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 handwritten notes and cards. My friends joke around that I’m single handedly keeping the post office in business :)

    I’m a sucker for words – puns, plays on words, typographic art – you name it! I especially like this blog: http://shoppinglosts.blogspot.com/, which (sadly) isn’t regularly updated anymore. It takes lost/found shopping lists and turns them into typographic pieces of art!

    WORD ME! I love words on walls, in books, in frames, or on chalkboards! I have a pretty huge obsession with books, and I need a whole room dedicated to just keeping them ;)

    I love really neat printing. I was at a coffee shop in Waynesville, NC called Panacea and they had hand written the menu in chalk and it was absolutely wonderful. There was nothing special about the menu, just the actual printing of the words.

    WORD ME!

    I love reading and I do love some typographic art, too. For some reason I love fonts that bring to mind vintage circuses, so words written in those fonts are the best!

    Shakespeare, of course. Just kidding, I love song lyrics… but I secretly like to make up my own words to fit whatever I’m doing.

    WORD ME! I have always had a love of typography. Luckily as a graphic designer I get paid to obsess over letterforms daily. Those pillows rock!!

    Word me! I love all words – quotes, song lyrics, an occasional inspirational block of text in a frame – I love them all! But numbers? Numbers and I just do not agree.

    WORD ME!!! Any form of the written word appeals to me. I have words in every room of my house, wooden words, framed words, photographs of letters that make words.

    I am a sucker for typographic art. However, I’m also a big sucker for perfect lyrics. How great is it when a song not only a has a beautiful melody, but equally wonderful lyrics as well!

    WORD ME! Pleaseeeeeeeee!
    I love SIMPLE typography – the simplicity of it and some good old fashioned wise words make for a beautiful and perfect work of art!

    WORD ME!

    Most of the artwork in my house is DIY’d quotes from books or lyrics! Lately I get inspired from the children’s books I read to my DD.
