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’ve always been a word nerd. I especially love typographic art and a good bumper sticker (on someone else’s car) is always good for a laugh. Sometimes I like to peruse http://shirt.woot.com just ’cause. (I’m a teacher and not affiliated with them- they’re just funny.)

    WORD ME! My 21 month old niece is a little parrot-so cool to hear words out of her mouth for the first time. :)

    WORD ME! Some of the words that move me the most are text messages from my guy. They are the modern love letter, after all, and when done properly they can be so sweet and so meaningful.

    WORD ME!!!!!
    I love books more than most things, but I also love typographic art. We’ve been looking for some cool pieces for our new house, and I have a hard time narrowing it all down!

    WORD ME!
    I adore words in any form – they enable us to connect with each other and share our individual experiences, and are the most direct form of self-expression (besides funny faces!) we have. Descriptors are the best – Anthropologie products descriptions are my word-use-nirvana! :)

    WORD ME!!

    The power of words in a hand-written, then stamped and mailed letter… When was the last time you got one of those. Not a thank you note or an invitation but just a legitimate letter? … I love it.

    I like inspirational quotes and try to keep some on my fridge, in my office, by my dresser…

    I love music, so I definitely have a soft spot for beautifully written lyrics. I can also appreciate a good book!

    WORD ME! I love the written word and all of the ways words can be used to bring joy, challenge and enrich. This can be true of the spoken word as well…which can show kindness and care. Words are so powerful!

    WORD ME!

    I remember lyrics to all songs, both common and obscure, so I guess that’s the words I am most comfortable with.

    WORD ME!!! I love all words, but especially words as wall art, like “EAT” on the wall in the kitchen. I also love Roman Numerals, which are a very peculiar form of words :)

    WORD ME!
    I love old books and re purposing their pages for art around my house, framing an old page with a line or two highlighted is fun and can be very personal.

    WORD ME! I’m a lifelong book-lover, but my college roommate, a graphic design major, helped develop my appreciation of typographic art. I’m firmly of the opinion that you just can’t go wrong when it comes to words.
