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.

    WORD ME! I can’t choose!!! I love all words – books, magazines, blogs, BBC English classic movies, foreign films with subtitles. As a child my favorite place was the library. Come to think of it, it still is! I love reading your blog and checking out your latest projects. Lana http://www.lifeatwildberrycottage.com

    WORD ME! I love words on post-its more than anything else. They can be used for reminders, love notes, encouragement, and in my classroom!

    WORD ME!
    Typography is my thing! I love old letterpress letters as well – they just have such a look about them. I have bunches of them scattered around my house.

    WORD ME! My favorite words are words in books, preferably a book that’s making up some sort of fantasy. Thank you!!!

    WORD ME!!
    My favorite use of words is in stories and poetry. My husband is a writer, so I get to read his wonderful stories and poems all the time.

    “WORD ME!”

    I really love song lyrics. For some reason, they seem to have the ability to speak a truth that in some circumstances might not be appropriate. They speak of vulnerability in joy, in heartache, and in everything else in between that so richly expresses what seems to fall short with plain words.

    I love words on labels…it sounds lame, but a nicely designed label (fonts and layout) can really make me happy :)

    “Word Me”

    I love hand written notes! I still have notes my friends and I used to write each other in high school….these notes are about 15 years old. Time flies when you[re having fun.

    WORD ME! and I love books. Books books books. I have a NOOK, which I really like, but nothing compares to flipping through the pages of a great book hot off the press.

    WORD ME!

    I have just spent the last 2 days copying an old sign for the local church fair. The original was written in an old-fashioned 3-D font, which turned out to be very hard to replicate, and I regularly felt like I had fallen into an M.C. Escher print. But it reminded me that I LOVE typography, and I also love the paper it’s printed on… making these items the perfect prizes.

    WORD ME!

    I enjoy reading postcards and letters from people I don’t know. I like looking at their penmanship. As an artist, I also really enjoy moveable type for printing presses. Even though technically it’s a letter, not a word, but each is so sculptural and beautiful!
