My niece and I went shopping at one of my favorite antique malls this week. And surprise, surprise, I bought a chair.
This chair is a child's size version of a wooden folding chair.
I also found this beautiful book - Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue At Camp Rest-A-While. It is such a pretty green color and, since Easter is coming up, I thought the title was timely. Not sure why they need to rest awhile (hope no one is ill), but if I actually read it, I will let you know. I guess some people actually read books instead of buying them for the covers?
On the inside, there is an inscription stating it was given to Evelyn on December 25, 1925. So I guess Evelyn would probably be close to 90 now. I hope she's one of those spry octogenarians who is out there sky diving and traveling the globe.
The author, Laura Lee Hope, was also the author of the Bobbsey Twin series and the Outdoor Girl series of books. Wonder if they had pretty covers too?
The bird has no function in this photo other than to look charming. I thought it was a little plain with just the book and chair, so I threw her in at the last minute.
If the chair looks familiar it is because you have seen its older brother I bought at a barn sale a few weeks ago.
And its older sister, in my Yogi Bear Would Be Jealous post.
I now have 9 wooden folding chairs that I have never sat in.
Yes, my name is Pam and I am loving buying chairs.

The chair is lovely. All of them are. But I am crazy about the book. I often buy books because of the covers. I have a 2nd generation Kindle and it doesn't show the covers. Drives me crazy. Now I read books with my XOOM tablet. All the covers show up in living color making me giddy with excitement. Take care. enjoy your purchases.

You can never have too many chairs! I have a little green folding "camp" chair like yours, great for displays. Thanks for stopping by, Laura

Yes Pam, you do need another chair! I'm happy to hear that it came home with you to be with the others. Love folding chairs, they don't take up too much room. What a sweet book.

Love the little one..I don't have one. They are great chairs to fold up and use out or in for gatherings.

So you have a thing for chairs Pam. As long as you don't start getting your husband jealous, it's all good. You find some good ones for sure!

I would have bought the chair too. Also love the book--our last name is Brown so I like the title. My first full sized daffodil bloomed today--how are yours doing now?

Hi, Pam, nice to meet you! Your blog is delightful, and I'm a new follower! I have 2 little chairs like this that are stained; they came frommy husband's childhood church's Sunday School. Love your Bunny Brown book, too (I think I had the one about the Sugar Camp ~ they are so cute) ~ there is also a cute series about HoneyBunch (a little girl), too ~ ♥♥
Best,
Anne

I have two of those chairs in my basement and I've been thinking of bringing them up and painting them yellow and using them in the kitchen. I love the child size chair. Need to find one of those for myself!
