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 the way words look on a big sheet of craft paper. We (Huckiddy Puppet Theatre – in RIchmond, VA holla!) use that method when learning new songs and I always keep the paper.

    WORD ME! Like many others, I’m a huge fan of Wordle – it’s such a great tool and I love the concept of making word “pictures.”

    I love it when book pages are worked into artwork, but I’d never have the guts to tear a page out of a book myself. I’d feel like librarians everywhere were cringing!

    I like some word art typographic stuff, but generally am not a big visual word fan. Maybe a symbol or just a letter/number… I like the bicycle pillow!

    WORD ME!

    I’m a librarian’s daughter who grew up in the stacks, so my answer is obvious: I love a good book.

    I’m happiest when words are spelled correctly and used in sentences with proper grammar and punctuation. Words have power to build and tear down so they should never be spoken or written without care.

    WORD ME!
    I love seeing words on posters. In fact, one of my favorites is my poster that was featured on the cover of Domino years ago…For Like Ever…in pink. When I discovered it only cost around $20, I had to own it too. I even framed it in white just like the homeowners did in the magazine.

    WORD ME! (Thank you!)
    Song lyrics are definitely what capture me. Sometimes it seems like a phrase in a song captures a moment like a photograph would.

    Word me! I love typographic and the written word. Anything that makes you think and can take you away at the same time. Word to your mother.
