Alderberry Hill: Lemonade Stands

Lemonade Stands

Ahhhh....refreshing lemonade.

Freshly Squeezed

Frozen

Fizzy

Raspberry Lemonade

....the list goes on.

Did you know that the average lemon

contains approximately 3 tablespoons of juice?

Remember having a lemonade stand

at the end of your driveway

or on your front lawn when

you were a kid?

I sure do,

but my lemonade stand

didn't look like these...

I am so thirsty now...

I think I'll have a glass of lemonade!

I have been known to link to these fantastic parties:

At July 3, 2012 at 8:59 PM , Liz @ Quirky Vistas said...: The lemonade stands of today aren't like ours back in the day because back then our mom's said "go outside and play!" and so we did, and we scrounged together some of her sugar and few packets of koolaid and went out and sold it. We did it ourselves and hadn't yet learned about style. We could have cared less about style back then. We just wanted to make a few dimes to ride our bikes to the 7-11 for candy. Times have changed. Mom's with class and creativity design lemonade stand havens. These are gorgeous and I hope once they are up and running, mom gets to go in and put her feet up and enjoy browsing blogland.

Thank you for sharing your creativity at Potpourri Friday!

At July 6, 2012 at 10:20 AM , Our Pinteresting Family said...: I think I used a card table..lol. I didn't even decorate it (gasp I know). I also remember charging quite a bit more than the neighbors to earn more money. I clearly was not business savvy at age 8. I love your inspiration photos.

At July 6, 2012 at 12:06 PM , Nicole said...: So Fancy! Wish there were still lemonade stands around - I never see them anymore.
At July 6, 2012 at 12:15 PM , Judith said...: When I was little, I put a box for a stand, the pitcher full of lemondade and the little paper cups in my wagon and headed towards a corner at the end of the block where I set up to sell my lemonade. I did pretty good until my dad came and packed me up and took me home. Finding out later that I was sat up in front of a bar on the parking lot. I did pretty good that day and later went to the five-and-dime store at that time and bought me a pair of keds shoes. That was alot back then for a small kid. Awe, how I miss the days back then. That was the end of my lemonade stand. Thanks for taking me back to the days. Judith, Texas
At July 6, 2012 at 1:43 PM , Meaningful Mama said...: I had lemonade stands as a kid, but they never looked like these. They are absolutely adorable. We don't have a good street for it - bummer. We live on a lake htough and have considered setting them up at the end of the dock. LOL
