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 UP ME!

    I think I can still legally say ‘word up’ right? Anyway, I love seeing word play with stop signs around town. I should totally post some pics for my next post. Hey thanks guys for the inspiration!

    WORD ME!

    Love your blog, for realz! Right up there with miss mustard seed, imo. :)
    I live outside raleigh but was in richmond recently and thought “I wonder where the young house o’ love is?” but not in the stalkerish way that sounds. My aunt teaches horticulture at hermitage high school.
    Ok enough rambling. Apparently typing is where my love of words is focused. :)

    WORD ME! I love looking over hand written notes from loved ones. My favorites are two hand-written recipes from my Grammy. Her handwriting and her cooking were perfection. I’ve framed them and hung them in my kitchen for inspiration.

    “WORD ME!” I guess I’d have to say I’m more of a traditionalist when it comes to words, I also like words in the languages my family’s ancestors: Icelandic/German/Swedish

    WORD ME. Share with you,I a sucker for typography as well, I just can’t get enough of it. Love having the same first initial as my boyfriend since we are not married yet, so I get to use that around our house. Love framing different things in type just like you did with your framed P. As the black eyed peas would say, I just can’t get enough

    WORD ME! I was a music major in college so I’m going to have to go with song lyrics. In fact, the book wreath made out of sheet music would be soooo awesome!

    Word me!

    I love words in any form, but especially in novels and poetry.However, I can’t resist a funny bumper-sticker or t-shirt. My latest, greatest t-shirt, spotted in Bar Harbor, ME had this slogan: “In dog beers, I’ve only had one.”

    WORD ME!

    I love lyrics, they determine whether or not I actually like a song. If I don’t understand where they’re coming from, then I don’t typically like the song.

    WORD ME!
    I love collected various letters from old signs. I’m thinking of doing a crazy typographic collage with them once I get enough.

    WORD ME!

    I’ve always prefered to decorate with photos (taken by me) but recently, thanks to pinterest.com, I’ve really started to get into typography and framed quotes. I even have purchased a few things from wallquotes.com. Really starting to love me some words.

    WORD.
