***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 words in all forms. I love seeing them, listening to them, saying them, and even feeling them. I particularly love seeing my son learn new words and the delicious pleasure it gives him to name things
Julie says
WORD ME! I think my love for words is demonstrated in the many bookshelves in our house. I never seem to have enough books on hand or have read enough. Although, I also have to say, I really like the spoken word. I listen to a lot of talk radio and I love hearing a good speech, poetry, or quotes.
Brenda says
WORD ME!!! I love it when words take the shape of a detailed story with a beginning, middle, and end on my second and third grade students papers. Words are never more beautiful!

WORD ME:
Song lyrics turned into typographic art are my jam!
Sandra says
Word me!
I love books, I really do. And I always told my boyfriend that ebooks will never catch on because too many people love printed words and that I, personally, would never like to read an ebook. Except, right now I’m reading a book that’s 1,200 pages. And it’s hardback. It weighs a ton. The ebook version only weighs as much as my ipad. And now I love ebooks.
Heather c says
WORD ME, Please!!!
Mia says
WORD ME!
I love words in unexpected places…or unexpected words in ordinary places. I think the his and hers pillows would make a great wedding gift too!
cc says
WORD ME!
This post has me thinking about how I always pay attention to the font used in a movie’s opening credits, though rarely on a book’s cover unless it’s really unusual. And I’m always a sucker for anything in Italian. Hmmm..
Lauren says
Word me! I need some new pillows to go with my placemat pillows – a la Katie Bower.

I don’t care what forms words take as long as they are somehow written down.

WORD ME!
Love words everywhere. Read everything even directions in foreign languages.

WORD ME! I really love words screen printed on fabric and fancy paper.
Carly Cleghorn says
WORD ME!
I’ve a friend who has access to a professional letterpress setup, and when I visited her just last week, she’d hung a new piece of self-made word art: “nothing is worse than doing nothing,” hung one word per sheet on the wall right across her bed. The perfect sentiment to prod you awake, hehe.
Caroline says
WORD ME!!
Jenny M says
WORD ME! I love the written word. My parents are on a music mission in Santiago, Chile and I look forward to their weekly emails simply titled “long email #whatever”. No matter what I am doing i stop and read their sweet words.

Traditional – love the pages of a book, the smell of the paper and ink. If only I could find a way to get paid for reading fiction! Love that wreath!
Stephanie L. says
WORD ME!
I love words (written in all kinds of penmanship–legible or not) with any kind of urgency written on receipts, paper bags, the edges of newspapers, the backs of photos, junk mail, or on a lovely hand-picked card.
Heather says
WORD ME because I’m counting down to my 30th birthday this Saturday, and there are no sweeter words in the world than HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

WORD ME!
I love smart, play on words lyrics more then anything!
Rebecca J-E says
“WORD ME!”
I’m a traditionalist! Anything bound woos me, especially my wedding day inspirational verses:
Hang my locket around your neck,
wear my ring on your finger.
Love is invincible facing danger and death.
Passion laughs at the terrors of hell.
The fire of love stops at nothing—
it sweeps everything before it.
Flood waters can’t drown love,
torrents of rain can’t put it out.
Love can’t be bought, love can’t be sold—
it’s not to be found in the marketplace.
