Fab Freebie: Say Grace

***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.

Grace Hester 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.

Grace Hester Languages

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!

    Oddly, my favorites are French for shampoo, “shampooing” and conditioner, “apres-shampooing”. I just find them funny.

    My favorite english/spanish false cognate is the spanish word jubilacion, which doesn’t translate to jubilation, but instead means retirement. Which is actually quite awesome and fitting in and of itself.

    That said, pick me! These prints are lovely.

    In French, I love that “mon petit chou” means “my sweethart”, but literally translates out to “my little cabbage.”

    When I lived in Brazil and was expanding my Portuguese vocabulary, the locals always wanted to teach me/hear me attempt the word for cobblestone: ‘paralelepipedo.’ I didn’t find it difficult to say, but admit it was fun!

    Grace Me! I love the word “Chau” as they say it in Argentina. That place is like a Spanish-speaking, less-expensive but still chic Europe and the language is awesome… I especially love how the “ll” in words makes a “jsha” sound instead of the usual “ya” sound.

    Tengo Hambre! Spanish for “I’m hungry” is a phrase we love to say in our house. Also we like to hack the Italian language and attach the suffix “lino” to any word. Grouchalino and Messylino are names we use when our toddler is doing her thing!

    My favorite word is ??????? – (pronounced Spas-ee-bah) “Thank You” in Russian. Partly because it sounds nothing like thank you. Partly because of a fod travel memory: In an attempt to be a polite traveller I said “???????” to a kind Russian man, to which he replied “Don’t mention it.” Still cracks me up!

    Also, please GRACE ME with one of these beautiful prints. I would love it.

    when my husband and i were in italy, for some reason, the word “due” (two) made us laugh, and we would say it over and over again. “due, due, due.”

    When I was in college, I took Japanese lessons, and one of the things we learned was how to sing the song, “If You’re Happy And You Know It!”. It went something like:

    Shiawase Nara Te o Tatak?
    (she-aw-wah-say na-ra tay oh ta-ta-koh)

    It still echoes in my mind to this day. :)
