***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!

I’m not a big quoter, but I always have been fond of the simple “Se la vie”
Allison B. says
GRACE ME
I love “Me duele in mi cabeza.” It’s Spanish and basically means “I have a headache.” Way more fun to whine the Spanish version :)
abi says
Grace Me!
I like saying “oy vey” – which is a Hebrew phrase for dismay or exasperation “oh woe” just about any time I’m frustrated and can’t think of anything else to say.
Lark says
“GRACE ME” Je t’aime is my favorite phrase in French. I sometimes put little notes in my kids’ lunches with our secret little way to convey “I Love You.”
Christina says

The only thing I ever remember from French class is how to say, “Where is my dog?” ((( I won’t even attempt to write that in French! )))
Jessica G. says
Grace me!
“Il y a tout le monde sur le balcon” is a French expression that is kind of a quaint way of saying that a woman has a large chest.
It literally means “everyone is on the balcony.” It makes me giggle.

I love the Italian words Palazzo Vecchio because that’s where my husband and I were married!

GRACE ME
My husband and I vacationed to the Dominican Republic last summer. Everyday for breakfast I craved these steak fries that were served. To feel more authentic in the native country we began calling them the Spanish word for french fries…papas fritas! It’s fun to say and now it’s more of a nickname…papas fritas…mamas fritas!
Katie M says

I like “Quid est nomen tibi” which means “what is your name?” It was the very first thing I learned in Latin in the 7th grade.

I don’t know if I have a favorite word, but I love the french language. And, now that I am out of school, I am sad to say that my french is really deteriorating!
laura says
GRACE ME!
I love all the little expressions of surprise in French: zut alors! sacre bleu! and also how they can tell you they think you’re dumb by just saying “main non…” or “mais bien sur!” with a certain tone.
KimberlyH says
Grace Me!
Grace is my neice’s name! Such a beautiful name. My favorite saying would have to be “Merci Bocu” – not sure how to spell it but I just love how it sounds- so friendly and bubbly and polite! :)

My favorite saying in Spanish is “Saber es Poder” which means “to know is to be able to,” in other words “Knowledge is power.”
Lindsey says
Grace me!
C’est dangereux! It means It’s dangerous in French. Really, it has nothing to do with the meaning – but saying it with heart and a little bit of throat it is just super fun to say. (and, if said over and over again, a super awesome way of annoying your hubby! :) )
Katherine says
Grace me!
I love “Como andas?” which is a Spanish phrase which means literally, how do you walk, but translates to how’s are you doing? In Buenos Aires, my favorite city in the world, that’s how you greet your friends, and I love it.
Kendall says
GRACE ME!
Je t’aime! ( I like you en francais) ;)

Jessica says
Grace me! My favorite thing to say in English is “Pick me!”
Annie says
GRACE ME :)
I love the italian word “allora”…it just makes me laugh. When we lived in Italy, it seemed like allora was every other word used by Italians (kind of how we use “ummm” although it doesn’t mean that), and none of them could ever translate/explain the use of the word…hehe :)
