***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Since our eyes are constantly peeled for fun nursery art lately, we’re psyched to bring you this week’s giveaway from Grace Hester Designs. And even if you’re not expecting a little one, you might just spot the perfect piece to commemorate your wedding, your brood, or even your love of foreign languages amongst Grace’s type and silhouette-based art.
We love the idea of our little beanette learning some Spanish numbers or French animal names through these punchy designs (or even picking up a Chinese character or two). And it’s because of Grace’s fun range of prints that we couldn’t bear to narrow down this week’s prize to a specific group of designs – so TWO of you are gonna score a $50 credit toward anything in Grace’s etsy shop.
Here are this week’s entry details:
- PRIZE: A $50 credit towards any item from Grace Hester Designs
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GRACE ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …share with us your favorite word or saying from another language. Do you love the way a certain Italian word rolls off your tongue? Or maybe you have a go-to phrase that you learned when traveling abroad? If nothing else, is there an English word that sounds especially funny to you in Pig Latin?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 17th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: All over the globe!
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Jackie says
GRACE ME!! One of our daughters has always been interested in other languages. When she was in 2nd grade she translated a prayer that she’d made up into Japanese, because we’d had a Japanese houseguest a few years prior. Since then, she’s taken Latin, German and is an opera singer so French and Italian are in the mix as well. If I won this I’d give it to her!

Grace me! Not sure if this counts, but I like to say things in Yiddish, even when I don’t know what they mean. :) Dangerous, probably, but luckily my husband thinks it’s funny!

Grace Me!
My husband spent a few years in Japan and although I always thought it was cool that he had picked up a few things I absolutely love to hear him count to five in Japanese to our little girl. It is adorable!
Janelle says
Grace Me!
valerie says
GRACE ME!!
I am currently learning French, so right now I love the sound of anything French!!
Suzy says
GRACE ME, por favor! At some point in college I started using a modification of the Dreyfus Affair’s J’Accuse: “J’Refuse.” It may really be how you say “I refuse” in French; I don’t know… But I just like it as a more stubborn way of telling my friends and family that I refuse to do something.
Rachel says
GRACE ME!
Capiche?
Lauren says
Grace me!
“C’est tres chic” is fun to say, especially when you are being overly dramatic. By the way, her prints are “tres chic”!
Ashley W. says
GRACE ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the Hawaiian phrase, “Aloha, E Koma Mai Ka Aina” Which means “Welcome to my island”
Chelsea says
Grace Me

GRACE ME
Je ne sais pas.
Saying that I don’t know en Francais just always sounds much better to me.
Sarah says
GRACE ME
Mine is “ciao bella!” In Italy they add “beautiful” to so many salutations and I just love it. I am 100% Italian, and moved there during college for a while.
Laine says
GRACE ME!
I remember random bits of Spanish from high school. One thing that gets stuck in my head is a song that starts out “que llueva, que llueva”
Here it is: http://www.mamalisa.com/?t=es&p=557&c=71
Kelsey says
GRACE ME!
A friend of mine had one italian phrase, and he would use it all the time. It’s kind of my favorite, and usually a non sequitar: “No, non voglio gli orsi.”
which means “No, I do not want the bears.”
So it’s useful should you ever be in italian bear country, I suppose.
Loren says
GRACE ME
Megan says
“GRACE ME”
Favorite word learned abroad is “unglaublich.” In German it means unbelievable or amazing.
Lisa A says
Grace Me.
I like “super mignon”. It means “super cute” and is an exclamation heard when clothes shopping in France. A good old “enchante” is nice when being introduced to someone.
Elizabeth B. says
Grace me!
Favorite foreign saying: “mon petit chou” which in french literally means “my little cabbage” but is a term of affection :-)
Christine says
Grace me! I love tripping up my husband with the few French phrases I remember from high school. He’s supposed to be able to read French for his doctoral program, and it’s fun to feel superior from time to time.
Alissa says
Grace Me!
‘Tant pis’ is one of the phrases that I took home with me after studying in Paris. It translates to something like ‘oh well’ or ‘too bad’ and always seemed to me like something Eeyore would say.
ashley says
GRACE ME!

Ashley Potvin says
GRACE ME!
I Love You= Te Amo
Short & sweet!
Kate says
grace me!
My husband’s crazy greek grandmother (he really has one – just like in the movie!) frequently mocks people who offer her coffee by saying “kafedaki…kafedaki…” in a sing-song voice – literal translation is “little coffee”
every morning while i’m making coffee i find myself muttering “kafedaki…kafedaki…”
Kelly says
Grace me! My favorite phrase…’I love you mama!’
Brigid says
Grace me!!
Bon dia! (Bon gia is how it sounds)

Des sauccisson! Sausage, in French!
Alyssa says
GRACE ME!
My favorite is “ahorrimismo”. I’m sure I’m not spelling that right, but I don’t want to check RIGHT NOW. (That’s what it means…I think).
Trevor says
GRACE ME (please)
When my wife (who is fluent in Russian) was teaching me how to say “I Love You” she let me know a funny way to remember — Yellow Blue Bus. It seems, when spoken fast, to sound like that (to English ears).
Christine says
GRACE ME!
My favorite french word to say is “hippopotame” which translates to hippopotamus It’s just such a fun word to say.

I now LOVE the word “fark” for “fart”. I am not gross or anything…hear me out….my 2 year old son started to say the word whenever he farted and instead of saying fart, he says, “I fark”! It cracks me every time he says it! What a cutie!
Danielle says
Grace Me! I love saying Hola! It’s the Sanish equivalent to the English word Hello.
