The sunshine this time of year is fickle, here today and gone tomorrow. It's good to have lots of yellow around as a substitute. I'd like you to believe I somehow scored six identical vintage egg cups, but these were a find from Marshall's years and years ago.
Tiny yellow chick with flower cap.
This egg cup is vintage. It's marked Fannie Farmer on the bottom, so maybe it held a chocolate egg at one time.
These are plastic lollipop holders. (Or perhaps, more gramatically, lollipop holders made of plastic. The holders, not the lollipops, are plastic, but I think you knew that.) They were made by E. Rosen in the 1950s.
Another E. Rosen lollipop holder.
And finally: the classroom shot, with the short people up front.
What a cute little bunch :)

Great Easter goodies...and in the classroom shot I was always up front (5 foot 2 and a half!)...I'd be next to the chick with the pipe cleaner hat!

Too cute! I am jealous of your adorable collection!

I think you are totally right about the yellow and bright colors. I even like them today, while we are having a lovely spring day. Great collection.
I like what Laurie said. I'd be between the pink eggs for starters, slowely moving forwards during the years.

I'm enjoying this sunshine you shared on a cloudy day!

Love that group shot. You probably had to snap it fast before they all hopped away! I agree with you about having some yellow around. I just made yellow curtains for the dining room, and the lighting in there is so different now. Even on a cloudy day, it's very bright and cheery!

Such adorable Easter decs! The "Fannie Farmer" egg cup...would that be Fannie Farmer of "The Boston Cooking School" cookbook fame?

I'm still chuckling over the classroom shot with the short people in the front. You crack me up and it is always such a delight to visit here. Love all the vintage Easter things and the pink polka dot eggs too.

Barbara- You forgot the signboard for the classroom shot- it should read "Mrs Barbara's Easter class- 2009"
