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 always liked the sound of Sugarland, Texas. I imagine it as looking kind of like the land where all of the bad boys went in Pinocchio.

    As a native Californian I went to college in Kansas and the “other” big college in KS was in Manhattan, KS (a small city/town out in the middle of western KS)…being a city girl I found such great humor and irony in that!

    My mom loves the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, so when my now fiance and I were on a long drive home from Springfield, IL to MI, I saw a bright green exit sign for a town that said “Towanda”
    we took a picture of me pointing to it, and she still has it framed on her desk almost 6 years later.

    MAINE ME! Neat site! I’ve found lots of interesting sites to link to from here too. I think the town “Devil’s Slide” sounds kindof cool–when I was looking up the history of the town I discovered there were several places named that.

    I live an hour away from Gun Barrel City, TX which I think shows Texas’s personality quite well. We’re not all about cowboys and old westerns, but in cities like Gun Barrel it’s kind of hard to not think so :-)
