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!

    I love the wall prints which display single words or interesting quotes using interesting font/size/direction changes — NOT in that cheesy “inspirational message” fashion, but something quirky, fun and contemporary.

    I’m a huge fan of letterpress signs. There’s something so lovely about that raised text.

    WORD ME!

    I’ll read anything: books, magazines, newspapers, and the side of cereal boxes. And I love me some hand-written letters now and then.

    WORD ME! :) I am a sucker for any typographic art. I love big old sign letters. My favorite word art in our house is giant letters that spell out the word EAT in our kitchen, handmade by my fiance. :)

    Word me! As a teacher, I love introducing kids to new and interesting words. My favorites are muscovite mica (just fun to say out loud!), anadromous, and cuneiform.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

    Definitely a traditionalist when it comes to words. I so enjoy a good read…a good novel, magazine, and yes, a love note would be nice!

    WORD ME! I’m more of a traditionalist and have to reign myself in when it comes to collecting books, but I love wall art as a way to express myself.

    WORD ME!

    I am a bookworm, so I guess I am a traditionalist. I do love word art though – some of those pillows are so gorgeous!

    I am really loving words as art right now. Currently eyeing a floor to ceiling Beatles quote painted in block letters right on the wall. Inspiration is from Pinterest.

    WORD ME!

    Literally anything that is not school related right now! I still have one year left of grad school so I treasure any time spent reading books or blogs that un-school related.

    WORD ME! I love anything typographic, but especially our family initial or our kids’ initials on decor. :)

    WORD ME! :) I absolutely LOVE word art…quotes, lyrics, single words–whatever form, I’m a huge fan. I really enjoy when typographic is combined with creative art to clearly display the word, but in a creative way conveying the meaning behind the word, phrase, etc.

    Thanks!
