***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.

Ashley Collevecchio says
WORD ME!!!
I love typography and I am a sucker for it in the form of single letters (like the one you have from the magazine, blown-up) to represent initials.
I also LOVE words in books, especially when the writer selects a style I’ve not noticed before. Like the first three words in a new section in small caps.
Kimberly Bernhardt says
Word Me!I love vintage letters made into a fun saying.
Shira says
WORD ME! I’m a sucker for unique fonts. I actually like to hand-write famous quotes or song lyrics making every letter different, and so they all fit together like puzzle pieces. It’s what I do when I’m bored… hehe.
Megan A. says
WORD ME!
I love words in typographic form, especially in a cool piece of art!
Katie T says
Word Me!
Tammy says
“WORD ME”
I really enjoy typographic art, especially when the print contains an inspirational quote. :)
I also am about to purchase a print from Orange and Park that shows a map of San Diego and lists all of the cities’ main surf beaches. :) Makes me happy
Jill&Eric says
We LOVE bumper stickers, so much so we collect them and interestingly enough display our favorites in our bathroom! The best one is the one that says, “Hogs smell better BBQed” (for any Baltimore fans its from Andy Nelson’s store) :)
Kate says
WORD ME!
I love books and even though I adore my ipad and could not live without it I do miss the smell of a new book ;)
kristen says
WORD ME!
I like all forms.
Ellen says
WORD ME!
I’ll take my words in a book thanks.

Karen says
WORD ME!!
KRISTA says
WORD ME!!! and I love you :)

WORD ME!!!
I love words that come together to form a book i can’t put down. I just finished ‘The Help’ today and loved having a book i couldn’t wait to pick back up and continue.

Lowell says
WORD ME!
i recently love notes from my 6 year old.
Susie says
WORD ME! This is a hard one — I used to love books, but now I’m out of room for them and starting to resent the space they consume, so my Kindle is a lifesaver. I do still love song lyrics, typographic art (especially if it’s created via letterpress) and word tattoos!
Meggan says
Word Me!!
I love my sons’ names, Matthew and Owen. Those are my favorite words, so I love to see them written down, on their walls, and in their name puzzles. I love how our last name looks on a wooden plaque in our living room with our “established” date:)
Jennifer says
WORD ME! I love song lyrics that are turned into typographic art!
rachel says
WORD ME!
i just love words, period. typographic art, songs, poems, jokes, books…any clever, beautiful use of the written word is sure to make me smile. :)
josie in nc says
WORD ME!

Kirsten says
WORD ME!
And I love words anywhere… I sound like Dr. Seuss when I say that! :-p
Shannon says
Word Me!!
I love all sorts of words everywhere, graffiti(I know…) and handwriting; I’m addicted to fonts and when I doodle, it’s usually words like “turkey”.
Annegirrl says
WORD ME!
I’m a traditionalist and while there are very few t-shirts and bumper stickers I don’t find funny, there have been some that I didn’t understand. Could be the blonde coming out.
Nicole says

Love, love, love notable quotes that make you feel warm and fuzzy!

I suppose I’m a purist and prefer my word intake by book. I do, however, have three favorite words and I’ll bet you can guess what they are ;)
SillySimple says
Word Me! I love clever phrases in all forms, whether they are used as art, printed on t-shirts, spoken aloud, or written in a book.
