I adored watching your peonies do their color transformation act, and that potato pic has to be my absolute favorite from the Chelsea photos you show here today. I'm trying to grow them this year so we shall see if mine look anything like these.<br /><br />Adore the curve of John Nash's Regent Street. They don't build them like they used to, sigh. <br /><br />Would love a linen press filled with the type of linens you show from the auction preview. I'm wondering what they will sell for.

Loved the peonies (I am doing a post on them too, hope to have it up late week), the auction preview (you are so lucky to have seen this in person, thank you for sharing pictures!), and the thoughts on accents. It is very true, a British (or Australian or French or Italian) accent can go a looooonnnnggg way in the U.S. Oh, the whole thing makes me laugh. I do like some accents from the American south (depends on the state, though) and I do enjoy a Texas drawl. Yee-haw!

The cupboard of linens is a picture.<br />I also adore English/Australian accents, love them. My accent is more American than Canadian though I think all of NA is starting to sound the same. <br />I do have some Newfie expressions though from my time spent there in my 20's, until just last year my neighbour thought I was a Newfoundlander so maybe I have a bit of the accent too. xox!DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-41568500546314236732015-06-01T12:19:30.559+01:002015-06-01T12:19:30.559+01:00mercury retrogrademercury retrogradeCoulda shoulda wouldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507021618497645667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-84586219538551109542015-06-01T12:19:21.573+01:002015-06-01T12:19:21.573+01:00ha - but then again - people here do like the Amer...ha - but then again - people here do like the American accent!

He'll go - wait for this - just before he orders coffee and of course the girls just go - Oh my gosh - I love your accent! It's hysterical.<br /><br />That estate sale was rather fun. The pieces except the Sevres wasn't the best quality in itself but still a lot of fun to look around and very smart how the auction houses recreate rooms rather than just list numbers. Makes a huge difference. Mind you with these auctions, the conversations are so much fun. Well me overhearing them anyways!! Yes I think you might be right.
