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.

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 but any funny town names are escaping me at the moment. Although I do love Maine shopping…can’t beat the Crate and Barrel and J. Crew stores at The Kittery Outlets! :)

    Uhm, I can’t think of any strange names of places. Although watching one of those crime shows today, I found out that there is an island called Raratonga. Or was that Rarotonga?

    My hometown is named Mandan. It’s in North Dakota and named for the Mandan native American tribe. It’s not actually named after… you know, a man named Dan.

    utah is a very large state. once you’re out of the salt lake valley, you’re pretty much in the middle of nowhere until you reach the southern part of the state. there is a town called paradise, utah. and paradise, it is not.

    there’s also a town called eureka. which, is fun to yell out. :)

    Dolan and I moved away from Chicago one summer and lived in Wicomico Church, Virginia, on the Chesapeake Bay. Looking back, it was a very surreal summer but it did give us the time/mental space we needed to develop a business plan.

    This store looks amazing…and also a great candidate for some Dolan Geiman artwork ;)
