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 was taken aback when I Googled my new address a few years ago to discover we live within a mile of BOOGERTOWN, NC. Haven’t been able to dig up much history, and I’m not sure I want to know. :-)

    Boring, OR – I don’t live there, but its not a very exciting place to visit. Lives up to its name, if you ask me. :)

    What a great giveaway! I live in Cali where all of our cities have sweet Spanish names like “Saint Diego”, “Holy Cross” and “The Angels” (those are the three main cities I’ve lived in – San Diego, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles) though it would be fun to live just forty mile north where I could claim to be from “Paris” (Perris, CA, that is).

    Maine me! I was born and raised in Tuscumbia, Alabama…the birthplace of Helen Keller :) My boyfriend lives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which is only about an hour’s drive to Kennebunkport. Would LOVE to visit this place, and it’d be even better with $150 to spend!

    We’ve always enjoyed passing the “Dumfries” exit on 95 in VA. Personally, I’ve been fortunate enough to live in Farmville and Mechanicsville (both also in VA). Shame.

    There aren’t really any funny-named towns around here, but being bilingual in California leads to a couple of funny translations:

    Town name – Translation
    Atascadero – big sloppy mess
    Manteca – Lard
    Dos Palos – Two Sticks
