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!

    My husband and I dated long distance for a while. He lived in Lexington, KY and I in Louisville. Halfway in between the two is Waddy Peytona which I always thought was hilarious.

    We usually go to the mall in Manchester, which itself isn’t a funny name. But my brother in law calls the town “Man’s Chest Hair” – cracks me up every time. Same with Rochester, NY – this one is “Rod’s Chest Hair.”

    Well, there used to be a sign in southwest Kansas directing you to two different towns, Liberal and Beaver. Yes, the sign said “Liberal, Beaver”. And across the street, another sign directed you to “Hooker”. We couldn’t find the signs the last time we drove through there. I’m glad we took pictures a few years ago!

    I’m a fan of the places with famous names that they insistent on pronouncing their own way. For example Ver-sales (Versailles)Indiana and Dante (Daint) Virginia.

    I love that my city (Alexandria, VA) is named after the Egyptian city that had the huge and historic library (that sadly burnt down in ancient times). At least I assume it is(I know I’m a huge nerd).

    I grew up in Lake Zurich, IL (named after the one in Switzerland). Needless to say there are no mountains in flat as a pancake Illinois.
