2013 Crumpet Readers Poll - Your Polish Highlights

Hi Goddesses


Today I turn the blog over to you.  I asked what your polish highlight was, and typically, there was no - or very little - consensus.  I started editing the answers, and realised I was killing a little bit of magic, so here, in your own words, are what you loved most this year.

Thank you to everyone who contributed!
