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.

Word Garden Pillows

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.

    “I’m a sucker for quotes.” – Mika Anna
    Funny quotes, meaningful quotes, quotes that make no sense. I like them on shirts, in framed pieces, and hidden in art!

    I love words everywhere, as long as it doesn’t look like a book when you walk into a room. I’ve had to restrain myself but these prizes would be perfect additions to my decor!

    I also love word tattoos but don’t have one myself just yet.

    I must be a child of the 21st century, because I am becoming addicted to words in the form of blogs. My husband and I just bought our first house, so my obsession with decorating and DIY-blogs will hopefully soon come in handy!

    WORD ME! Love these giveaways….I’ve been known to get lost in the prose of literature and forget the whole plot of a book. When someone asks me what the book was about all I can say is “well the style of writing was__ but you’ll have to check Amazon….”

    I love good song lyrics! I can’t choose my music by the beat alone. I love a good phrase too. And I love tshirts with cheesy humor. I have one with a cupcake holding its wrapper in its hand saying “nuuuuuude!” I seriously love it.

    word me. i like words with no capitals… i especially hate capital B, which is unfortunate because I have 2 such terrible letters in my name.. they aren’t as bad when they are in cursive but i just don’t care for them so i just prefer to write and type without capitals.
