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’ve never been, but I would love to visit Mackinac Island in Michigan. “Mackinac” is a funny name to me because it’s pronounced “Mack-a-naw!”

    Correctionville, Iowa always cracks me up. The only “business” in the town is a woman’s correctional facility.

    How ironic, I ended up making a last minute mini vacation to Kennebunkport this past weekend for the first time! I missed this shop……(although we did get to see former President George and Barbara Bush boating to the Memorial Day Parade in town!)

    I can’t think of any good ones right now but my travel buddy in college and I particularly liked a few of the places in IA we passed on our roadtrips: Swaledale, IA, and although this is actually two cities, an exit sign reads, “Manly Forest City” (IA).

    How about Poughkeepsie, NY? Try spelling that or listening to others butcher the pronunciation (Peh-kip-see)

    MAINE ME, and if we want to talk about the border parts of the US, I went to a tiny town once called Wolcott (upstate NY) but it’s practically in Canada. It was gorgeous. I bet no one has been there on this list.
