***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
I’m not to smart when it comes to learning other languages. not my cup of tea. My husband tho knows three other languages besides English… crazy! but i have always loved when he says something in Portuguese, even if i don’t know what he is saying.
Kristen says
GRACE ME! I like to say “merci” but only because my husband answers with “beaucoup” which makes NO SENSE at all.
Cris says
Grace Me! :)
My favorite saying in another language is “Yo no hablo espanol.” It’s also my only one ….
Maybe I should take up pig latin. I think my husband knows at least that one. lol
paige says

My favorite word has to be something my little brother loved screaming when we were in Italy a few years back – “ARRIVEDERCI!” We would laugh every time :D
Christina says
GRACE ME :-)
faire de l’equitation–one of the few canned phrases I remember from high school French, purely because it’s fun to say.

Grace Me!
I’m not good with other languages, always feel like I am butchering the beautiful words! But I have always admired those that are!
Vanessa says
GRACE ME!
My favorite word in another language is “oeuf,” which means egg in French. I spent a summer in France and every morning my best friend and I would eat our “ooooooooooofs” for breakfast.
Kristin says
GRACE ME! :)
When I was a little girl growing up in Oz, my dad used to tuck me in each night and say “bon nuit my petite enfant”… Since I became an adult I’ve always thought this was a very sweet tradition :)

GRACE ME
I like “domo arigato, Mr. Roboto” because it reminds me of growing up in the 1970s.
Hanna says
Grace Me !…..We have a bit of a multicultural family so Swiss & Japanese words are always mixed through our english sentences…….i’m sure it confuses eavesdroppers!
karen says
GRACE ME!!!
Ciao, bella!
Erin says
Grace me!
My favorite saying in another language is “Fua fua naritai fute kudasai!” It means something similar to “I want to be fluffy, shake me!” in Japanese.
Nina says
Grace Me!
My husband is the only one in his family who doesn’t speak spanish. Ask him to say something in spanish and its always: “el queso es viejo y pordrido”. “The cheese is old and moldy” from the movie Encino Man.
Morgan says
GRACE ME!
My favorite saying is “How much do you love me?”, where then my hubby then stretches out his arms as far as he can and says “this much.”
Elissa says

My favorite saying in another language is “Bonjour!” at work (I’m a nanny and the little girls I work with LOVE saying it, for whatever reason)

Hmm…c’est la vie. i love how it rolls of the tongue, and it’s how I try to think about my life.
Kim says
“GRACE ME” :-)
Something I always loved to say when I was learning French: “mon oeil” – it means “my eye” and it’s what you say when you don’t believe someone. It can also be expressed by taking your finger and “pulling” your skin down from the corner of your eye. That sounds grosser than it is (not gross at all).

My favorite word is ornithorynque. Next time I’m asked during an interview what my favorite animal is, that’s what I will answer.
Stephanie says
GRACE ME!
My favorite word in another language is ¡sávio! It means cool. My best friend and I made it up in 10th grade and still use it for emphasis. Oh and when you’re writing it you have to use the correct punctuation please!

alicia ferguson says
Grace Me!
I’m lucky enough to be trilingual (English, French & Spanish) in a bilingual country (Canada) so asking me to choose a saying would be like asking me to choose a favourite child! (Although hearing I Love You is lovely in any language…Je t’aime & Te amo)
Kathy says
basu wa doko des-ka?
It’s fun to say–and it basically just means “where’s the bus stop?” in Japanese! Grace me!
Cindy says
GRACE ME!
My fave other language phrase is “Cucina cerada los domingos” It was on a plaque above the stove in a girlfriend’s parents home when I was in Junior High school. One of my first exposures to Spanish, it means “the kitchen is closed on Sundays”. I still smile when I think of it!
Doni says
Grace Me!
I think ciao is pretty fun to say. I think I’ll make it my word of the week.

Emily S says
GRACE ME!
I love to sing the ABC’s to my son, first in English, then in French, then my husband sings them in German. Our son especially loved it when he was only a few months old and would be crying; we’d sing the ABC’s and he’d calm down right away.
Melissa D says
Grace me! I’m a big fan of the tried and true “hola!”
Natalie says
GRACE ME
Las Papas Fritas- French Fries…too funny!
