***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!

My phrase is “Luke, sum ipse patrem te”, which is latin.
It means “Luke, I am your father.”
Good for a giggle anyway.

Prego — which means thank you
Xander says
In Latin – “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, sed dulcius pro patria vivere, et dulcissimum pro patria bibere. Ergo, bibamus pro salute patriae”
In English – “It is glorious and honorable to die for your country, but it is sweeter to live for your country, and the sweetest to drink to it. Therefore, let us drink to the longevity of our country.”
I like saying it in Latin better then the meaning.
ps – don’t let the beanette waste high school language class learning Latin.

“el bebe que no llora no come”
could be some grammatical errors, but my mom used to say all the time to me, it means “the baby that doesn’t cry doesn’t get fed” suggesting that if you don’t voice you want something, don’t expect to get it :)
thanks!

“Palabra a tu madre!” – Word to your mother!
I am a middle school teacher and my students think I am crazy when I pull out my Spanish…so I love to say random things to them in Spanish to catch them off guard!
