I did a challenge on these on #151. That was 2 years ago and this collection has grown. This is one of my favorite Easter collections and since Easter is right around the corner...it is time for an update.
Voila! The pyramid of Easter Dixie Cups. I love these old wax coated Dixie containers. They are pint sized and probably once held ice cream or another dairy product. These cute little cups were intended to be used as Easter baskets after a person punched holes on the side and added a handle. I am amazed at the variety of designs.
These are all the same graphic, but in a different color scheme.
Another same graphic, different colors.
These more colorful and detailed cups are a newer find. Look at all those kids on the hunt for eggs.
Flip side. These little ducks look thrilled to be swimming with this fellow.
How cute is this "The Bunny Hop" band?
Flip side. Bunnies dancing it up with the band.
Cows eyeballing Easter baskets.
Love this chick belting out a tune.
Another darling full color cup.
A wagon carrying Easter eggs. The wagon is pulled by a team of sturdy horses.
Truly a huge variety of a simple item.
If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ___". Happy day and hope the Easter bunny is good to you this year.
Such wonderful graphics!

Love these and your display is awesome! Another item that I have never seen here on the East Coast...it amazes me that some things just were not around here...I probably have some things that you never see over there! Funny how that works! I would fill each one of them with ice cream and have myself a ball! Have a great Easter!

Such a happy look! Why oh why don't they make things like this anymore?

The bunnies in the band and the little girl with the squirrel are my favorites! I have a few of these containers but can't remember which ones. And since I won't be getting out my Easter decorations this year, I guess I will just have to wait and see. Next year I'm going BIG on all my holiday decorating to make up for having to miss out on a few this year. Sigh.
