Based on googling I think this could be "Sugarplum" by Johanna Johnston (orig. pub. 1955), because the only review on Amazon mentions a vacuum:
This is the only book I truly remember from my childhood. It is very difficult to find, so I recommend that you purchase whatever condition you can locate. It has charming illustrations in it, as well as a wildly imaginative plot line. The vacuum and the penny illustration was one I remembered very vividly. So often in life, upturned noses and superficial conceits can be so destructive to another's self image. This little doll's tale exemplifies the special worth of each and every person, even if she is a small doll!
If anyone else has read "Sugarplum" and remembers it, pipe up. I will move this to the Probably Solved folder and keep looking for updates, thanks.
