***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.

I love seeing words in books — fiction, non-fiction, mystery, romance, cookbooks, how-to’s…the list is endless.

Word me!!
The main focal point of our living is a giant wall of bookcases!!
Laura says
WORD ME!
As a newspaper reporter, I believe there’s nothing more powerful than words. They inform, they entertain, they are what make us human.
Megan says
WORD ME!
I love coming across a quote that really resonates with the way I’m feeling or that makes you think. My dad used to write some on little yellow sticky notes at work and I’d find them on my bedroom door at the end of the day…I’ve got them all collected in a little book.

Lindsay says
WORD ME!
Typography is the heart beat here. Lately I’m loving letter press pieces that use lyrics from hip-hop song or just jams that have great one liners– (i.e LOOK AT ME NOW or Blue Skies Shining At Meee…)
Thanks!

Heather says
WORD ME!
I am a Language Arts teacher, so I just love words in general…all forms make me happy!
Paige says
WORD ME!
I love words in nearly EVERY form – I can’t get enough. I’m smitten with interesting typography lately, but one of my favorite display of words has to be a shadow box frame containing a song written for me on the torn out pages of my husband’s journal. It was our first dance at our wedding!
Megan Tisdale says
WORD ME!
I like hand written notes. Love notes, thank you notes, Christmas cards and etc. There is just something about handwriting that is so special.

Kelli says
WORD ME!
I LOVE typographic art… and one bumper sticker that I particularly love is the Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse in Grand Rapids, Mi — their slogan is ‘Funk Yeah!’ Great play on words and makes you do a double take!

Nicole says
WORD ME!!!
I love words, words, and more words in nearly every shape and form

Angela says
WORD ME! I love song lyrics!
Megan S. says
WORD ME!
I love words used in unexpected ways- as hidden messages in a wall hanging, to a subtle special word highlighted in an open book on a sofa table.
Laura T says
WORD ME!
I’m a sucker for handwritten letters, even though my own handwriting is not good…nothing beats getting a handwritten anything in the mail.
Trudi says
“Word Me!” BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS

WORD ME!
I love pillows and other forms of decor that incorporate words and fancy lettering. I particularly love French or Italian writing – whether it has a special meaning or not!
Jen H says
WORD ME!! My husby loves funny shirts and wear them everyday under his dress shirt and suit. I think he enjoys the irony. I’m a nut for anything that contains a pretty or unique font. And we are both avid readers. Thanks for this awesome give-away!

i like words on cards. not the sappy cards, the heartfelt ones that don’t sound like greeting cards. those are hard to find.
Heather says
WORD ME! I love words in books!

WORD ME!
I love word art.
Lindsay says
“WORD ME!” I’m considering a wordy tattoo!
Natalie Schoellhorn says
WORD ME! I love coming across vintage billboards painted right over the old brick of buildings. The old school fonts and peeling paint get me every time; I can’t help but take pictures. :)
Kristin S. says
WORD ME!
I love the “words” that my FI texts to me when we are at work and can’t talk! :)
Sarah says
WORD ME!
I love words in a book, in scripture, in a letter in the mail from my grandmother, but mostly I love the words you can share in lighthearted conversation with a good friend — learning from one another and sharing life.
Katherine R. says
Word me! =)
Melissa says
Word Me!
The hubsters is a huge fan of t-shirts. We’ll be watching TV and hear a funny phrase, and he’ll always remark, “That should go on a t-shirt!” I, however, prefer the word in traditional form – anything in a book or magazine works for me!
Jodi says
WORD ME! I love subway art, and playing around with wordle.net! I used Wordle last year to create framed prints of my husbands family using all the family memebers. Fun!
