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!

    MAINE ME!

    For unique names, I love the cities with Native American roots in their names. IE: Sequim WA, pronounced the same as Squid but with an M at the end, and my hometown of Cotati CA. Pronounced Co-tot-e.

    MAINE ME!

    On a road trip in college, my friend swears she saw a town called “Sugar Tit” on the map in Kentucky. I’m from Indiana originally, and we have several interesting town names, including Toad Hop, Munster, French Lick (and yes, we giggle when we say this name) and Roachdale. I moved to Arizona, where I’ve always found the town of Snowflake to be funny. We also have a town called Why.

    For funny town names, we live in California so I think some of the funniest names are in Spanish:

    Los Gatos=The Cats
    Manteca=Lard
    and best of all,
    Los Banos=The bathrooms

    Hey! Why not MAINE ME?!

    I have lived in Tennessee all of my life, and I think we top the list of funny names for cities and towns.

    We have Bucksnort, Bell Buckle, Lick Skillet, Soddy Daisy, Defeated, Hohenwald, Red Boiling Springs, Skullbone, Calfkiller, and Boogertown Gap, TN. I’m not kidding about any of these.

    Maine Me! I’ve never lived in a place with an interesting name, but when we drive through downstate Illinois, I always enjoy passing Peru (pronounced Pay-roo) and Cairo (kay-row). There’s also a town in Missouri off I-70 called Boonville that we always enjoy the signs for.
