***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.

WORD ME!
I’m a sucker for anything typographic, whether it’s printed art, painted on a canvas or on a pillow. I love exploring different fonts and experimenting with how different fonts and typography can turn a word into a piece of art.

WORD ME!!!
Connie says
word me!!! I adore just one word statements. I have them strategically placed all over the house. I know…everyone does too but I am a sucker for them. Even though I totally prefer the one word statements, I have to admit that I fell in love all over with my hubs of 3 years when I came home from a very exhausting day at work and found that he had applied these words above the headboard of our bed “When I hold you, I hold everything.(sigh)

I’m a book worm, so they will always be my favorite form of word “art”.
Heather says
WORD ME! I love plays on words, words with multiple meanings, etc.
Kristen says
WORD ME!
My favorite word happens to be “juxtapose.” My friend and I had a game to see who could find “juxtapose” or any of its derivatives the most in a 6 month time span without intentionally looking for it (so, for example, if someone said it in the news, or you read it on a blog). I don’t remember who won, but I do remember it was neck and neck for a while.
Jen M says
Word Me!
Mary says
WORD ME!
I love artwork that feature typography. They mean so much and say things you mean to say, but don’t know how. I bought my son the “You are Awesome” poster by Kal Barteski and it’s my favorite thing in my home.
Tiffany says
WORD ME!
I love it when I find a really clever and creative children’s’ book, especially when it rhymes!
Janelle says
WORD ME!
I am a lover of song lyrics! I truly think that there is a song that can express every emotion and feeling you can have. Nothing brings me back to a special moment in my life they way a song can. Love them!

OrangePekoe says
WORD ME! I’m a sucker for beautifully written recipes and food blogs. I inhaled Molly Wizenberg’s “A Homemade Life” cover to cover in one setting and go back to it both for the recipes and to get lost in her words.
