***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!

Grace Me…
One of my favorites is mariposa = butterfly.
Thank you for the opportunity!
Kelsey says
GRACE ME. My favorite Italian word is “andiamo,” which means “we go.” It has always seemed like a perfect declaration to say, “Let’s go!”
alissa says

I’m too horrible at other languages to even know any phrases. sad.

GRACE ME! Por favor.
Lindsey says

Mine is not necessarily about another langauge, but my Grandmother came from Scotland, and brought with her certain words and phrases…one of my favorites is adding the word “wee” in front of a noun, ex. “I am going to have a wee cup of tea”

GRACE ME!!
I love to learn new languages. I started a tradition with my three kids: I kiss them and say good night in three different languages. To my oldest girl I say: Bonne nuit ma princesse, je t’aime. To my second daughter I say: Buona notte la mia principessa, l’amo! and to my boy: buenas noches mi principe,te amo! (that is good night my princess(es) and prince), I love you (french, italian and spanish)
Anne says

I like how Italians have the same word for hello and goodbye… Ciao!
Sally says
GRACE ME!
I lived in Spain for years, and one of my favorite expressions in Spanish is, “diálago de sordos,” meaning, “dialogue of the deaf.” It is used to denote a conversation going nowhere, in which the participants are talking past one another.

GRACE ME!
I’m touring in Japan right now, so I’m constantly learning new phrases from my handy-dandy Japanese dictionary. So fun to be able to communicate with someone in a different language!
I use “Watashi no CD wo hanbai shiteimasu katte kudasai” every night, which basically means, “Please buy my CD!” Haha.
Laura says
Grace Me! “Sonrisas son gratis” Smiles are Free…My boyfriend and I tell each other this to make the other smile after a long day of work.
Becky B says

Megan says
GRACE ME!
“Te vas a encantar!” – ‘you’re going to love it’ in spanish. one of those you had to be there moments in class but a spanish phrase i’ll never forget!
laura says
GRACE ME!
I spent a semester in Ghana, and learned one of the local languages there, Twi. Their word for “thank you” is madasse papaaa…pa. The longer you hold the middle “paaa” sound, the more thankful you are!
Jamie says
GRACE ME!
I love to learn fun tongue twisters from other languages. In Spanish: “Tres Tristes Tigres.”
Dawn says

The first time my husband said he loved me. J’taime!

GRACE ME
???? – It’s a Chinese idiom which means when the student surpasses the teacher
Jenny says
These are incredible – GRACE ME! Hard to narrow it down to one phrase. I think anything in Italian sounds romantic, and anything in German can sound intimidating. My most used phrase in any language is “Sorry, I don’t speak ____.”
Lynn says
Grace me! The tahitian word “Mauruuru” (thank you) always brings back fond memories of our honeymoon.
Kristin says
GRACE ME!
Kartoffel!
We often use random German words in our daily conversation. This weeks favorite is “kartoffel” (potatoe).
It’s amazing how often you can throw this baby into every day chit-chat.

“Eye Goo!” is always fun to say in our house. It means “oh my!” in Korean. My grandmother said it often.
