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 TOKYO. It’s not my home, but I consider it my home away from home. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of traveling there. I also love Los Angeles, where I actually live. The sunlight is pretty special here.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON, DC! I fell in love with the city when I visited with my family when I was a kid. I told my parents on that trip that one day I would live in DC and I did. It was the first place I lived after college and even though I don’t live there any more it still feels like home.

    I LOVE CHICAGO! It’s my hometown, but we are moving to the mountains of NC so it would be great to have a reminder of the city I love hanging on our walls! Thank you for hosting the giveaway!

    I love Philadelphia!

    City of brotherly love! And I grew up just forty five minutes away and we would go there for fun. The historic district is fantastic but I enjoy the parks and museums. Great food, too.

    I love Vienna!

    I visited Vienna almost seven years ago along with other cities in Austria and Czech Republic. It’s a beautiful place and I can’t wait to go back again some day!

    I LOVE LOS ANGELES, CA!

    I love it so very much because I was born and raised there. Unfortunately I moved away when I was 18 and I have missed it every day!

    I love Annapolis, MD. We moved around alot growing up and Annapolis is where my family landed. I’ve moved on a have a family of my own now, but whenever I visit my parents, I walk around downtown in its historic fairyland and love every crinkly bricked road.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON DC!

    I grew up just outside of DC in Maryland and I’ve always loved our nations capitol for many things. The history, the cherry blossoms, the museums, the culture, etc. For the first year and a half of our marriage we lived in DC and it was such a fun time with such happy memories. I would love to live there again someday…

    I LOVE CHARLESTON, SC! It is beautiful and I live here with my family. Conde Nast rated it as the world’s top tourism town in 2012. It is historic, friendly and easy to get around in. Come visit for some true Southern charm!

    I love Paducah, KY! It’s the quilting capital of the world and it’s also the largest city in KY named after a Native American :)

    I LOVE HOUSTON! It’s the city where I met my husband. It’s the city where I started my first job. It’s the city where I met many of best friends.

    To me, Houston is a city of opportunity. A city of hope. A city of change.

    I love Salamanca Spain! It is a beautiful city where I did my study abroad. Built with golden sandstone, the city truly looks a if it is made of gold when the sun hits at that magic hour during dusk and dawn!

    I love Seattle. Mountains to both sides and Puget Sound in between. What’s not to like? (Oh yeah, the constant rain does kinda get on your nerves in February.)

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH! It has always been home to me, even though I lived elsewhere for 7 years. I’m back now, living in an awesome house with lots of projects. My hubby and I are getting ready to have our first baby in May, so it’s really a special place!

    I LOVE PITTSBURGH!

    When my husband and I “re-met,” he was living in Pittsburgh. So much of the early memories of our relationship were in that city. We still go there frequently for weekend trips and love our time there.

    I love Rio Del Mar, CA…
    I use to live in Los Gatos-in the mountians above Santa Cruz. And though I LOVE Santa Cruz, I would REALLY love to live in RIo Del Mar. They have the longest beach EVER. And it is a neighborhood town… no high rises. One motel. That’s it. :)

    Thanks for the chance!
