***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below (along with some sweet discounts)!***
Before we announce our winners, let’s first get to two consolation prizes: discounts! Get 15% off your WordGarden order with code YoungHouseLove15 and get 15% off of your Everywhere We Look order with code YHL15.
As for our two winners, random.org has selected… Leah (who “definitely” loves typographic art) and Rebecca A. (who loves books and typographic art – which seemed to be a trend). Congrats ladies!
This week’s pair of prizes (for a pair of winners, no less) come from two Etsy sellers who have a way with words. Namely, they turn the written word into stylish pieces for your home. The first of which, WordGarden, takes text and graphics to give simple pillows a chic European flair – from bicycles and birdcages to his and hers sets. And two of you will be scoring a pair of pillows in any size and any design.
The other half of this week’s prize comes from Everywhere We Look, who creates book page wreaths that could be right out of Anthropologie. And each of this week’s winners will get a large-sized wreath (i.e over 250 pages turned into a 21″ wreath) that’s custom made just for them.
- PRIZE: Two pillows of any size from WordGarden and a large custom wreath from Everywhere We Look
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WORD ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us what form you particularly love seeing words take? Are you a sucker for typographic art (like me)? Have you never met a funny t-shirt or bumper sticker that you didn’t like? Do song lyrics do it for you? Or are you a traditionalist and simply love words in books, poems, and love notes?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, July 20th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States and Canada
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from WordGarden and Everywhere We Look.

“WORD ME!”
I love, love words! I am a needlepointer (and no, I’m not a grandmother) and I have several things I’ve done for the house. I did a pillow for our bed with “and they lived happily ever after” that is one of my favorites. And I’ve also done a lot of traditional samplers with the alphabet. Someone asked me one time if I had learned it yet…
Sarah says
It looks like that WordGarden seller has a pillow with the same saying. I love it!

Lauren says
Word Me!
I’m a HUGE music fan. My husband and I often get into discussions about the meaning behind the lyrics of our favorite songs. I’m such a lyric lover that in high school I had the lyrics to my favorite songs written on the walls of my room (much to my mother’s dismay).

“WORD ME!” I’d have to say that I like words in all forms….I especially love this neat little site….http://www.wordle.net/
Amy in Pittsburgh says
WORD ME!
It’s funny, I was just thinking over the weekend how about 90% of the artwork in my house contains words and type and how it makese sense considering I make my living as an editor! In fact, as I type this, my desk at work has a framed print that simply states, “There is nothing wrong with you”–something I picked up from Etsy about three years ago.
Oh, and when you featured Kal Barteski a few months ago, I contacted her to purchase a “Let My Love Open the Door” print. It’s on my mantel at home and I love it.
