***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 don’t know if it’s my favorite phrase or anything, but it always makes me laugh when I say it: “Froeliche Weinachten.” It means Merry Christmas in German. Although…there’s a lot of stuff that sounds funny in German (I studied it for 8 years).

Hannajoy says
GRACE ME!!
my favorite phrase is “Danks voor de muutz” which means “thanks for the hat” in Dutch. My mom is dutch and she said that when she immigrated with her family as a kid people would say to them “thanks very much” and they would always wonder why these crazy Canadians were always thanking them for head-gear. Now instead of saying “thanks very much” to people, I always say “Danks voor de muutz”!
Heather says
Grace Me!
My favorite word is “Blumenkohl” which is cauliflower in German

Rosemary says
GRACE ME!!! My grandmother is Croatian so there are a lot of words that she taught us while growing up. My favorite is the word for teeth which is zubi. So we always say that we are brushing our zubis! It’s fun and even a lot of our friends say it now.

GRACE ME… The first year my husband and I dated, we backpacked in Europe for two months. We still use phrases from the different languages we visited. Sometimes he’ll say “danke!” instead of “thank you!” and I’ll respond with “bitte!” It’s dorky, I know, but it always reminds me how much fun we’ve had together … and how much I love him. : )
