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 we’re celebrating seven years since our move to Richmond, VA — and to mark the occasion we’ve partnered with a city-focused artist for this week’s giveaway. Kimberly, the creator behind Albie Designs, makes charming city illustration prints that work beautifully in gallery walls and as personal keepsakes. We’ve had her New York City print in our hallway frame collection for years (my sister gave it to Sherry for her birthday), and Kimberly recently released a Richmond (RVA) city print that captures local character in her signature, whimsical style.
If you love city art prints, map-inspired illustrations, or hometown souvenirs, this giveaway is a great chance to add a meaningful piece to your walls. The prize is an Etsy gift card to Albie Designs so the winners can choose their favorite city print — whether that’s the new Richmond design, New York, Washington DC, or another city from her collection.
- PRIZE: A $100 gift card to Albie Designs on Etsy to spend on city illustration prints, perfect for gallery walls, framed gifts, or a unique piece for your home.
- TO ENTER: Leave a comment on this post that begins with the words “I LOVE [INSERT CITY NAME HERE]” and tell us which city you love.
