***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

MAINE ME! I immediately thought of the town in Wales that someone else mentioned too, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. It means “The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio’s of the red cave” I imagine travelers always knew where they were going!

MAINE ME! I grew up in a little hamlet in Pennsylvania known as “Polecat Hollow.” It’s as rural and sometimes backward as it sounds, but it’s so beautiful there.
melanie says
MAINE ME!! I grew up in Morning Sun, Iowa…loved it!!
Jenn says
Maine me! I don’t think you have to look much farther than Bumpass VA – just up the road from Richmond.
Ashley says
Maine Me!
Hell Gate, Montana. It’s a little unsettling to see that on a sign lol.
julie says
MAIN ME!
Eryn says
Maine me!!
Shana says
MAINE ME!…I grew up in the only Eaton Rapids on Earth. I know it’s not funny/cute (lame actually), but it really is the only ER on earth!! They even have that on their welcome sign :)
Stephanie says

Maine Me!! In MN we have a few oddly named towns, Fertile; Embarrass; Sleepy Eye; Moorhead; Ironwood; Butterfield; Greenbush (which is where I hail from); Littlefork; Downer; and Climax to name a few :)
Judi B says
MAINE ME!
Hmmm, I can’t think of anything extraordinarily odd at the moment. I’m always amused though when traveling to the western part of VA to hear my MIL pronounce somes of the areas we pass through, Botetourt, Ft. Chiswell, Hillsville, Wytheville, Ironto, etc with her southwest Viriginia roots. It always makes me smile.
Chrissy (The New Me) says
MAINE ME! My current home is a little town in East Texas called Nacogdoches. It’s the oldest town in Texas, and definitely the most fun to say!
Leslie says
MAINE ME!
I lived in a town in Wales called Aberystwyth while studying abroad. Not quite as bad as the one above, but my mother could never manage to pronounce all the syllables together no matter how many times I broke it down for her.

MAINE ME!

Erin T. says
MAINE ME!
I grew up in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, a city named for the tunnel in the hill through which the railroad traveled. It’s a city famous with the Civil War crowd, and the tunnel has been turned into a tourist site (you can walk all the way through the tunnel — it’s creepy!).
Andi says
Maine me!

Not the name of a city, but… Lalala, name of a neighborhood in Libreville, Gabon (in Africa).

I love Maine. MAINE ME!
Jennifer says
MAINE ME!
I just moved to Maineville, Ohio. I’m told it was named for a group of settlers from Maine. Remotely connected to this giveaway? I think so!

MAINE ME!
Shannon says
MAINE ME. I went to college with a cute boy from Meadows of Dan, VA…but in our directory it was listed as M.O.D.,VA, so his nickname will ever be Modva. :)

Moorehead, MN always gets a giggle out of my friends! ha
stacey erin says
MAINE ME! I feel like I’ve seen some strange state parks on my road trips… like Big Bone Lick State Park in KY, and Bong Recreational Area in WI. Definitely signs that make you do a double take as you’re headed down the highway.
B says
MAINE ME! My husband has a trucker hat that reads I Heart Intercourse, PA. True story, true town. Not his classiest clothing item. :)
Very Fine House
Sara C. says

I lived in Oregon for a short while, once upon a time, and while out exploring one day, I came across a town named “Sublimity”.

We used to always pass through O’dell Illinois going from my Mom’s to my Dad’s. My sister and I are in our 30s now and we still sing “the farmer in o’dell” every time we pass it.

Jennifer M says
“Maine Me!”
I can’t think of any other funny town names, but I do love Maine in general and this post makes me miss it a bit. Sigh.
Jennifer says
MAINE ME!! I haven’t read all 2000+ comments, but as I grew up outside of Philly, I assume someone has mentioned Intercourse, PA, Bird-in-Hand, PA, Paradise, PA….
Shevon says
MAINE ME! We used to live in West Chicago, IL which was very confusing for some people because we were about 30 miles west of Chicago!
