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!

    As a teacher, I’m a sucker for punch out letters. I try to do a lot with a little…which makes for some interesting word choices :)

    WORD ME!

    My husband and I just celebrated our first anniversary, and in lieu of a “paper” gift he engraved my wedding band (with “Proverbs 31:10-13” about the wife of “noble character”). It made me cry in a good sense!

    Being married to a graphic designer who was trained in the Swiss style of print design, fonts/letters/words/phrases are a big deal around here, especially the way in which they’re laid out. Simplicity and purpose are key!

    Won’t you “word me” please. I love words as tools to carve ideas, and as quotations to inspire.

    I’m a nut for typographic art, too! I once spent an entire weekend on dafont.com, trying to design my own! 48 hours well spent!

    WORD ME!

    I do have a thing for t-shirts. I teach college and am contemplating trying to go a whole month of classes in just my science-dork shirts. But – books will always win, especially the tiny print of a huge novel.

    WORD ME! I like words in all kinds of forms! I think my favorites (at least right now) are books.

    WORD ME! I love quotes. Words put together so well, that can be referenced at the perfect time. Brillant.

    WORD ME!!

    I love words that take meaning… family words (ie: last names, cities/towns). There such a strong meaning behind the name when you see it on someone’s wall.

    I’m also a cookbook girl! Love reading words in a cookbook!

    WORD ME!!
    VA license plates send me over the edge. Apparently it’s really cheap to get a vanity plate here, so EVERYONE seems to have one. It’s hard to drive around and not run into things for reading all the license plates.

    Word Me! I’m a sucker for the sung “word”, that’s how my husband won me over! Also, I always go back to this fantastic painting a friend had over some old sheet music. It was of a couple dancing. I just LOVED it! I like the idea of re-purposing!

    Word me! Well actually, word my best friend Jennifer… She just moved into a sweet apartment outside New York City so she could finally live with her new husband and so she could take a publishing job. She has never met a word she didn’t like, from old books to digital media to letterpress, so I would love to be able to gift her with these beautiful pillows and wreath for her new home!
