***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!

An Australian accent is my favorite – and it doesn’t matter what they say; it’s just how they say it.

Mi casa es su casa. A random phrase I remember from high school Spanish!

Micaela says
Grace me!
My family had a girl from Belarus stay with us for a few summers when we were young and there are words that I learned that my sisters and I still say in Belarussian. I like it because it’s a secret code between us. The most used one is probably “penymayu” which means understand. We use it as it’s own sentence, as in “Do you understand?”
celene says
Grace Me!
Donde esta (where is…) it always makes me giggle!

My very favorite word in spanish is Oso Peresoso.
It’s the Spanish word for sloth and literally it means lazy bear. I adore it and it brings to mind exactly what it is. Awesome.
Erin says
Grace me!
I love the Latin phrase ars longa, vita brevis (art is long, life is short)
Carrie says
Grace Me!
I love the Hawaiian phrase “a hui hou” meaning until we meet again. Hearing it in the airport as we return home makes it a little less sad because it sounds so nice.

I love the French word “Jolie” — just rolls off the tongue.
Stephanie H says
Grace me!
Acetabulum, Latin for “little vinegar saucer” and the anatomical term for the socket portion of the ball-and-socket hip joint.
(The Romans would use vinegar daily and would keep it in large wooden saucers or bowls. These bowls would develop cracks, like spider veins. Scientists of the time referred to the bony landmark as a “little vinegar saucer” because of its bowl shape and how the articulation of the three bones of the pelvis looked like cracks.)

While on our honeymoon in Cancun, my husband taught me some key phrases in Spanish. My favorite is, “Mono is en el bano con queso.” Which means “Monkey is in the bathroom with cheese.” It was super useful…

My favourite other language word is “a leanbh” (ah-LAN-iv), more usually written or pronounced “alanna” (ah-LAN-ah).
On my mind at the moment since my grandmother passed away last week and it was something she called me all the time. It’s an Irish term of endearment that means “darling child” or “oh child”.

My husband spent time as an exchange student in Germany when he was in high school, and we just recently returned there together at Christmastime. Hearing him say “Ich liebe dich” is hands down my fav foreign language phrase, which means “I love you” in German.
