***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 just graduated from college and had an art minor focusing in graphic design. My favorite part was learning all about typography. I love how just a single letter has the ability to look like a work of art and portray so much emotion! I’m not going to lie, I am a major sucker for the Mr and Mrs pillows (I just got engaged!!)
Shayna says
Word me!
I LOVE words any which way I can get em! If my husband would allow it, I would have quirky sayings mounted on every wall in the house! I sneak in as many inspirational, get you through each day words as I can.

I am obsessed with words! In any form, in any language. As far as art goes, I love seeing words in just about any format: from tattoos to vinyl wall decals. Poems (The Piano by D.H. Lawrence), novels (The Grapes of Wrath), SONG LYRICS (OMG do I love those! Elderly Woman Behind A Counter In A Small Town), intricate multi-syllable words like “cacophonous”, S + K for me and my love. Geesh! I do love words! :)

A song isn’t a song without words. I like classical music and all but sometimes if a song takes toooo long to get to the lyrics I just have to fast-forward.

WORD ME!
I LOVELOVELOVE words, always have since I was little. Words as art is really fun to me. My little brother just moved to New York City to begin his career, and as his going-away present, I designed and printed a NYC Subway Sign-inspired canvas with words to remind him of our family, inside jokes, places we’ve lived, etc. I love the thought of all these memories on his wall all the way in the Big Apple.
