***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!

Meg says
GRACE ME!
I don’t necessarily have a favorite foreign phrase. I took Spanish in high school and college and can’t think of one. But I do love this french saying “Joie de Vivre” which means joy of life.
Sam says
Grace Me
I love listening to people speak French and Italian and I took four years of French in high school but I think my favorite phrase is simply the exclamation, “Dios mio!” in Spanish. Not sure why but they say it a lot on Dexter. :)
Colette says
Grace Me!
Katie L. says
GRACE ME!
Obviously (due to my blog title), “Col tempo ogni cosa va variando” is an important saying to me – it is archaic Italian, and said by Leonardo da Vinci. It loosely translates to “With time everything changes.” Too true, right?
I also love “drishta dharma sukha viharin” – it is actually tattooed on my wrist – a part of the third noble truth of Buddhism, it loosely translates to “dwelling happily in things as they are.” It’s always important to find the silver lining, there always is one!
Allison R. says
GRACE ME!
I love the spanish saying “¿Qué te pasa, calabaza? Nada, nada, limonada.” Which means “What’s up with you pumpkin? Nothing, nothing lemonade.” Too cute! :)
Brianne says
Grace Me! Studying abroad in Finland i learned how to say “Happy Birthday”: Hyvaa syntymapaivaa! (pronounced Hoo-vah Soo-too-mah-pai-vah) Once you get it, its super fun to say :)

While on my trip to Italy I had to find out that ‘pomodoro’ meant tomatoes so I could order some authentic spaghetti!

Erin says
GRACE ME!
Emily says
GRACE ME!
I love listening to people speaking in french and I think when someone sings in Italian or Latin (especially at Church), it is especially beautiful. My favorite foreign language phrase is “merci,” but I also love the sound of “thank you” in any language! I think it is the perfect saying.
Sara says
GRACE ME!
Spanakopita – it’s my favorite Greek food, translates to “spanich pie”. SO GOOD!
Carter says
GRACE ME!
Le saucisson…French for sausage. I think it’s hilarious how such a nasty sounding (and tasting) English word sounds so beautiful in the language of love:)
Alex says
GRACE ME!
“Volim Te” is croatian for I love you; my husband is croatian and this was the first saying I asked him to teach me! (I also love when he says it to me!)
Mackie says
GRACE ME!
Ut Prosim (That I may serve)
The motto of my alma mater – Virginia Tech

Margaret Clifford says
GRACE ME!
“Laissez les bons temps rouler!”
Amanda says
Grace me! My husband is fluent in Spanish, and the first (and currently only) Spanish word my daughter learned is “agua” which simply means water. I love when she says its. Its so cute.
Jordan Lobban says
Grace me!
I may as well have “Cest la vie” tattooed on me somewhere, i use it so much. It helps me remember to be light-hearted and not dwell on the little things. Such is life!
Marta says
GRACE ME
I can see many of you have chosen words in Spanish, my native language, and it makes proud (I’m a Spanish Grammar teacher… so double proud!!!).
My favorite word ever is LEKKER, a Dutch word which one uses to express pleasure or approval (delicious, tasty, luscious, choice, savoury, palatable, dainty, delectable, mouthwatering, yummy), so I keep on using it every time I can, mixing it with Spanish words.
Haley says
GRACE ME!
I love the two love birds!
montague says
“GRACE ME”
my favorite expression is the italian saying ‘in bocca al lupo”. it literally means ‘in the wolf’s mouth’ and it basically means ‘good luck’ or ‘break a leg’
margie says

Doar Dragoste..it means only love in romanian. I love the way it sounds. it reminds me of dracula…
Eryn Chandler says
Grace Me!
I love ordering gelato in Italian…in Italy. Because I ate it so much during my study abroad program I can do it almost perfectly…at least I think so!

Laura says
Grace me!
I love the way butterfly sounds in Spanish, mariposa, it just makes me smile!
Emily says
GRACE ME!
This sounds silly, but I always liked the word “subjuntivo” in Spanish class. It doesn’t mean anything special (subjunctive), but it was always kind of fun to say!
Tasha says
GRACE ME!
Donde esta la bano? (Where’s the bathroom?) Critical on my trip to Spain.
Amy A. says
GRACE ME! For some reason, I always say “un momento, por favor” for “one moment, please”. This one stuck with me from 10th grade Spanish. :)

Ciao! Or as my friends and I say, CHOW! :-)
Tegan says
GRACE ME
What a funny question, I’ve never thought about that before. I can’t spell any of the words I really like! I’ll settle for “mija” or “mijo”– and I don’t even know if those are spelled correctly. :P
ashley d says
GRACE ME!
Sarah says

“Chingu” – meaning friend in Korean. Such a cute word and one of the first I learned while living and teaching in Seoul, South Korea!
