***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 artwork…. A Chico, California local artist, Ilona Cronan, creates such beautiful artwork with words that I LOVE LOVE LOVE! My favorite is the one she made for my mom that depicts a nest and says “Our Nest” to represent our home.

WORD ME! I’m totally addicted to words in the form of graffiti. Yes, I know it’s an eyesore (and a crime!) but when you live in the city, you see unexpected messages everywhere!

Kelly says
WORD ME, please :) I have to admit I am a sucker for typography, in general. I have a hard time going by anything (that I could possible hang in my house) with some cool saying. Lots of potential DIY projects with typography. PS Loved your breastfeeding post, we are expecting in Nov. and I plan to breastfeed, I’m pretty nervous about it, say a prayer for me.
Leah says
Woohoo!!! I’m so pumped I won! We just bought a new house (closing on August 10th), so the pillows and wreath are the perfect housewarming gift. :)

Thanks so much YHL! I love the blog and am thrilled to have won one of the super-fun giveaways. We’ve just moved into a 1952 ranch and the design scheme is still a work-in-progress. These lovely items will definitely help us along.
