***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 call my kids “ma petit chou”–directly translated from french, it means ‘my little cabbage’, but it’s used as a term of endearment, like “sweetie”
Now that my son know what it actually means (thanks, Google translate), he thinks it’s hilarious!

GRACE ME!
This is a great giveaway! My boyfriend is Laotian-American and so whenever I visit his family I always hear them greet each other with the word, “Sabaidi,” which means a combination of hello, welcome, how are you, and nice to see you. Whenever I hear anyone say it, they seem so genuinely happy and always say it right back. It’s just such a happy word and is one of the few words I actually recognize when his family members are speaking Lao.
Kelly says
“Grace me” :)
My fave word is “papocc” because for some reason it is the only Maltese word that I can readily remember!! It means slipper! My partner is Maltese and is always laughing at my terrible Maltese pronounciation attempts!!!

Lauren M. says
GRACE ME!
I was in love with the French culture, and took French in High School. For some reason, the phrase “Allonz-y” still creeps into my vocab now, which means “let’s go!”. Maybe I was a dominating French woman in a former life, ha!
Katherine says
GRACE ME!
I majored in German studies in college, and I studied abroad in Strasbourg, France (right across the river from Germany). Even though it’s probably not correct, we would always say “chouette!” for “cool” as an expression while we were in France.
Kelsey says
GRACE ME!
My favorite french phrase is “mon petit chou chou” which is a tearm of endearment meaning “my little cabbage”.

My favorite foreign language phrase is whatever my husband is saying in french at the moment. He’s Canadian and fluent – whether he’s asking me if I’m ready to go or exclaiming at how cold it is, I LOVE it!
Jacqueline says
GRACE ME!
Je t’aime!
Jaime says

Sandra says
GRACE ME
My favorite German word is for a little matchbox. Probably not spelled right, but as I recall it – Streichholzschachtelchen. I definitely CANNOT pronounce it.

alstublieft – it means please, or if it pleases you, in Flemish. It is super fun to say and all of my friends and I used it as often as possible during our year abroad in Belgium!

I always found the French word for computer to be quite fun — it is “l’ordinateur”. So fun! :)
Sara says
GRACE ME
These prints are so cute.
I like silly phrases in japanese I learned while living there as a youngster. Dobi tashi mashite makes me laugh because I used ‘dont touch my mustache’ to remember ‘you’re welcome.’ :)

Beylah says
GRACE ME!
Well, I love the way just about everything looks in American Sign Language – it’s absolutely beautiful! But for foreign spoken languages my favorite joke with my boyfriend is to ask him to bring me my mel-a-pha-phone when I’m looking for my cell phone. Melafafone means cucumber in Hebrew. :)
Kristin says
GRACE ME
Tu esta linda :) I like learning you are beautiful in any language I start to learn.
chelsea says
Grace me!
I lived in Uruguay and love their sing-songy way of speaking Spanish, especially pronouncing ll’s and y’s like “sh”. I like how they would always say “Che” like “dude.”
