Celebrating 1,000 posts is fun! Since we now have such a catalogue, I am sure there are some even our most loyal readers will have missed. Let’s take a look back at some of the Hofdame favorites. Don’t worry, every Baguette will have a change to join in.

Baguettes are the heart and soul of this community. We love when you chime in. Some of the (many) worthy posts to revisit:

- The proclamation of Juan Carlos was historic, and beautifully described by Iselen.
- Chaumet jewels. Need I say more? Thanks, Royalwarren(t)!
- Triple AAA is the source for all things jewels and Maxima!
- Geogirl chatted to us about Queen Elizabeth’s ever-present handbags.
- If you’re hungry, you might want to revisit Ween’s recipe for King Harald’s lomper.
- Our witty Jane Maple channeled her inner Camilla to great effect!
There are so many more, so if you want to read through all the guest posts, head here. To everyone who has contributed, a hearty thank you. And to those of you who read here daily, thank you. We have an extremely loyal group and we appreciate everyone.
Hofdame Favorites
Suds loves the entire ROYGBIV series, her first favorite being R for red. It was a fun collaboration of members.
LiL can’t get enough of the Designer Diaries series! So maybe it’s a “tooting my own horn” situation here, but Hartnell kicked us off, and it was a blast to do. All of you liked it so much that what was supposed to be a “one off” kicked started an entire series. A series that is still going strong, I might add!
LG is also going to toot her own horn a bit…my two fave posts so far have been Defense (or not) of the Baden and the Hofdame Hall of Fame for Vickan’s evening looks. But my favorite thing over the last 1,000 posts has been the way this site has grown, making new friends and bringing in some old ones.
OC’s fave (so far) has been the Corps Diplomatique Dinner as this was the first time that The Handbag had on the ground coverage, our own correspondent in the field, Gert-Jan who supplied us with amazing photographs and fan fave Triple-A passing on all his knowledge about the event and participants.
