***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 love quotes/saying! a friend posted this recently:
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” — Dr. Seuss

“WORD ME!”
I love typographic art! I think it stems from my love of doodling and writing my name over and over again in different forms of bubble letters. =)
Nancy says
Word me! I love words and letters in art. For my sister’s birthday, I went around town and took pictures of letters to form her initials. It was one of my favorite presents to give away.

WORD ME! I like to read church signs, at least the one that used to be on my drive home when I lived in VA. It always had thoughtful and sometimes comical life sayings. Once it said “God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts”.

WORD ME!! One of my favorite funny tee’s is a picture of the state of Texas saying “We grow ’em big in Delaware”.
Laurie says
WORD ME!
I adore typographic art. I particularly like it when the type transcends whatever word it represents and becomes art in and of itself. I spend hours scrolling through font after font when I’m working on a design project, not because I can’t find a good font but because I love them all (well, with the exception of Comic Sans, Papyrus, and Marker Felt).

WORD ME!
I love getting lost in books. That’s the best.
I love lyrics also
I actually met a bumper sticker I didn’t like.
Not so much that I didn’t like it because it was shocking funny in a REALLY crude way (if you’re riding my a$$ you better be pulling my hair), but my 15 year old boy saw it and and started laughing in this 15 year old way like he knows something I don’t, and before I can say a word to him, this hoochy mama college girl doing the walk of shame hoochy walks past us, and my son says “nice bumper sticker” (I nearly faint) and then she turns around and saucily says ‘you like that, huh?’ then turns around and slaps herself on the butt. My son is all like…’aw yeah’,( I really don’t think he was realizing I was standing next to him). So I wacked him upside the head, we got what we were getting then I freaked out on him, back in the car.
I swear, it was one of the funniest things ever (not that I let him know that), but I couldn’t believe it was my son.
