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!

    I’m in California and where I live has a nickname that I think only the residents know. It’s called… The Bubble! Because it’s a very safe and quiet suburban area! It’s kind of a weird nickname and now I wonder who first named it that..

      Hey Begona,

      We actually just moved it to the second box on the sidebar that looks like the search box- the one with our picture on it. If you click the tab that says “Link Love” you’ll find the full list there. Hope it helps!

    I’m originally from Greenville, Maine – up in the sticks! But I’m currently living in Cork, Ireland (bit of a change eh?) – and my favorite town name in Ireland is Kilbritian…doesn’t leave anything to the imagination!

    Well, Kennebunkport is a pretty odd name…and I’ve been there many times. And I live close enough (Boston) to drive to their shop, so I’m hoping Random.org picks me so that I have an excuse to make a trip up to their shop! :-)

    The closest thing I have to answer this question is the county where I used to live. It’s spelled Fauquier, but I’ll let you guess how to pronounce it…John and Sherry probably know as it’s just an hour or so north of Richmond!

    My husband is from a small town up in the panhandle of Florida called Niceville. He gets asked all of the time (ALL of the time) if there are nice people that live in Niceville.
