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 live in Iowa City, Iowa…not very exciting. But there is a small town just down the road called What Cheer, IA. Every time I go pass I can’t help but say, “Gimme a H, H! Gimme an A, A! Gimme a W, W!, Gimme a K, K! Gimme a S, S! What’s that spell? HAWKS! GO HAWKS!”

    Just across the river from where we live in Cincinnati, Big Bone Lick is not too far from Sugar Tit, Kentucky. S.T. doesn’t really exist as a place any more as far as we can tell, but it definitely shows up on the GPS every time we drive through. Totally not making this up.

    I live in Minnesota where many of the town names are from nature(Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, Apple Valley, etc.), but I also live pretty close to Savage, MN and there is a part of downtown Minneapolis that is nicknamed Dinkytown!

    Although lots of the towns around Milwaukee have funky old Native American names, my favorite is probably “Random Lake.” How funny!

    I am originally from Patchogue, NY (Long Island), which isn’t funny, but definitely not a name that rolls smoothly off the tongue.

    I ended up going to school in Cullowhee, NC, which, again, isn’t odd, just not exactly pretty. I should look up the history behind the name…
