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 love things with phrases printed on them of songs from my past. “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine….” in particular, my grandmother sang it all the time :)

    WORD ME! I love words over the phone, on facebook, email, or skype as I talk to dear friends and family that live all over the country. My husband and I moved from the Midwest out to Seattle, WA two years ago, and so words are the way we stay in touch.

    WORD ME!!

    I love, love, LOVE words, and books, and songs, and posters with verses on them, and scripture verses stitched on samplers, pretty much anything with words on it!

    I would LOVE to win!

    WORD ME

    I like anything handwritten nowadays- a handwritten thank you note, card or love letter goes a long way for me. :)

    WORD ME! I love the kindergarten/grade 1 ‘just learning to print & spell’ words… some of their letter combinations are ha-larious.

    WORD ME!!

    I love it when words can evoke the imagination and create wonderful fantasies as you read. Obviously, I am a reader. But I also love letter photography, finding letters in nature and life and taking photos of them.

    I’m all about books; REAL books. HATE e-books. I need to feel the paper in my hand, flip pages through my fingers… it’s half the fun!

    WORD ME!

    I’m kind of obsessed with words and phrases on artwork (typically framed or canvas): anything really, in bright, crisp colors and funky fonts that remind me of moments from my life (song lyric, saying, etc.) that take me back just for a minute and make me smile.

    BTW, your yard sale chairs are boss.

    WORD ME! I am definitely a lover of words, and I am always reading at least one book, but I would say that lately I’ve been really into typographic art. My next project is turning some song lyrics into artwork for my 8 month old son Calvin’s room.
