The girls like to take advantage of the location of Grammie's house to sell things to the tourists. Since the island is small a lot of people come on for the day and walk the island. Stopping at the cafe, museum, and gift shop. My mom's house is located about 1/4 of a mile up the road from the town dock. Everyone has to pass it to get to anyone the other stops. The first day they sold their beach treasures and some fresh picked flowers.
The second day Alexa made some of her lemonade and sold that. That was a huge success. They sold out of two batches of it. Something about the hot, sunny day combined with the uphill walk from the town dock, and the cold lemonade being sold under the shady maple trees offered just the right marketing combination.
On the final day of their sale the girls had home made dog biscuits. They also sold some fresh pciked lettuce from Grammie's garden.
The three day sale total was $30.20. To say the least, they were thrilled. They have each been saving up for items they want. Since each of them made more than the would have in about a month of allowance, it gave them a huge boost.
