the year that was...

Well, 2010 was rather an enormous year for Ginny & Jude Designs. We feel like we've done everything and then little bit more, and after that, some extra as well!

Come with us as we trip over the highlights of the year that was:

We jetted interstate with the traveling circus of beautiful things which is the Finders Keepers...
