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.

    I am a sucker for the thank you notes….love those sweet notecards for a buck at Michael’s. I taught my kiddos to right thank you notes & have received loads of positive comments from employers, friends and relatives.

    I love typography, fonts are a weakness of mine. My husband proposed to me by designing a series of pictures telling our story and the background completely made up of words from different verses on love.

    I’ve been dreaming about a set of pillows I saw on Etsy that look like Scrabble tiles and spell out LOVE :)

    WORD ME!

    I am an elementary teacher, so I connect with words in the stories we read and study. I love seeing my students connect with a text and become an avid reader.

    I’m a traditionalist but my husband and I do have the cheesy but cute “I love my husband (or wife in his case)” bumper stickers.

    WORD ME!! I like physical representations of words if that makes any sense… like how Jules on Cougartown uses Anthro cloth letters to write EAT on her kitchen wall. Love it.

    My fave words are on my hubby’s ring. he’s a giant Lord of the Rings fan, and wanted a “One Ring” for his wedding band…but if you listen to what’s written on the “One Ring” it’s not very uplifting or wedding-y. SO! He took the words from our favorite song’s chorus, and had them engraved, IN ELVISH FONT, on his ring. It’s so unique and special to both of us.

    I love Threadless’s “Type tees”. People are so very clever. I love to see plays on words.

    WORD ME! I’m a song lyric kinda gal…the cornier the better. “my heart will go on and on” anyone? Although, I must say I’m “live laugh love”ed out. So overdone.

    Unfortunately my interests are not as varied as the comments here. I was going to say books but that could also be expanded to magazines. And greeting cards, both bought and handmade!
