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 HAARLEM! This is the city my Mother was born in, in the Netherlands. Beautiful architecture, wonderful museums. It’s a great place to shop in, to grab a bite to eat, or sit in a small street cafe and drink coffee and watch the crowds go by.

    I LOVE SEATTLE!

    My son and daughter were both born here, and my dh and I have lived here since we married 13 years ago. It’s the place where I finally put down roots after moving a lot as a child (military family).

    Plus, it’s “The Emerald City” – an Oz reference is always cool!

    I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS! It’s where I grew up and where I knew I wanted to raise my future kid(s) even before I had the whole “father of my future kid(s)” thing figured out. Love the lakes, love the seasons, love the people, love the art, music, and amazing food that are available.

    I LOVE SEATTLE!! My husband and I visited Seattle last March and started planning our way back ASAP. 8 months later, I had a new job and we moved! It all happened so quickly, we’re still getting used to our new city and love exploring the neighborhoods and the mountains.

    Also…I LOVE BLACKSBURG, VA! VT Grad (Sorry John, GO HOKIES!) and absolutely can not get enough of the beautiful views in the New River Valley. Plus, we got married at Tech so it will always be a special place.

    I LOVE WASHINGTON DC! After moving here 10 years ago for school, it really feels like home. It’s the perfect sized city – all the benefits of a big city with a small-town feel, and you can be surrounded by nature in less than 15 minutes. And driving past the Capitol, White House or monuments NEVER gets old.
