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 recently discovered yor blog and am thoroughly enjoying reading back through all of the archived posts.

    I’m a total book worm and also enjoy any kind of typographic art.

    Thanks!

    WORD ME!

    I majored in English, so I’ll take words in any form! However, I most love putting phrases and words on canvas/wood and incorporating it into home accents.

    Word Me! I love words in any form….simply one word in any type style, a phrase or random words selected for some reason. Words are cool!

    WORD ME!!! please!

    I Do love art with words in it, and am trying to decide what to put up on my new apartment’s bare walls! But I think song lyrics are my real jam. If I hear a song I like 1 time it’s possible I will remember 60-80% of the words! If only my brain wasn’t filled with sooo many lyrics- and maybe instead with some more useful stuff???

    Word Me! I love old typographical throwbacks and vintage handwriting. I bought a dozen old postcards in France just for the handwriting examples :)

    WoRd Me!

    When I walk into a room that has a meaningful or clever vinyl quote on the wall, I just smile. Some of my favorites are “Always kiss me goodnight” for the bedroom, “Laundry, ring bell for service. If you can’t find the bell, do it yourself” for the laundry room, etc.

    WORD ME!! As long as the word is in a unique and fun font I love it- no matter what it says. Ok well maybe not. I have to somewhat like the word for it to go in my house!

    Word Me! I love the written word and printed word. When I write as in write novels (not published) I love to write out in long hand on lined paper. Computer word processor is for later after the thoughts are fleshed out.

    WORD ME! My fiance, a graphic designer, has shown me how awesome typefaces can be. I’m a sucker for a good san serif, though I’m also learning to love a good, loopy calligraphy style (a la our wedding invites) :)

    WORD ME! I am a word lover…but my favorite way to hear words is when my children say them…whether they all of a sudden use a new vocabulary word for the first time or hearing them mispronounce a word in the adorable way that a mom loves…
