Fab Freebie: More Than Words

***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.

Everywhere We Look Wreath

  • 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 words…especially in a beautiful typeface (or HANDWRITTEN!). I’m afraid we’re losing the beauty of the written word now in the internet age!

    WORD ME! I love it when graphic design gets inspiration from muslim art, and typography takes literal shape making beautiful art.

    Word ME! Love words…in music…in books…in spoken form…love ’em all. :o)

    BTW: I thought of you both this weekend as I was removing a bear and balloon border in a future babe’s room. 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water…worked like a charm when rubbed on with a sponge. Hubster was sooo proud of me that I didn’t go ADD in the middle of the work and get bored and move on to something else! Love the blog!!!

    I love word puzzles in the newspaper, like cryptoquotes and word jumbles. So awesome! So geeky..

    WORD ME!

    I’m a “quote” person. I like quotes as art in picture frames, or even just written in my own journals. I’m a teacher, and I love to decorate my classroom with quotes!

    WORD ME! I am a huge fan of typographic art. I love the way that words can be organized in a way that is so pleasing to the eye.

    WORD ME!… I love seeing words in prints or posters. My favorite? My daughters room has an “Owl Love You Forever” print framed above her dresser.
