Fab Freebie: Maine Attractions

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

It’s a shame we can’t take any major road trips right now (thanks to our wee one) since this week’s giveaway has us itching to head north to Kennebunkport, Maine. That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome online shop and one of you is gonna win a $150 gift certificate to spend there. Score.="nofollow">

Kenne Four Grid

And not that we’re in the business of telling people how to spend their prize money, but here are some things we would totally snag for ourselves:

Kenne Our Picks

Wanna take home some of this beachy bliss? Here’s how to enter this week’s Fab Freebie (oh, and stay tuned for a discount code this Thursday):

  • PRIZE: $150 toward anything in Spaces Kennebunkport’s shop
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MAINE ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … since our giveaway sponsors reside in a fairly uniquely-named town, we’d love to know of any unique / weird / funny city names that you live in, have visited, or have noticed on a map (i.e. Love, VA; Bummerville, CA; Sweet Lips, TN)
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 2nd at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the USA
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    Sorry, never lived anywhere with a funny name. I’ve driven through Intercourse, PA though. I think one of the towns after it is called Paradise so the joke is you have to go through Intercourse to get to Paradise!

    Can’t think of any weird town names, but I do live just a short drive from Kennebunkport (in Portland Maine). It’s a charming coastal town, the summer home of a past president, and has some of the greatest antiquing and shopping opps. Come visit!

    Maine Me! My grandmother visited Kennebunkport a few years ago and loved her time there. As a teen, I lived in the tiny community of Clyo, GA. We called it a “no-blink” town: if you blink while you drive through, you’ll miss it!

    There’s a state park in Kentucky called, Big Bone Lick State Park. I’m sure there must be a good reason for this, but it gave us the giggles. :)

    i live in Bexar county, pronounced “bear”. thanks to immigrants from all over the world who settled long ago in this part of Texas, there are lots of names that are not pronounced like they are spelled at all!
    like Boerne, Gruene, or Manor–none of which are pronounce like you would think!
