Good-bye 2009, hello 2010! This is our final wrap-up post and it’s a few of my favourite stories and articles from the past year, starting with this gorgeous photo from Ann Wood’s very creative world of enchanting animals.

Some of my other favourite posts are our tour of Gabriella’s in New York, our coverage of the 30-Day Bride, the gorgeous pipe cleaner girls we found on Etsy and our discovery of marshmallows, an unexpected sweet we’re particularly fond of and hint, hint, it’s part of our trends for 2010!
