***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!
Burbuja! It means bubble in Spanish and I’ve always loved the way it rolls off my tongue.
Aryn says
GRACE ME!
For some unknown reason, our dog doesn’t respond to the usual “stop” “quiet” commands. But if you shout “SILENCIO” she sits right down and instantly becomes cute again. Apparently she was Spanish in a past life!!
Sarah says
Grace me!
Je t’aime…I love you in French is my favorite saying.
amy says

I have always laughed at my son’s made up swear word “deet”. Ha!
Elizabeth says
Grace Me!
I was told once in my intro French class that a common term of endearment is “Mon petit choux” translated as “My little cabbage”. I’ve always loved it, even if it turns out to be not so very commonly true!
Christina Marie says
GRACE ME!
Mi burro esta un fuego.
My donkey is on fire.
Lara C says
Grace me!
I was a Russian major at UVA, and I was fortunate to get into a few semesters of Serbo-Croatian. The phrase that stuck? “Nema problema!” Meaning, of course, “no problem!”
My lingo-phobe hubby has even picked this one up for himself!
Kate says
GRACE ME! :)
“Que Sera, Sera” (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) When I was little, I remember my mother (and grandmother) singing this song to me. And now that I’m a mama to our sweet little Maggie, I find myself singing it to her as well. I love the heritage that a simple, happy tune weaves thru our familial generations & love the meaning. Have you heard that song of old? ;) It goes… “When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother ‘what will I be?’ – will I be pretty, will I be rich, here’s what she said to me… que sera, sera….whatever will be will be, the future’s not ours to see, que sera-sera…”
liz m says
Grace me!!
‘Hexe’… I think it means ‘witch’ in german. It’s a term of endearment between my mom and me.
Elizabeth Bryant says
Grace me!
The Spanish one would definitely come in handy seeing how we live in San Diego and our little man should learn the language. Love it! And I love your blog!
Jen says
Grace me!
Je t’aime mon amour – I love you my love.
Elizabeth says
I love all your choices and the prints are so cute! Your nursery is sure to be a special place to grow big and strong!
Alissa says
Grace me!
“no comer helado en el perro”
do not eat ice cream on the dog.
Meg Robinson says
Grace Me! Te Amo- I love you! in Spanish….and really anything else in Spanish. I never realized what a beautiful language it was until I started watching spanish films!
Prost to the Host says
Grace me!
Spanish words: burbuja (bubble) and calabacitas (little zucchinis)
Korean words: epuni (not sure on the spelling, but it translates to cute or pretty one).

I love the word for “cheek” in Spanish – mejilla!
Austin says

I love the word for snail mail in Swedish: snigel post
(pronounced sneagle) it just sounds so cute.
Emerald says
GRACE ME!
Abrigate! which means something like “bundle up, it’s cold outside” in spanish.
lana @ make a house a home says
grace me!
home sweet home – but of course!
Kristi W @ Life With the Whitmans says
GRACE ME (please)
German: Da lachen ja die huhner.
Roughly translates into something like “the chickens are going to laugh at you” and it’s said when you are teasing someone. It was my favorite part of high school German class.
Renée says
Je t’aime
Ashley M. [at] (never home)maker says
Won’t you please GRACE ME?
And I’m a fan of “in boca al lupo” which means good luck in Italian. But literally translated it means “in the mouth of the wolf” . . . :)
Andrea says
GRACE ME!…..(pretty please)
Well in my neck of the woods, in Central California, Spanish is almost the primary language…and I love to listen to it spoken fluently (I am not at all fluent). I especially love to hear “te amo”…even if it’s not directed at me.
stephanie says
GRACE ME!
Love Japanese, French, and is anything else yummier than english spoken with an English accent?!
Wendy says
Grace me (please)!
Maureen says
GRACE ME!
My favorite: “Puoi ripetere?” which translates “Can you repeat?” in Italian. It’s got a really fun rhythym when pronounced correctly, but it also reminds me of when I was fumbling my way through Italian while living in Rome!
Areta says
GRACE ME!
grazie
Grace says
GRACE ME!
I speak three languages, Cantonese, Malay and English but my favourite proverb/saying has got to be in Cantonese – “Tai ngan, tow chuck” translated it means, “Big eyes, little stomach.” We say it to little children not to take too much food onto their plates and then throwing it away afterwards.
Lauren says
Grace me!
Por favor ;)
LIndsey W says
Grace Me!
I love the word “Aceituna.” spanish for olive. Its stuck with me all these years.
Vanessa says
GRACE ME!
In high school French class our teacher taught us “mon petits chou-chou” – a term of endearment which translated means my little cabbage. I always thought that was hilarious. My other favorite is “au contraire mon frere!”
Katrina says
GRACE ME!
I love hearing words in Spanish
Marta says
Grace me
NEPD says
“GRACE ME” – I love how the word “gomeria” sounds – it means tire shop in spanish, but i think it would be a great dog name
Amanda says
GRACE ME!
Yalla habibi.
Come on my sweetheart.
Arabic.
Meagan says
grace me!
sara says
GRACE ME
Sarah W. says
GRACE ME!
I like the Italian work “prego” because it can have more than one meaning depending on when you say it (please, you’re welcome, excuse me).
Cara says
GRACE ME!
I’ve always thought the Spanish term “pantalones cortos” was fun to say. :)
I love these prints! My first baby is due July 27th, and even if I don’t win the give-away, I will definitely look into getting some of these prints to spruce up the nursery.
Robin says
Grace me! I love saying “brrrr” as they do in Cuenca, Ecuador (here it is phoentically)- “eye chai chai”
Christy says
GRACE ME!
mon amour – my love
Ana says
Grace me!
When I was being annoying, my mom would say, “Me estas poniendo un gorro.” Literally it means you’re putiing a hat on my head. Not sure exactly why it signals annoyance, but moms are funny like that.
Kristy says
Grace Me! I’m such a huge fan of her designs, which are in my nursery!
Lisa says
GRACE ME!
C’est la vie!
That’s life in French.
