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’m planning my wedding right now and loving the way the old vintage book pages look as the background for table numbers. Love the vintage feel!

    Word me! (But despite being bookish, I far prefer the graphics and am not really in on the word/text/letters as stand alone art/design… or not yet…)

    WORD ME!
    I love words in all forms. I’ve recently fallen in love with word artwork. Love poems are my favorite of all time.

    I am an avid reader so books are my fave! However, I do love them on pillows too! And I am a sucker for nerdy math shirts!

    Word Me! I love seeing beautiful handwriting which, of course, I don’t have. More specifically, architectural/engineering style handwriting like my grandpa had!

    WORD ME!

    I love song lyrics. Definitely a win for me. Somehow words set to song are so much more magical, moving and meaningful. Hows that for alliteration? :)

    I hope I win!

    WORD ME.

    I am a big fan of words and letters – that you can use for decoration. I love having a letter for the last name of the household – or for us – my husband’s name also starts with a C – so I have a couple of C’s. I also love a word for art – and when you see the word it makes you think for a minute.

    *Word Me!!*

    I’m a fool for different fonts! My boyfriend teases me saying the only thing keeping me from starting my own blog are the thousands of fonts to choose from. He’s totally right! How does one decide on just one font when there are so many great ones!?

    WORD ME! I love books, the exposed spines of books sitting on book shelves, and one of my new faves—the 3-d paper art at Shelburne Museum. W00t!
