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! This was my first visit to younghouselove.com, and I will be returning on a regular basis. Everything is beautiful in the Spaces Kennebunkport store; it would be difficult to choose.

    There is a town close by to me that is called Christmas. (Christmas, FL). The street names in the town are names like reindeer lane, Rudolph ct. Whats funny is that the town is not Chritmas-like at all.

    Maine Me! I’ve actually been to kennebunkport, Maine! I live in Walnut Creek, CA. However, when I first met my husband 5 years ago, we went on a road trip from Boston to Maine and finally New Hampshire. It was a great time! We stayed at a cute B&B in Kennebunkport and had dinner at Mable’s (really yummy lobster shack place that we were told the Bush family frequented – their family compound was down the road). I really hope I win this one!
