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 grew up in Maine, in a town called Dover-Foxcroft. Originally two separate towns, they were joined in 1922. It’s Maine’s only hyphenated township and one of the very few in the entire US.

    “Maine Me” Yeehaw Junction, FL has to be at the top of my unique / weird / funny city names list. Once when driving through Yeehaw Junction we had to stop our car so a chicken could cross the road. . . and why did that chicken cross the road? He crossed the road to get to the Desert Inn Motel. . . seriously, the chicken walked accross the road and right though an open door of the motel – true story!

    There is a town I’ve driven through in northern Minnesota named Embarrass. It’s like they felt the need to appologize for themeselves. They also hold MULTIPLE records for having the coldest temprature in the state!
