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.

    WORD ME…

    BEER ME TOO…???…!!!

    I’m a big sucker for typography! I think some of my fav things to see are “tounge in cheek” signs outside churches! I live in Arkansas and my favourite signs have read the following “So you think it’s hot here” and “We prefer the fruits of the spirit to religious nuts”…

    WORD ME!

    I love words, period. Books, quotes, typography art, calligraphy, book covers (whole different thing than books), sog lyrics, even graffiti and tattoos. Love it. The only way I’m not big into words is on slogan tshirts- I’ve never been amused by the “The voices in my head say I’m cool” type of stuff.

    WORD ME! I am a sucker for song lyrics! My husband is a musician and there’s just nothing like hearing a song that someone has written for/about you for the first time!

    I’m big on words as art, too. I love a giant old weathered grocery sign or product ad hung in a sweet little cottage. Or, perfectly enough, on pillows!

    Word me! I can’t think of any way I DON’T love words. Words hold so much power – to encourage, to lift spirits, but also to break people down and destroy. They must be wielded carefully, for they are a great weapon. I must admit there seems to be something a little more special associated with handwritten words though!

    Word me! I love seeing my husband’s thoughts in cards and little love notes. It’s nice to go back and read what he’s written over the last few years.

    I really like word wall decals! I haven’t actually been able to use one myself yet since we’re still apartment dwellers, but I search etsy a lot and have my eye on a few cute and classy ones for when we get a place of our own. :)

    Word me! My husband and I met in college where we both majored in words (I’m a Spanish teacher, he is a journalist). I love words in any form, especially a foreign language.

    I love the written word… One of my favorite places is the library! I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to use an E-reader because I’ll miss the words on the page too much!

    WORD ME! I saw a bumper sticker that really irritated me the other day, it said “MAKE WAR” it was a US Marines sticker. Yeah, lets promote war, what a great idea.

    WORD ME!

    My weakness is when I get a text from my husband randomly in the middle of the day. Sometimes it’s silly, sometimes it’s sweet, and sometimes it’s just asking me what our plans are. My favorites are the ones that surprise me with their sweetness, for no reason at all.
