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 can’t think of any right now by Houston, but Sara’s comment of “Kilbritian” is pretty funny.

    Pennsylvania is also home to Mexico, Indiana, and California (all city names in the state). And, of course, who could forget Intercourse. :)

    Athol, MA. Harmless, until you pronounce it like your tongue is swollen.

    My boyfriend HATES when we drive by that sign because I do it at least 10 times.

    I haven’t lived in any crazy-named places (yet)…so far my list is as follows: Savoy, Vero Beach, Champaign, Urbana, Oak Park, Glen Ellyn & Chapel Hill…

    When I was a highschooler, one of our lacrosse rivals was a school from Boca Raton, Florida. They were very fancy folks, but we always snickered that their hometown name meant rat’s mouth in espanol. Teehee. Whose fancy now?

    I lived in Peterborough NH for 4 summers. I guess its not that strange of a name in the end. But it is the town that Our Town was written about.
