***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.

Whit says
Word me!
As a copy editor at a newspaper, I love words with amazing fonts, and pages full of words, and editing words, and the way those words smell hot off the presses.
Ginna says
Word Me! My now fiance and I were long distance for the first year and a half of our relationship, so we fell in love via email. It’s not quite as romantic as the old fashioned letter, but I still love it!
mkbruin says
WORD ME! I love letters in all forms and artwork is definitely a close second, but my favorite way to encounter words is in letters. Letters to others, letters from others, or old letters to and from someone else, to me nothing says I’m thinking of you quite like a letter.
Josee says
WORD ME!
I love words written in gorgeous calligraphy…and I should since I’m a calligrapher and all. Why do I love it so? Because it elevates the written word into a handmade work of art. Totally unique and totally gorgeous!
Love your blog, btw.

Trina says
WORD ME!
I actually believe in the power of words, so I love typographic art, but I really want it to have some kind of meaning for me–to infuse positive power into my home and life. Too serious for Monday morning? Probably.
