***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 husband and I met in High School and sort of had a thing while we spent a summer abroad as a class trip traveling around Germany. We have a big love of all things German, we have a Weimaraner (German hunting dog), are in the process of buying a VW diesel car (amazing gas mileage) and we both plan on brushing up on our German so we can teach our kids a second language when they are young.
However, my favorite saying(s) are “Ich Liebe Dich” I love you auf Deutsch (in German) and Tschus! (their way of saying bye).

GRACE ME!
I speak fluent Spanish, and my favorite Spanish word is rascacielos (skyscrapers). It’s just a really fun word to say (I love how it sounds and how it rolls off the tongue), and saying it over and over again when I was in 6th grade is actually how I learned how to roll my r’s.
Sarah F. says
GRACE ME!
Lo siento. Por favor no llore.
Which is, “I’m sorry. Please don’t cry.” in Spanish. I just find it absolutely hilarious to say to someone.

I love saying ‘Dondoke’ which is a nonsense word in Japanese, and is the equivalent to ‘What the heck’ in English. Because I’m teaching myself the language I love throwing random words in Japanese into my everyday conversations.
