***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.

Jo @ Let's Face the Music says
WORD ME! Song lyrics are my words of choice. For some reason I’m able to remember with ease any words set to music. If the history of the world-places and dates-had musical accompaniment, I don’t think you could stump me. PS: I need me some “chic European flair” as John so eloquently describes Word Garden.

Elysha says
Word Me… I am a teacher so words in books and writing
Colleen says
WORD ME!
The latest DIY magazine, with of course an appearance from our favortie YHL couple… shows how to use old books to store knick knacks. Although the words aren’t always seen a beautiful book cover can be turned into a chic and classic way to store your most precious things…maybe a love note from the Hubs or your kids?! :)

I’m a writer, so I’m obsessed with words! I’m also a Pinterest junkie, and I have a whole pinboard dedicated to quotes and sayings that I want to print in cool fonts and use as wall decor. Words rock, and those pillows and the wreath would totally rock my world!

WORD ME! The lost art of love letters are my favorite. A stack of old love lettes tied with a ribbon gets to me. I wonder whatever happend to my grandpa’s letters to my grandma from when he was in WWII?! Second favorite would have to be song lyrics.
