***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.

Emily says
WORD ME! I like love notes! My husband and I like to leave love notes for each other in places like the laundry basket or the refrigerator. It’s double fun because it’s a surprise and a sweet letter!
Mollie says
Love the book page wreath! What a wonderful idea. My husband’s uncle wrote a prayer for our wedding, which he read at the ceremony. A few weeks after we got back from our honeymoon, his lovely wife sent the prayer, printed out in a cool almost gothic font and framed. Never would have thought to do that, but I love it.
Lorraine says
Word Me!

“WORD ME!”
One of my favorite forms of artistic expression is the written word. I think this is why I teach typography still… I am always searching for things for both my own home (either art or pillows) and for my classroom.
Missy says
Word Me :)
Joanna Moore says
Word me!
Den says
“WORD ME!”
I am a sucker for typography – more specifically the first letter of my new last name! My husband has kindly put a limit to the number of “S” things I’m allowed to bring into the house. I think I could convince him of the necessity of the “mr & mrs” pillows :)

I love words and I love language, so anywhere you put it, I am a happy camper. I especially love typography!
Thank you for your lovely site. I laughed just now b/c I have NO time to be perusing the Internet, but I bargained with myself that I’d just peek at your site only. Glad I did, as usual.
trisha wright says

WORD ME!
I love all things French, including words on pillows, clothing, or art pieces. And I also love song lyrics, which have the power to speak directly to your emotion at any given time, depending on the song.
Sarah says
Word me! :) I love books.
Alicen says
WORD ME!!! I’m fanatical about words…books, typography, but think my favorite is lists – seeing someone’s handwriting in the form of a list is so personal even when the list is just a simple grocery list or to-do list.
Renee D. says
WORD ME!!

WORD ME!
After reading this title, yep, now I am singing that 80s song “more than words..is all you have to say…”
I love my poetry.
Amanda K says
WORD ME!! I enjoy fonts–I was a year book geek and couldn’t get enough of fonts.
Kate Johnson says
WORD ME!
There is nothing like a handwritten note from someone you love. It is a lost art in this age of email, text, and istant messaging. So the handwritten note is just that much more meaningful.

Mackenzie says
WORD ME!
(For the wreath — it is gorgeous and I plan on auctioning it at a Junior League fundraising event in November where we sell decorated wreaths, Christmas trees and ginger bread houses to help raise money for local charities)
…I love children’s books. I know, I know… I’m an adult. But they are awesome! Goodnight Moon and the Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear are favorites of mine. :)
