***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.
Jenn says
I like movie and book quotes a lot. But occasionally I hear song lyrics that really move me and I jot them down. One year, I decided to write down words or quotes that inspired me every day. It’s very refreshing to go back and read through them.
Sarah says
“WORD ME!” the numbers and letters that people use to decorate with…. example, a single letter R for a boy’s room if his name is Riley.

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ’til tomorrow
For babies grow up
I’ve learned, to my sorrow
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep
I’m rocking my baby,

WORD ME!!

I like when everyday words are put into a foreign language. I have a tattoo on my side that says la dolce vita…and it means the sweet life. Just a little reminder that life is sweet everyday, but it sounds so much better in italian !!!
Leigh says
WORD ME!!
I loooooooove to read, and wish I had 25-hr days to stay up a bit later each night . . . getting lost in a book without dragging at work the next morning would be nice! I distinctly remember the moment I realized my future husband loved to read as much as I did, that sealed the deal for me!
