My sister and her family arrived from Memphis for a long weekend visit. We were so excited to see everyone! I set up this 'lemonade cart' so that everyone would feel free to help themselves to a drink! Lemonade is the perfect drink for little kids and adults on these hot summer days!
~
The vintage black cart was a recent purchase from an antique store in Lafayette, Georgia. The store was going out of business, so I snagged it while visiting my aunt and uncle! Of course, Mason jars are a must for ice cold lemonade! The little napkins came from Target and were available in yellow and pink. The beverage container is from Wisteria. I purchased it at the end of last season, while they were having a sale. The French 'Sirop De Citron' label was found at the Graphics Fairy. I printed it and added 'Lemonade Cart' and 'Please Enjoy!' Here is a better view of this terrific label:
Welcome those of you from

Hi Christie...
Ohhh my...if this isn't the prettiest lemonade stand/set-up that I've ever seen! I love it! The little black cart is just perfect for holding that awesome beverage jar and the canning jars! Love that pretty black and white cloth that you used inside the cart too! It's all sooo pretty and sooo inviting! I would love a jar full of that refreshing lemonade! I'm going to keep my eyes out for a similar cart...love, love, LOVE this idea! Thank you so much for sharing your treats with us today!
Warmest wishes,

Your lemonade cart is too cute. What a great way for guests to be refreshed. I love it. Your photos are so crisp and clear. You must have a SLR like I want someday.

If you put that out for me while I was visiting, I would be wheeling that cute little wagon all over to enjoy the beauty of it no matter where I sat while visitng! Very well thought out!

Your darling lemonade stand could wheel right over to my house! I just love it! So very creative and what a welcome for your guests from Memphis. And they will certainly appreciate the lemmony libation, it is soooo hot in Memphis, I have heard.

This is adorable! I found this blog looking for ideas for our country western themed murder mystery party. We wanted to plan a cheap and easy party that could be replicated easily. I love the idea of setting up a lemonade stand with a wagon. It is adorable and so thematic. It brings you right to the wild west!
