***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!

nicole marie says
GRACE ME!
I lived in Mexico for a while and one of the best phrases that I picked up was, ‘no te precupes’ which roughly translates to don’t worry about it. It had just enough sarcasm to get be by!
MaryMargaret says
GRACE ME!
Christina says

Favorite French phrase is “mon petit chou” – my little cabbage.
Kim C says
Grace me!
Lauren says
GRACE ME!
“Genau” [Geh-now] in German means “exactly”. I had a wonderful African professor who taught me German at one point and she always said “genau”. Whenever I tutor someone in German, I say “genau” when they are correct, since I think it’s a very friendly and nice sounding word.
Mret says

Ecochic says

A word in another language I really like is: Segoi (Japanese for awesome)
Kerry says
GRACE ME! My maiden name is Grace, so I like this comment already. :) I was a student of French, but my favorite foreign word ever has got to be the Spanish word “sacapuntas” – it means pencil sharpener.
Kristin says
GRACE ME!! It’s not another language per say, but ever since our honeymoon in Jamaica the phrase “Yea Mon” makes me smile! My husband quickly picked up the Jamaican “twang” while we were there and he busts it out every now and then which cracks me up!
Rebekah says
GRACE ME!
I love the French word for grapefruit.
Wait for it… wait for it… it’s pamplemousse! Pronounced pom-pli-moose. It cracks me up! :)
Sarah says
Grace me! And I love “ti amo”, or “I love you” in Italian…sigh :)
Winnie says
Grace me! My favorite Chinese word is “shi”, which means happiness.
Kate M says
Grace me!
One of my favorite German phrases is “Es ist mir Wurst.” It literally translates as “it’s sausage to me”, but it’s connotation is “I don’t care” or as my German professor said “I could give a flying sausage!”.
Lauren (in PA) says
Grace me!
Merde or Pogue Ma Hone (sh*t or Kiss my a$$)
Sara says
Grace me! My favorite saying in Italian is “La vita e bella”, not because of how it sounds, but because of what it means. :-)
Jennifer says
Grace me! I went to school in Wales for a semester in college and one of my friends always said “I can’t be bothered” in her English accent (she was English, not Welsh). I picked it up and still say it 13 years later. It’s such the English version of Scarlett O’Hara.

Grace Me!
I took french in high school and, of course, remember very little of it now. One phrase that randomly pops into my mind every one in awhile is “brosse les dents.” I’m not even sure that’s spelled correctly but it means brush the teeth. Strange, huh?

3 years of high school French didn’t do me much good. I don’t remember much of it, except one line of a song we had to memorize. The translation meant “my little cabbage head” and that made me giggle like crazy.
