***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!
Oddly, my favorites are French for shampoo, “shampooing” and conditioner, “apres-shampooing”. I just find them funny.
Jen says
GRACE ME!
Ciao – just love the way it sounds
Misty Boteler says
GRACE ME!
Si!
Traci says
Grace Me!
Caroline says
GRACE ME!
I’m fluent in French and my favorite phrase is in Dutch “eet smakelijk” “let’s eat”
Rebecca says
My favorite english/spanish false cognate is the spanish word jubilacion, which doesn’t translate to jubilation, but instead means retirement. Which is actually quite awesome and fitting in and of itself.
That said, pick me! These prints are lovely.
Lauren says
GRACE ME!
My favorite word is the the Spanish word for “shoe.” Zapato. It’s just fun to say!
Susie says
Grace me!
I’m probably spelling it wrong, but C’est lavie (such is life).

Gesundheit! My father and his parents always said it. Now I do too.
Christina says
Grace me!
I love the way anything in Italian sounds.
Michelle G says
GRACE ME!
In French, I love that “mon petit chou” means “my sweethart”, but literally translates out to “my little cabbage.”
MrsEAM says
GRACE ME!
I’m boring – no fun other language quotes. Although I do work with people all over the world and its so fun to hear the different expressions in the UK or Australia.
Nichole Sweeney says
GRACE ME!
Tusa is tusa amahain go deo — the inscription on my and my husband’s wedding bands. It means, “You and you alone forever,” in gaelic.
Kimberly says

How about: “voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?” It’s a catchy song, what can I say??
dar says
GRACE ME! CIAO
Jill says
GRACE ME!
For whatever reason my older brother always referred to our pick up as the “deeda”. The name has stuck so all pickup’s in our family are a deeda.

GRACE ME!
DKA says
GRACE ME!
When I lived in Brazil and was expanding my Portuguese vocabulary, the locals always wanted to teach me/hear me attempt the word for cobblestone: ‘paralelepipedo.’ I didn’t find it difficult to say, but admit it was fun!
Sabrina says
GRACE ME
These are so fun! I can’t think of anything fun but I’ll second hearing your peanut call you mama, so sweet!
Jennifer I. Walker says
would love for you to GRACE ME with these! bright, graphic — perfect for a little person’s room!
Karen says
Grace Me. Love this give away!
Amanda says
Grace Me! I love the word “Chau” as they say it in Argentina. That place is like a Spanish-speaking, less-expensive but still chic Europe and the language is awesome… I especially love how the “ll” in words makes a “jsha” sound instead of the usual “ya” sound.
Jennifer says
GRACE ME!
and one of my faves…SALUD!
dee says
“Grace Me”
Bon Appetit in a Julia Childs way
Gina P. says

Mahal kita
*I love you
Chelsea S says

Kari says
GRACE ME!!
I lived in Spain for a year and when it gets busy at work I like to remind myself to chill out with the phrase…’tranquilo’ :)
Sarah says
GRACE ME
Tengo Hambre! Spanish for “I’m hungry” is a phrase we love to say in our house. Also we like to hack the Italian language and attach the suffix “lino” to any word. Grouchalino and Messylino are names we use when our toddler is doing her thing!
Kelsey says
GRACE ME!
Jessica says
GRACE ME!
Ya tibia lublu. It means “I love you” in Russian, but spelled differently because they use a different alphabet!
Elena says
GRACE ME!
ciao bella!!
pepacooks says
GRACE ME…
…one to Spain. We have a dog, a house and a blog. What else?
kristy says
“Grace me” I love saying Je t’adore in my worst possible french accent that a southern girl can do :P
Sarah S. says
My favorite word is ??????? – (pronounced Spas-ee-bah) “Thank You” in Russian. Partly because it sounds nothing like thank you. Partly because of a fod travel memory: In an attempt to be a polite traveller I said “???????” to a kind Russian man, to which he replied “Don’t mention it.” Still cracks me up!
Also, please GRACE ME with one of these beautiful prints. I would love it.
Sean R says
GRACE ME
kelsi says
GRACE ME :)
i use “j’adore”, “bella”, and “ciao”. i love the way it sounds!! and “soleil” is the middle name i’m using if i ever have a little girl (i prefer to say “when, verses “if” on that one!)!!
kelly says
GRACE ME!
when my husband and i were in italy, for some reason, the word “due” (two) made us laugh, and we would say it over and over again. “due, due, due.”
Spamboy says
GRACE ME!
When I was in college, I took Japanese lessons, and one of the things we learned was how to sing the song, “If You’re Happy And You Know It!”. It went something like:
Shiawase Nara Te o Tatak?
(she-aw-wah-say na-ra tay oh ta-ta-koh)
It still echoes in my mind to this day. :)
Amanda Sevall says
GRACE ME!
Kathryn says
Grace Me!
My favorite phrase is one that one of my girlfriends coined in high school “Ne touchez pas ma pamplemousse!” I believe she was talking to a boy.
maegan c says
GRACE ME!

Amy Holland says
GRACE ME!!!
I am 7 months pregnant and two months ago my husband had a business trip to Beijing China. And with a nearly 4 year old that watches NickJr (Ni Hao Kai-Lan) my favorite saying right now is “Ni Hao” – “Hello” in Madarine
