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 like carefully chosen words – fewer better than too many. Then I like to see them incorporated into art.

    Word me! While I don’t have a single bumper sticker on my car, I do enjoy getting behind cars that have stickers galore. Love trying to figure out vanity license plates, too, or just make up what I think they say.

    Well, I was an English major in college then got a Master’s in Library science, so I think it’s safe to say I love words in any setting!

    word me! I’m a sucker for good typography. I also love when chocolate wrappers have little sayings on them – kind of like a fortune cookie, but yummier! :)

    WORD ME!

    I love calligraphy. I started learning the basics in fourth grade and I love being able to put someone’s name on a card, envelope, or gift tag that way.

    WORD ME!

    As traditional as it sounds, books are my fave!! Nothing compares to finally laying down on the sofa and taking a few minutes of “me” time after a long day or work, chores, family stuff, etc. Being able to hold the book, fold the corners, smell the pages…all adds to the moment! I can’t imagine using a kindle or nook…it’s just not the same!!

    Word me! I love the print in traditional books. I judge books not only by their cover, but by the print too. If its ugly print, its distracting to me when I read it. I love Harry Potter (for so many reasons) but HP also uses a really sweet font.

    I’m a sucker for actual books. The huz only listens to books on tape and I caved (heresy! traitor!) and bought a Kindle, but nothing replaces the feel of a heavy leather-bound book in your hands.

    WORD ME! I love words when they are in the form of puns and word play! Richard Lederer spoke to my 5th grade class and my life has never been the same!

    I am, apparently, a huge Word Nerd, because all the options you mentioned make me swoon. Typography, clever turns of phrase, funny tees, beautiful lyrics, the list goes on… Words are powerfully magical!

    I love signs especially hand painted ones. Mostly I love the composition of letters and how unique each letter is, but I also love the cryptic messages and the challenge of deciphering code!

    There’s a pick-up truck always parked in my street with a bumper sticker that I DON’T like: Buck Ofama…

    WORD ME!

    I love quotes… not necessarily on my walls but I love reading quotations and using meaningful ones on different things in my everyday life like cards and invitations.
