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!

    MAINE ME! I’m going on a road trip to Maine this summer so maybe, if I win, I can actually stop by the shop. I’m not sure if this qualifies as a funny name by I Grew up in Woodstock NY (home of THE Woodstock concert)and worked for two years in Woodstock (School) India.

    Interesting names are escaping me…we do live in a town called Queen Creek, which is lacking in anything resembling a creek unless you count the wash behind our neighborhood.

    Thats so exciting guys. Try not overpack- see if your destination can supply anything, like cot(crib), stroller etc, as the car can get pretty full… My mum and mother-in-law have a stash of stuff for when the grandkids visit. Makes it easier. Most motels etc can help too.

    Whenever we visited florida as a kid, my mom and I would joke about the name “Kisssimee” or something like that. We’d yell out “KissiMe!” and give each other big kisses.

    I live in the Lehigh Valley, PA. The names of many of the towns in our area would lead you to believe we’re all very holy…like Bethlehem, Emmaus, and Nazareth.
