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!

    One of the funniest towns I’ve heard of is Sandwich, Illinois. I don’t know why, but it makes me laugh anytime I see it.

    MAINE ME! The relatives lived in Kalamazoo, Mich, so that was the “weird” name at the time. They also loved to head to Shipshewana for shopping.

    I live in Wausau, and when I moved there, my brother kept saying “whas-sssssuuu???” Incidentally I went to college in Maine and Kennebunkport is delightful.

    I’ve always wanted to visit Maine in the summer or fall! What a beautiful place it seems!

    I can’t seem to think of some of the funny named places I’ve driven through, but I know there have been lots! I live near a town called Pleasant Grove… it sounds sweet but it’s not nearly what the name implies. There is also a town named Tooele but it’s pronounced “Two-ill-ah”. I think it has a native american origin but it took me forever to figure out where people were talking about when I first moved here!

    Please – Main Me!

    Where I live is hard to accurately pin-point. My home address is Tacoma (WA), but there has recently been sign posted outside my driveway saying “Welcome to Fredrickson,” across the street is the beautiful city of Puyallup, but behind our property is Spanaway.

    To make it easy I usually just say I’m from Seattle. :)

    The funniest place I’ve ever seen was a little town called Lawyers Bar, in Northern California. Needless to say, I didn’t see one Lawyer and the only bar there was closed.
