***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.
“Pamplemousse” is a pretty solid french word (grapefruit). And “pomplamoose” is a solid musical duo! Check ’em out on youtube.
Melanie S says
GRACE ME!!!

Grace Me!
I loved the three or four chinese words I picked up over three weeks in China this summer. Only managed those few, what a tough language!
julie says
grace me!!
Cate says
Grace me!
My favorite comes from The Little Mermaid when the chef finds the crab hiding and exclaims, “Zut Alors, I have missed one!” I think it means shoot, or darn, but it cracks me up every time.
jane says
grace me!
my favorite korean word is kko-jib-uh, which means pinch (like with fingers). it’s also the only korean word my non-korean boyfriend knows. it’s become a bit of an inside joke for us, yelled out at random, inappropriate places and times.
raysongrrl says
grace me, please!
i have always loved the way “mom” in french sounds, mamon. i even got my mom a bracelet that says mamon, je’taime. actually, je’taime is nice too!
Ashleigh says
Grace Me!
My favorite phrase is actually the french song about the Champs-Elysees. Its catchy and fun and I still remember the words many years after my french classes!

GRACE ME!
Jamie says
Grace Me
My favorite saying is hanging in my daughters room “Belle fille” which is french for beautiful girl.
Elizabeth says
Grace Me!
My favorite Spanish word is “paloma,” it means dove.
Shelby says
While it’s not in another language, I get the biggest kick out of how everyone knows how to sell you stuff, even if you can’t speak their language. I remember wandering over small town China, and, even there, shopkeepers and people on the street will say “first deal of the day” and “hey pretty lady,” followed by my “how much” and their “good deal for you.” It’s wonderful to fill a home with these little objects from far-away lands, and without the extra cost of an interpreter!
Shelby says
Oh! I forgot! Grace Me! :)
Amber says
“GRACE ME” and… my favorite Spanish phrase is yo no se – because I often don’t know!
martha says
GRACE ME !
“Joie de vivre…” is French for “Joy of living…”
Amanda says
GRACE ME!
I took French for about 8 years throughout high school and college. I love the language. My favorite words to say are “les haricots vertes” and “un croque monsieur.” Green beans and grilled cheese…which just so happen to be two of my favorite foods!
lilia says
Papillon. Butterfly in French. I like how it sounds and the idea that it doesnt represent the image of a butterfly in my head. I think of it, as an enigmatic word.
I was even considering naming our baby like that. But my husband thought I was saying Pappy John.
Toni says
Grace Me!
I took Spanish in high school and college. I loved the way most words sounded. I think one of my favorite words was biblioteca = library.
Jenna B says
Grace me!
Pamplemousse is my favorite french word because it is so fun to say, and is just so silly.
jenn says
grace me!
my favorite german word is “genau” (pronounced Ga-Now), and it means “exactly!”
lilia says
I forgot
“Grace me!”
Dom says
Grace me!
Te extraño ( I miss you)
Cher says
Grace Me! I am learning Korean (in an attempt to prepare for a semi-sabbatical I’m going to take in Seoul, Busan, etc, in 18 months) and my favorite words are ?????, which means “hello, how are you?” and also “I am fine, how are you?” depending on the tone used to say it. BTW, ????? is pronounced “ahn-young-ha-say-yo” :)
Eileen says
GRACE ME
My favorite word is “pansa” — it means belly in Spanish. I remember being 12 years old and teaching my youngest brother (who was 2) the different words for body parts, and he would always get really silly when we came to “pansaaaaa” (as he would say it), because he knew he would get tickled right afterwards!
Krista says
Grace me please!
The one phrase that has stuck with me from grade 9 french class is ‘les murs ont des oreilles’, which means ‘the walls have ears.’ pretty pointless i guess…..
Jessica says
GRACE ME!
C’est la vie
Callie Callender says
GRACE ME!!! I really like the word “amore” it’s just beautiful all the way around!
Melissa says
GRACE ME!
I don’t have a specific word, but my husband thinks its hilarious when I try to roll my “r’s”
Kate says
Grace Me!
After several years in French Immersion, I wish I remembered more, however ‘Bonhomme de Neige’ always struck me as such a nice way to say ‘Snowman’:)
Cheers!
Kate
Tina says
Grace me … amigos (love friends in every language)
LJ Tinner says
GRACE ME!
“Le coeur a ses raisons, que la raison ne connaît point.”–The heart has reasons of which reason knows nothing of….
How true is that!
A tie for 2nd place–La climatisation (air conditioning) and Arrondissement (district). These are just fun to say : )
Laura F. says
GRACE ME!
My favorite French word is probably pamplemousse! It means grapefruit. I didn’t remember that word from my years in high school French, but rather learned it when my grapefruit loving husband and I traveled with my best friend and her hubby to Europe a couple summers ago. My husband discovered his love for grapefruit ice cream!
Britt says
Grace me!
I like C’est La Vie, it rolls off the tongue and is a great motto for life’s constant surprises and hiccups!

Grace me!!
Spanish is my native language, but I love languages, I also speak French and I would love to speak Italian. Right now I’m listening to a song called “Un attimo di pace” (a second of peace) love it!
Brittany says
Grace Me!
My favorite French word is poilue – it means hairy. My husband and I were studying several languages to prepare for a trip to Europe when we found out we were expecting (due in July) – and people joke that our baby will be very hairy, as we both have nice thick hair. A little random, but there you have it!
CM says
GRACE ME!
Yo quiero una cerveza, por favor. (I would like a beer please.)
Christy says
GRACE ME
My husband and I say “Moi Je Joue” to eachother in passing Which started when he caught me singing it (by Brigitte Bardot)while cleaning the house and thought it was cute.
Adriana says
GRACE ME!
Kathy B says
GRACE ME!
Cuidado. I just love to warn people to be careful in a way they can’t understand. :) It makes me feel better, but doesn’t feel as nag-y.
