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.

    At the moment, the way words are important/inspiring to me is in vows! Getting married in two months, trying to decide what words to use in our wedding ceremony and vows.

    WORD ME!!!! The most recent incarnation of words that I love came in the form of the “SOLD” sign on our new condo and first property! Would love to spruce it up with these gorgeous pieces!!

    I love hand written messages. Nothing better than getting a hand-written note in the mail in these e-mail times. Practicing my hand-writing has always been a favorite.

    My favorite form of words is little notes my husband writes me. He doesn’t do it often, but I love it when he does. I save them all (and I don’t keep just anything). I will cherish the notes my daughter will be sure to write when she learns to write.

    I’m a big fan of words. I love books, but also enjoy Banangrams, Boggle, Scrabble, etc. It’s hard to choose a favorite!

    WORD ME:)
    I’m totally a fan of words composed in sign language where theres a different hand spelling out each letter. Phrases in other languages are neat too!

    I love seeing words handwritten on a greeting card. The internet – although it has brought so many great things – has unfortunately de-personalized so very much. The connection gained between one person taking the time to handwrite a note and send it to another is unbeatable.
