***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.

I love to put my kids names on everything. And, I love to label things. (A little too much, lol)

WORD ME!
I’m a sucker for the written word in books… most recently in my Kindle!
Melody says
WORD ME!
Stephanie says
Word me PUUHHHLEEEAAAAZ!
I love words displayed out of the ordinary. Like cut off or cropped, oversized, all alone in empty space, etc. etc. Basically I hate words when they’re crammed together on a page… aka reading : )

WORD ME!!
I love my words in a book! :-)
sara says
WORD ME!
I love books, especially old ones and misprinted ones, hand made ones and ones with marginalia. I love seeing someone else’s secrets scribbled in the pages.
Emily says
Word me!
I love my words best when they come in a good book. When I was little, I loved reading so much that my parents would take away my books when I was naughty, rather than sending me to my room.
Chaela de Gouveia says
WORD ME!!!! I love words on canvas mostly!!! Love cards and letters too though, cause they’re more personal:)
Shannon Zickrick says
WORD ME! I’m a traditionalist… and my favorite words are in books like Pride and Prejudice. We even gave our son the middle name “Arden” for my love of passionate language. :)
anne says
WORD ME!
I *heart* letterpress.
Ashlie says
Word Me!!
Song lyrics absolutely do it for me, but I have to say listening to my new baby girl trying to form her own words is completely melting my heart!

Margaret says
Word me!! I like words on blogs! ;)
kate says
WORD ME!
words are amazing! it’s amazing that we can string together a bunch of letters (made from curves and lines) and then communicate a myriad of thoughts, stories and such. i’m teaching my son about letters and how to write them and getting back to these very basics makes me really excited about watching him learn words, learn to read, etc.
Courtney J says
I love taking favorite quotes and putting them somewhere visible in the home whether it be in a frame, on a sign, vinyl graphics, anything that is an inspiration to you as an individual or as a family.
Kelsey says
WORD ME!
I love reading quotes (from anywhere- tv shows, songs, books, etc) because you can always find something applicable to exactly how you are feeling at the moment!
Kara says
WORD ME!
Love me some love notes or diaries from when I was 10
Esmeralda says
WORD ME! I love funny phrases on baby t-shirts.
Ali says
WORD ME! Books first, always. And magazines… there’s something I adore about magazines, and then cutting words out of magazines to make collages and different art projects. It’s hard to keep them classy, but it’s possible! Love the blog, and the wreath, and the pillows! Fingers are crossed.
Susan Vahlkamp says
WORD ME!
I love words in artwork
liz J says
Word Me!!
Please? Heh. Anyway, I’m a pretty big fan of words…I love to read and I was a voice major for a while so I also love words put to music. I’m don’t usually love bumper stickers or t-shirts with phrases, but every once in a while there’s a good one.
Kimberly says
WORD ME! I am a huge fan of books! Nothing is better then a great book. :)

Word me!
Kate says
WORD ME!! I love words in all forms, especially in graphic art, captured in photos, but most of all in books, where words take me away to whole new worlds!
Kim says
WORD ME!
I love personal notes from my family from Germany and my husband. Even a little Post-it saying “I love you” has a special meaning and deserves a special place ;)
Wendy says
WORD ME!
Song lyrics are my favorite :)
Kimberly says
Word Me! I love words that toddlers try to pronounce. My son loved Apple Jacks when he was a toddler… he’d say “more appa ja peas.”
Joscelynne says
WORD ME!!!
I’m a sucker for old-fashioned hand written letters.
Courtney says

I’m a sucker for a great postcard with a lovely phrase or quote on it. Postal mail is the best!
Amanda says
WORD ME!
I’m definitely a sucker for typographic art. I long for one of those city maps made up entirely of words, like this: http://www.designbuildseattle.com/journal/2011/07/seattle-neighborhood-poster/ .

WORD ME!
I love words in the form of subtitles on a ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ rerun, during a catfight so loud you can’t hear what anyone is saying.
