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’m from MS and when we visit my family, my husband is always sure to make fun of the names of towns/rivers/anything he can find. My favorite? Chunky, MS. Second runner up is Bogue Chitto (pronounced Bo-guh Chitta).

    I graduated from Cal…as it is effectionately called in Western PA. Its official name, however, is California University of Pennsylvania and is located in a small town called California, PA. The town may have existed prior to the state. Who knows? We also have Indiana, PA a couple hours away from Pittsburgh and guess what…it is also home to Indiana University of Pennsylvania!

    MAINE ME… I’m originally from Michigan and there is a Hell, MI. You can imagine the T-shirt possibilities with this one… “I’ve been to Hell and back” and such! We’re heading to Bar Harbor this summer for vacation and we just may have to swing through Kennebunkport – I love everything in that shop!
