my family lives here, and the weather is great (I am one of those weirdos).

    I love Bucaramanga, Colombia. It’s where my husband was born and they have the most perfect weather all year round.

    I LOVE PORTLAND, OR!
    It has the greatest mix of cultures and art and food! And those that are used to the rain secretly love it, we know what makes the grass and shrubs green here. I was born and raised here, so no matter where else I go, Portland will always feel like home to me.

    I love (maybe) Denver!
    I just moved to Denver from San Francisco, but grew up in the South and have traveled all over. I’m still waiting to feel like I have a “home” city.

    I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS! It’s where I truly started believing in myself, grew my career, found the love of my life and birthed our first born!

    I LOVE Asheville, in the beautiful mountains of western NC!!
    I lived there from the ages of 8-18, and have been hoping for an opportunity to live there again someday (I am 47 now)m Asheville’s downtown has been totally revitalized, it is home of the largest privately-owned Biltmore House (think Downton Abbey, American-style), is culturally relevant, and busting over with things to do, especially if you love the outdoors!

    I don’t know if it’s cheating to pick a foreign city, but I love Queenstown, New Zealand. It’s breathtakingly beautiful, laid-back, and packed with things to do and see! If that doesn’t count, then I’d have to go with Seattle. I just love exploring there!

    I LOVE MONTREAL!!!! My home town and one of the best places in North America. I love its mix of old and new (one of the first established towns in North America). I love its European flavour (can’t get THAT anywhere else), I love it’s dual languages… where else can you hear “oh my goodness, j’ai envie d’une poutine, let’s go to Lafleur’s!” I live in Europe now, but in its own way Montreal can’t be beat!

    And I’ve been to RVA…. it’s AMAZING!!!!

    Thanks for having a world-wide contest, I’m thrilled to bits!!!

    I LOVE NEW YORK……i love that every time I visit I discover so many new and wonderful places and shops and areas that I didn’t know existed. I haven’t been in about 7 years now and dream that I will make it back this year as I used to visit every year or so…..

    I love Portland. It’s where I was born and now reside. I also love the London print. London is where I recently honeymooned.

    I love DENVER! I went to grad school there and lived there for a total of 8 years. Close to skiing, great shopping, great music scene, plenty of exposure to the arts… I could go on and on. Miss it terribly! #husbandmademeleaveWAH

    I love Washington DC – the only city I’ve ever lived close enough to visit on a whim – okay I’ve lived here all my life – except for when I was in school (I would say I LOVE BLACKSBURG, but it’s not really classified as a city =) )
