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 words almost anywhere. I work at a library so of course book are high on the list… but I’ve recently become enamored of the idea of homemade wall art using lyrics, poetry, favorite quotes, verses, etc – things that are so much more personal than the generic cutesy/cheesy/happy sayings you can find anywhere.

    WORD ME

    I used to memorize poems by Shelley, Keats, Lorca, and Poe when I was in middle school. It’s still kind of a habit. I’m a sucker for just about anything well written.

    WORD ME!

    I am just beginning to incorporate words and letters into my home decor, but the words that strike me most are quotes and witty or humorous sayings.

    Word Me!!

    I painted teh front of my basement bar with cursive style lyrics from my favorite songs. From far away it just looks like curls and swirls, but up close it matches perfectly with my music themed bar basement!

    “WORD ME!” I love the written word in the most traditional way– books. But I’d love to have a pillow with words!

    i’m a big sucker for typeface and language. In HS I had the ENTIRETY of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” typed out (by yours-truly) and printed, and covering my bedroom doors.

    clothing, furniture, artwork, my favs always have words. love them.

    WORD ME! I love words in poetry or song. Reason being, it’s open to interpretation. What it means to you could be totally different than what I think!

    I love word art–I’ve been buying frames that have Beatles lyrics on them and hanging them up around the house. I’m addicted!

    I love words in books/art/poems and those that make you laugh when you read them – any style can catch my eye.

    Thanks for the chance!
