***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! My favorite foreign language moment was in Italy, when I decided to bust out the one phrase I remembered from my one semester of Italian, for “where is the bathroom.” Unfortunately, I didn’t think through that the person would respond in Italian, and I didn’t remember any of those words!

GRACE ME!
i am a teacher and for fun on the playground mostly we enjoy adding “ito”,”ita”, or “undo” to the end of some of the kids names…. for example there was a kid last year named raymond and we loved call him “ramundooooo”. also we have a boy this year that’s name is victor and we call him victor-citoooo! they love it when we call them by their made up name, they get giggly and run from us :)
it’s just fun!
Kristin says

pantalones…it brought a giggle out of my niece every time she said it, so it turned into one of my favorites :-)

“GRACE ME!” Handy Hubby and I both took Spanish in high school (although we didn’t go to high school together). He was more in it for the trip to Spain (my school never offered that trip) and can only remember the sentence “Donde estan mis pantalones?” We say that quite often to each other just for an impromtu laugh.

Grace me!
My favourite word, was one of the first words, I learned in Dutch – sinaasappelsap, which means orange juice. It just rolls off your tongue.

Grace Me!
When we were on our honeymoon in French Polynesia, my husband couldn’t get enough of the word, “pamplemousse” (grapefruit in French). To this day, it still makes me laugh!! :)
Jennie says
GRACE ME :)

M Yasmin says
Grace Me!
Tara says
GRACE ME! I love the word “franchement” which just means frankly in French, but I always feel that if you slip it in at the beginning of any sentence, you sound smarter. My fav slip-up was when I told my host family that I had been all alone (seul) that day, I actually told them I was completely drunk (soul).
jina says

Kelly says
Grace Me!
:-) My favorite sound-taste-word is “pofferjes”, a Dutch dessert!
Meagan says
GRACE ME! I would say my most used foreign phrase would have to be “Bonjour, ma mere!” It’s usually how I answer the phone when my mom calls me, even though she knows not a single french word.
Megan Belfield says

Que Cosa!!
‘Good grief’ in spanish…love it, say it all the time.

GRACE ME!
My favorite saying isn’t in another language, but it’s something that I constantly remind myself of. I always say; “Too blessed to be stressed!” It’s a great thing to remind yourself of.
Tylyn says
Grace me
“Shalom!”
Corinne says
Grace Me!
Aussie slang always makes phrases sound amusing: ‘how’s the serenity’, ‘where’s the dunny’, ‘chuck us me sunnies’ (but then, that might just be an Aussie thing?)
Love your blog by the way!…Cheers, Corinne
Jaclyn Gibson says
Grace me!
I live in S. Korea, and I love a lot of the Korean language, but my fav. is actually a type of food called “Bi Bim Bop”–It tastes amazing, AND it’s fun to order…dinner and entertainment. “Cho-gi-yo! Bi bim bop Juseyo!!”
Sarah Johnson says

I like turning regular words into spanish by saying an “el” before the word and adding an “o” to the end of it.
El GRACE-O Me

GRACE ME!!! Maybe for me it would be the word for total, unconditional love freely given to me called Agape love, from the Bible.
Whitney says

Papillon means butterfly in french, and I love the mental image of the papillon dog with its big butterfly ears.
