So to finish the year on a high - let's see your favourite new collection pieces.

Mine is definitely this vintage mirror.

I haven't made really any purchases this year, but OMGG, that mirror is so perfect, congrats on that precious find <3

Wow... You're making me think. I really didn't buy that much this year...
Waaaaait, my half and half PE box. LOL.
(The owner gifted me half of the box then a month or so later called me and I purchased the other half that she magically found! So much tape...)

I think that was when I got the Paradise Estate funiture for a great deal. The year before was when I got it on my birthday. Also I got the Mountain boys this year a few of them so Im totally happy about that.

Let's see... it's a several way tie, this year I managed to get 2 Flower Fantasy ponies and 2 Fancy Mermaid ponies for great prices!

Oh, and I finally got the Waterfall playset! I'd been wanting it for so long.

Oh wow, that mirror is really beautiful!
On the pony front, I only bought one from a market stall, and I don't have any photos of her. I really need to get back on the proverbial horse with photographing my ponies, really.

I don't think I really purchased much this year...... but I look forward to seeing what everyone else got.

That mirror is awesome~

I wanted them for such a long time, since i started collecting! And this year I was finally able to get them. Three more to go!

[Koudoawaia]

As far as ponies go, I think that would be the Guardians of Harmony Nightmare Moon I just bought two days ago^^

[Foxtale]

Oh man I love to see what everyone got! I tried not to buy anything this year. ;P

Best purchase I guess was the only G1 purchases, a set of Petitie Ponies I found at a tag sale. I love petites.

I finally won Red Roses, just in time for my birthday She cleaned up beautifully. Just adore her.

As far as other purchases go, stand out ones for me were:
Completing my set of four Show n Glows (but the two new girls haven't even had their spa yet, so no piccies!)
Getting my first four McDonalds pony clips/bookmarks
And my surprise addition that wasn't really on my want list but thrilled me to bits in person was fibreoptic Princess Sparkle    Can't get enough of her, she's so ridiculously wonderful, lol!

Here's my Red Roses:

It occurs to me as I read this thread that I didn't buy myself ponies this year. I got lots in swaps, but that's not really the question.

The best pony purchase I made this year was likely a very minty Dainty Dahlia for $10.

As for favorite ponies that got added to my collection, where do I even start...?

Princess Royal Blue: a gift from Akemi-chan during our birthday swap.

Rosedust: from Ledbyrd during Girly Swap. I think she was my first flutter? I got her and Tropical Breeze pretty close together.

Barnacle and Tuneful: from Aintnobuffalo for the $35 holiday pony swap. Tuneful was my grail for the year and Barnacle is my first big brother. (Note: Those guys are dangerous. Once you've got one you want more. )
