***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! My favorite Portuguese saying (My mother is 50% Portuguese and my maternal grandmother is 100%) is “Eu te amo” – I love you.

GRACE ME!
One word I like is Sumimasen, it’s japanese for sorry! My husband and I went to Japan for our honeymoon. And I was so impressed with all I saw that I was always bumping in everything and everyone! So that was the first japanese word that I had no problem to use naturally, i learned it really quickly! It also remind me of this beautiful trip we did together!

“Je t’aime, un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie, pas du tout” = “I love you, a little, a lot, passionately, like crazy!, not at all”

Grace Me!!
I love saying Grazie
Kara Dame says
Grace Me!
I don’t really have a favorite saying. I took Spanish in high school and wasn’t fond of it. I do think the entire French language is very pretty and I love Australian & Irish accents.
April says
GRACE ME, please!
My favorite of late is “brb” (be right back)—makes me laugh to say it to my husband. He’s very un-internet.
Caitlin says
GRACE ME
I love all Brasilian idioms.
Tiffanie says

Cantonese is full of onomatopoeia, and one of my favorite phrases is “bah-ling buh-lahng,” which roughly translates to “making a racket” — something my mom accused us of regularly while I was growing up!
Katy says
GRACE ME! I love the way Au Revoir sounds. It is one of the many ways to say goodbye in French. It just rolls off the tongue!

GRACE ME! I love to say MOI’. Is that bad? lol
Sonya says
GRACE ME! For some reason, when my sweet little doggie is under my feet and I have to get by, I have a habit of saying “scusi” (excuse me) to him in Italian even though I’m not Italian, nor do I speak the language. But I would love to learn to speak more Italian someday!
Shawna says
GRACE ME…
There are lots of words and phrases in Spanish that I love.
Anne says
GRACE ME – please! What a perfect ‘paper’ gift to my Husband for our 1st anniversary.
I’m pretty new to New Zealand and love listening to Te Reo (Maori language). My favourite phrase (that I can say) is E kore e mimiti te aroha m?u (My love for you will never wane) – just one example of the passion and feeling in the language.
Dede says
GRACE ME!
Diphenhydramine – i guess medicine counts as a language :)

I love the recorded voice on the London Tube who says, “Mind the Gap!”
I also love Australian and English accents.
