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 words, but my favorite form for them to take are handwritten notes from my husband- since it combines two of the best things ever.

    WORD ME! I like words in multiple languages side by side. Show’s the depth and power of words across many cultures.

    I love quotes/inside jokes like you have on your annual calendar (which I copied as a Christmas gift for my husband!)

    WORD ME! <—I would gladly hang a single wooden/metal/paper letter on my wall. I LOVE the shape of a nicely designed typeface <3

    WORD ME!

    I love the history of words and phrases – learning where they came from, why they are pronounced/spelled the way they are, and how meaning has changed over time. I also love breaking down the sounds of words, especially in different languages/accents – (can you tell I’m in linguistics?)

    Word me! :)

    I love words in all forms. I’m a professional communicator (technical writer and poet), so language–and its subtleties–is my life.

    And I know its a little bit off, but my husband and I are suckers for vintage marquee letters! We just got married and have been collecting the letter “N” (for Nelson) over our last 4 years of dating! We have a nice collection of N’s above our media console :)

    Word Me!

    I love words in any form. I’m a trainer, so I like to talk, I’m a reader so I eat books up, I’m a lyricist and a blogger so I love to write. I also adore posting cute sayings around my house and even posting up motivational quotes on social media and at my desk!

    While I’m a huge traditionalist in that I love love love books and the written word in general, my artistic sensibilities love typographic art (particularly those prints in which the text of a book is used to create a picture of something from that book).

    WORD ME! I love when words are printed with a press that makes a cute and simple artwork to hang on the wall.
