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 like words best on the walls and in art around my house. From our word-y art pieces to our ABC bathroom…

    WORD ME! I’m a sucker for vintage signs. I can’t get enough of the lettering, especially if it’s hand-painted.

    WORD ME!! I love quotes, and particularly Mark Twain quotes. I like having meaningful sayings around my house.

    WORD ME!!

    I like to see words in many languages! I learned French growing up and my husband speaks Spanish fluently, so we’re always throwing out foreign words in conversation :)

    Word Me…

    I love that book/newspaper pages and sheet music can be used in so many interesting ways these days– like behind black and white photos, decopaged onto ornaments, simply framed etc. Great repurposing opportunities. (and ps– I love the Mr. and Mrs. pillows– so cute!)

    WORD ME!! I am a writer, so I love words in all forms – in books, on signs, on wall art, but especially, in my notebook or computer screen :) I’m a new reader and I love your blog, by the way. I wish I could do what you’re doing, but my husband hates physical labor and I’m just not sure I have it in me to do it all myself.

    WORD ME!!!! My two favorites are the first words my son says and the words in his story books; nothing better than reading the words “I love you to the moon and back!”

    WORD ME! I love words in all forms, but especially when they’re used in a new way to make you go “Oh!” and then laugh. :)

    WORD ME! One of my hobbies is “photo art” where I take some of my photography and edit it by adding words or goofy phrases to the photo. I do it mostly to entertain myself, have had so much positive feedback that I’m thinking of opening an etsy shop!

    Word me! I love a good bumper sticker any day. Also, the Extreme reference in the title of this post is killer!

    WORD ME! ;-)

    Those Mr. & Mrs. pillows are sooo lovely and perfect accents for a newlywed couple in the midst of furnishing their first home (Definitely MY inspiration for wanting them!)

    For me, the most unforgettable form words have taken were the heartfelt vows my husband and I wrote for each other for our wedding. We now have them framed as a visual reminder of what we promised each other that day.
    I know it’s totally sappy, but hey at this stage that’s still a good thing, right?? ;-)

    I love wall decal phrases! They really add a personal touch to any room. Tip – You can find lots of cute (and cheap) ones on Etsy.
