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 written word in general and in any form. I was a total nerd growing up and used to read the dictionary for fun and I still write handwritten notes to friends and family.

    “WORD ME!”
    I love creating words with those large cardboard letters you can buy at craft stores – plain and full of so many possibilities!

    WORD ME

    I love curling up with a good book and a warm cup of coffee on a cold night. Or sitting outside with a book (also the coffee ;) ) in the early spring/summer mornings before anyone else is up and enjoying reading someone’s words and story while enjoying my yard. It’s very peaceful and moving, and a great way to start the day.

    WORD ME! As a fine artist I am always trying to say things without words. I would say that I am a traditionalist and like words in books (and blogs of course).

    WORD ME!!! I am a huge sucker for simple yet powerful phrases transferred onto canvas. I love putting these up in my apartment because the meaning of the words really gives the room a certain kind of vibe :)

    WORD ME!

    I love funny sayings on t-shirts. But I love the ones that you see on baby onesies and clothes…the ones that border on being inappropriate. I once bought my 6 mos old nephew a onesie that said “Daddy drinks because I cry.” It still cracks me up…and my nephew is now 7.

    WORD ME!!!

    I love anything written in French, also my new FAV:

    Kia kaha is a M?ori phrase used by both the M?ori and P?keh? (European) people of New Zealand. It means forever strong and is used as an affirmation.

    Right now, I am loving any word my six year old writes. His handwriting is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

    WORD ME!! While I wouldn’t ever get one for myself–I have to crack up at the creativity of personalized license plates. One I saw recently…”HE LIED” Yikes!
