***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!
I constantly say “estas lista?” instead of “are you ready?” Blame 7 years of Spanish…
ElleX says
“GRACE ME”
Favorite word: Amor
Kristy says
GRACE ME!
My favorite other language phrase after 4 years of high school French is croque monsier- a yummy grilled ham and cheese that you can get just about everywhere in Paris. Wish I was having one now…
Laura says
After 7 years of French, you’d think I’d have a favorite word memorized, but I think my favorite foreign word is my Italian grandmother’s last name “Valladi.” It sounds so designer-ish to me :)
Jennifer says
GRACE ME!
My favorite french word has always been “pamplemousse” (grapefruit) and I love the term of endearment “mon petit lapin”.
Chelsea says
GRACE ME!
I love the way “fiance” rolls off my tounge :) Even though in one month I won’t be able to call him that anymore!!
Amy says
GRACE ME!
“Voulez-vous de beurre?” – my favorite french saying from Kevin Arnold (whom I had a gigantic crush on in middle school) on the sitcom, The Wonder Years
laura says
oops…forgot to say “GRACE ME!”
Courtney H. says
GRACE ME!
Casey says
grace me! i have been saying “que suerte” which means “what luck” since high school. it was in our spanish book and was such a cheesy saying that i couldnt stop saying it!
Lauren says
My husband and I always say “Maintenant” which means “Right now!” in French…. I can’t even remember why but it’s just become a silly inside joke between us. Then we started saying it really silly like with a russian twist and it’s progressed into sounding like, “Macght NOW!”… I’m a teacher and one day I almost screamed it to one of my kids! HA!
Kendra says
“GRACE ME!”
??????
Ganbatte! (“Do your best!” in Japanese)
Lauren says
oh yeah, and Grace me! haha
May says
Grace me :)
For a favourite phrase in another language … hmm, well, we speak French exclusively to our 1 year old daughter Kate and I like to call her “Katie-Chat” (Katie-Cat). I love cats and “Minou” (kitty) was my first word, so cat in any language sounds great to me!
Bonne journée à vous deux, continuez votre beau travail!
Sibyl says
Grace Me!!!!
Je ne se pas, French translation, “I don’t know”. My staple answer to any question my french teacher ever asked me.
Nicki says
GRACE ME
Je t’aime!
Jennifer says
Grace Me!
I love the french word for frog: le grenouille – our french teacher told us that we were master speakers if we could properly pronounce that vowel-bonanza!
erin says
GRACE ME!
my favorite word in spanish is “lechuga.” it means lettuce :)
Sarah says
GRACE ME!
Pryvit. It’s hello in Ukrainian. It’s the first word our [adopted]son said to us. No word was ever sweeter.

Grace Me
Beth G says
GRACE ME! “Ciao Bella!” is my favorite Italian saying – it reminds me of my trip to Italy last year!
Nadia says
Grace me!
It’s a greek word – something sounding like Bebeho – me and my boyfriend use it to call each other baby :)
Jamie says
GRACE ME! :)
My husband and I always say “Ca, c’est la meme chose” (which means “That’s the same thing” en francais) because it’s one of the only French phrases he knows (I took it forever in school). He also adds his other phrase “Je suis panne d’essence,” which means, of course, “I’m out of gasoline.” More useful than knowing how to ask where the library is, I guess. :)
Hannah says
GRACE ME!
I love the spanish word for school – escuala. It’s just fun to say.
Elena says
GRACE ME!

God Yul (pronounced Good Yule) is Merry Christmas in Swedish. :)

“Grace Me” My husband and I use the words Je t’aime instead of saying “I love you.”

I am particularily in love with this giveaway :) It’s right up my creative alley!
P.S. I love how “Merci beaucoup” sounds :)
Alexandra says
Grace me!
After spending time in France, the one word I couldn’t quite work out of my daily verbage was “truc” which is a word for “thing” but in France it seems to have so many more meanings. Oh and I absolutley love “Je ne sais quoi” because I feel like that also epitomizes the french culture!
Katie says
Grace Me! Tough question. Having taken over 4 years of Spanish and traveling the world one would think I could list a few of my favorite words, but I’m coming up with nothing :(
Claudia says
GRACE ME
We always like saying “chinguetes” when we mess up. ha!
Sarah says

Katharine says
GRACE ME! My favorite word is “saudades” which is Portuguese for missing something or someone with deep longing. One of those words that doesn’t have an exact English translation.
leslie says
GRACE ME
Anything from “that’s amore” song!
The Design Slice says
GRACE ME
I have a tendency to shout callate (pronounced kaya tey) whenever my cats are fighting (they growl really loudly). It means shut up in spanish.
I also like damelo (pronounced dah mey low) meaning give it to me.
Hmm, I sound a little bossy, haha!

“GRACE ME”
I grew up in a Spanish/French/Russian household and didn’t learn English until I started school! My absolute favorite word is in Spanish, and it’s ‘trabajaba.’ Hahahah- say it outloud- trah-bah-hah-bah. It is the past-tense of the verb ‘work.’
:)…trabajaba. ha.

corinne purnell says
