Garage sale

June 14th, 2011

We decided to have a garage sale kinda last minute this year because we have a lot of junk to get rid of. Too bad we missed the community garage sale, so we didn’t get too much business. But Ella did a very good job with her first lemonade stand, despite spilling most of her first pitcher a minute after getting set up. She was so excited when she got her first customer she ran in the house to tell me she didn’t spill any of it!

Glitter really added an upscale look to our signage.

She wanted to charge 14 cents a cup but we pointed out that making change with that would be a lot of work. So, a quarter it was. A real steal I think!

Eva, remember this is a business!

Come on people, get your lemonade! (I think all in all she made about $2. Next year, we hope to double our profits.)
