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!

Find more freebie info on our Giveaway FAQs page. Pics courtesy of Spaces Kennebunkport.

    We have a small town in Utah named Hurricane. Not too weird but locals pronounce it Hurr-i-kin. We also have another city, Tooele – pronounced Too-il-a.

    Ok….no lie, I grew up in Bloomer. Yes. Bloomer, WI. We were not the underwear capitol of the world but do have the claim to fame as being the “Jump Rope Capitol of the World”….and some sweet Johnny Carson and Real People as well! Woot! Woot!
    Funny….now I live in Little Chute (pronounced “shoot”)

    I have lived in some pretty boring cities, I grew up in a town called Federal Way, which I think is an incredibly stupid name, and I spent some time living in Cocoa Beach, which reminded me of I Dream of Jeannie.

    Maine Me! I’m from the east coast originally, but have spent most of my life out west. One of my fav places to go is, Manzanita, OR, right on the coast. Right next to that is Wheeler, and just down the Hwy a bit is Beaver, OR.
