Catkins


Just been driving through the countryside.
Am pleased to report the sighting of Catkins.
I love everything about catkins:
The way they dangle in the breeze, their colour,
their sense of timing, but mostly, their name.

A couple of years ago I thrifted some pretty
vintage Pyrex plates which I used to celebrate my
love of the aforementioned. I have been scouring the
local junk shops for more since then, but to no avail.

If you see any on your travels, will you let me know?

  2. Catkins, now there's a lovely word from my childhood in England. What a pretty, spring-like plate.
