I am still in the Easter spirit with my collection challenge posts. This one was not suggested by anyone, but I love this little collection and am sharing it here.
Most of these nodders are candy containers, so they open up and can store some treats inside. I have some that don't have this nifty feature, but still have the little spring neck, so they have that nodding head.
Like this cute little wooden duck and cart.
This little fellow is flocked and is a candy container.
This darling, darling pair of ducks was a gift from Elizabeth from Creative Breathing. These two hold a special spot in my heart and in my nodder collection.
Another candy container.
A pair of nodders. The one on the left was found like that. The one on the right (a similar style) was gussied up with a little Magpie Ethel love.
You may remember she was part of a trio that arrived in my studio. The trio were a bit forlorn and definitely had not had an easy life. Her two friends have gone to good homes.
This is a pair of new nodders. They still have that vintage look and fit perfectly with the other nodder friends.
I love the attention to detail with these nodders. Even the inside of the containers have a charming floral graphic.
A cute little bunny container with sweet little fabric button details.
My little collection lives on my dining room table during the Easter season.
If you have an idea for a future collection challenge post, please leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show my your collection of ___". I will be happy to see what I can come up with.
Happy Day.
Sigh.....
More eye candy to look at :-D

I have never heard of nodders. Were they marketed or homemade? Just darling. Did they make them for all holidays? Thank you so much for sharing such great treasures and giving more vintage fun ideas. Smiles...Renee Do you collect books?

I don't think there's anything more smile-inducing than a good nodder.

I've learned a lot from seeing your collections here -- I notice things now I might have overlooked in the past. If things work the way they usually do after reading one of your collection posts, I predict many nodders will cross my path in the weeks to come. :-)

Hi Laurie,
What a great collection of vintage
Easter nodders!! I love them all,
and especially the first one with
the little cart. Where oh where
did you find the new nodders? They
look so vintage. Are they a reproduction? The make-over that
you did on the the trio is fantastic. They look so happy now.
Thank you for showing us this great collection. : )
Hugs,
Janis
