Today I'm sharing with Suzanne @http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/ for Vintage Thingie Thursday. Pay her a visit and check out all of the wonderful items people have to share.
As a little girl I was always know as "Annie Roonie". That knickname has stuck with me for 60 years. In the 1930's on the radio my Dad used to listen to Little Annie Rooney. He loved this program and later it became a comic book. When I was born he named me Rebecca Ann, but always called me Annie Roonie.
I didn't copy the whole book, just the first three pages to give you an idea of what its like.I really need to have the pages laminated and have a new binding put on, its becoming a little fragile.
The next photo is one of a sewing chair that my Grandmother Jewell gave me. She made it years ago and I use it each time I sew anything. The inside of the chair holds all the thread and the sides have pockets for other sewing items. The back and sides can also be used for a pin cushion. The chair is about 40 years old, I guess that's vintage.
I've been sewing Easter outfits for my granddaughters, so its getting a workout this week.Hope you have a great Thursday.

That is a sweet story about how you got your "Annie Ronnie" name. You have a real VTT treasure with that sewing chair.
The book is such a wonderful treasure of memories for you. What a special find. Love the sewing chair. I have a couple of them in my collection. However, not my Grandmothers...that makes it so special. Happy VTT...I hope to back for it next week.
Oh, I love how you found a book with your nickname..that is just too cute! I really love your sewing chair, that is so unusual....very cute! Have a great VTT!
I love your sweet book and that little chair is just the sweetest treasure.
I've never seen anything like your sewing chair! It's like a super-dooper pin cushion sewing box all in one!
Your book is cute. I never heard of Annie Rooney. I think laminating and recovering your book would wreck it.
How sweet to find something from you childhood Ms. Annie Rooney!
Cute story about your nickname and finding the book. Love the PS, "Be real careful when you're wishing." Nice that you're getting use out of the chair while sewing for your own granddaughters!
What a fun find for you and your sister!
How sweet to have the little sewing chair from your Grandmother. It's so cute!
Oh my gosh, I love your sewing chair! I've never seen anything like it. How neat. I wonder if you could figure out how it is made and share it as a neat tutorial for your blog?

The book is adorable. I love the little sewing chair your grandma made you so practical and pretty.

Hi Ann!

I have never heard of Annie Rooney before. Neat that you found the book where you got your nickname from. When I was little they used to call me the Little Campbell's Soup girl, because I looked just like her.
Cute chair! Thanks for shareing, Have a great day.
Your little book is a treasure and your sewing chair is too. How wonderful to have something that your grandmother made just for you. You must have happy memories when using it.
