***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 have a slight….er overly ridiculous obsession with letters namely initials. They are found all around our house. I love typography and my hubs seems to think I’m getting a bit crazy with it! I guess it’s the same as Sherry’s ceramic animal obsession!

“WORD ME!” I love reading. I’ve done the whole e-book thing, but it’s not the same for me as physically turning the pages of a worn, well-read book!

Word Me!
I love initials or words on anything really! An initial on a necklace, His/ Hers on pillowcases, anything really. Those Mr. and Mrs. Pillows are adorable!

Word me!
My favorite words are on notes confiscated from my second grade students…. some how the inventive spelling in their requests for love and friendship make them even more entertaining than the junior high variety.

WORD ME!! Nothing better than artwork that’s composed of words. A picture is after all worth a thousand of ’em :)
Dianna says
WORD ME!
Heather says
WORD ME!
I get really annoyed at official documents with sans serif fonts. I start to doubt how important they are, because sans serif is a very small step away from comic sans.

MJSamuelson says
WORD ME!!!
I’m a big fan of t-shirts with clever quotes, and in college I decorated my dorm room with printed quotes on plain 8×11 paper (I had a very limited budget, so I played with clever fonts and colors to make these look fun). Of course, nothing beats books – my house decor has to play nicely with the bookcases in most of the rooms, and our living room in particular was designed around one huge handmade bookcase holding a good portion of a joint collection.
Liz says
Word me! love the blog. inspired us to put in our own laminate floor…and then the ideas for projects kinda snowballed.

P.S. I just bought the Mr. and Mrs. pillows as a wedding gift!
Anne says

WORD ME!! I love text and pictures. I’m just a little sick of the overdone words and phrases that you see everywhere.
Caroline DeWick says
Word me!
I love typography. I think my favorite way to see it or experience it is through letterpress. Love the tools to do it, love the outcome, love the touch. MMmm.
