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!

    Growing up in Michigan, it’s always been a long standing joke of living in ‘Hell’. There is a town named ‘Hell, MI’.

    Last month, on my way through New Mexico, I drove through Wagon Mound (slightly amusing) and Truth and Consequences (slightly amusing, but mostly intimidating). In college I drove through Intercourse, PA (where you can buy signs to commemorate your visit). And my husband’s favorite is Weipee, ID (pronounced Wee Ipe).

    Maine Me! I live in a town called Montrose Colorado which is really not a funny or interesting name. However, there is a town not far from here called No Name, Colorado. No lie. There is even a sign. Funny. Love your blog. Great inspiration!

    Really enjoy your site. Congratulations on your little one!

    I can’t think of any city names that are unusual, but we do live near Aloha, Oregon. I made the mistake of pronouncing it like a Hawaiian aloha when we first moved here, but it is not.

    My bad, I accidentally hit the enter key after my first response.

    What I meant to add was that I haven’t lived in any weird town names, but in a town in Texas, the street names for the downtown area are (I kid you not): which way, what way, circle way, this way, that way.

    So conversations go a little like this, “Go down circle way, make a right at which way, turn left at what way, and then go all the way down that way.”

    =D

    What a great shop! I grew up in the towns of Sykesville (seriously) and Eldersburg (not just full of old people). Both pretty silly in my mind.

    Amazingness! I don’t live in a funny-named town but my favorite Maine attraction is the famous sign post that has direction arrows for all of the Maine town names that are differenct countries (i.e. Poland, Portugal, France, etc. – these are all different names of towns in Maine!!) Look it up! its great!
