After seeing several lemonade stands in our neighborhood, Phoebe got the idea to have a garden sale. She's working on saving money to buy a My Little Pony. Since I, too, was a huge proprietor of lemonade stands as a child, I was all for her get-rich-quick scheme.
First, she cut a variety of flowers. We always grow the
Cut and Come Again variety of Zinnias - they really do! Herbs and lamb's ears were also added to the mix.
Carefully arranging her blossoms.
A sign was made.
Careful attention was paid to the shop display.
Customers!
While we knew everyone who stopped to purchase a little arrangement, they seemed to enjoy the little jars of flowers. Phoebe didn't have any set prices, people just gave her some change. For a socially shy child, this was a big deal. I was so proud to see her talk to customers and figure out something on her own. It looks like we'll be taking a trip to Target soon!
