We’ve reached the heat of the summer here in Utah which calls for a daily dose of fresh cold lemonade.
I’ve always loved the old fashion, cute little lemonade stands you see in front of homes, which I never pass by, I mean, come on those kiddos are working hard. Whenever I entertain I’ll mix up a refreshing summer drink. Actually I tend to make a pitcher of some kind of drink each morning just to have on hand during the day and for dinner.
As we tend to spend the majority of our time outdoors I really wanted a fun, grown-up type of lemonade stand to serve drinks on. I knew exactly what my idea consisted of . . .
an old fashion beach bike . . .
Complete with a basket for holding flowers or snacks . . .
And an umbrella for a little shade.
Thanks to a dear friend who actually gave me this bike and my wonderful hubby who reconstructed the seat and handlebars to hold the tray, I now have my very own traveling style lemonade stand.
I’ve really had a lot of fun with this . . .
So easy to change out the decor with the drinks I’m serving . . .
When it’s the watermelon kind of day, it calls for red and white checkered . . .
little daisies I quickly cut from the garden and some red and green straws.
You all should give this drink a try.
But on the pink lemonade days . . .
It kind of calls for old fashion roses . . .
And pink accessories.
Yes, it’s ok with me to buy some good lemonade when its this cute.
And lots of times my drink of choice is simply to add fresh fruit to water.
What’s you summer refreshing drink of choice?
As always my friends, thanks for dropping by . . .
Sure would love to have you all over for a nice cold glass of lemonade.
Linking up with my cute friend Jann for SYC
And also with Jennifer for some inspirational sharing time.
Adorable!
Thank you!
To cute Trina! My grands had a lemonade stand last week and earned over 50 bucks for 2 gallons! We had very generous neighbors. Have a lovely week.Jo
Wow, you do have some generous and kind neighbors, good for them. I would love to have you over for a summer luncheon with some lemonade.
What a fun stand! I have been making a similar watermelon lime drink, I can’t get enough of it.

You’ll have to let me know what you think. After you try it, that is.
I love it! All of it.
Thank YOU!!
Good Morning Lovely Lady! I so enjoyed this post, such pretty details and I could nearly taste the Lemonade and feel the Mountain air! Such a delight to meet you and it was wonderful to hear from you too!
Hugs,
Jemma
Oh Jemma, I seriously love your blog. Thanks for paying me a visit here.
I love your blog so much! What a fun lemonade stand. Where did the green cups with daisy’s on them come from? I love this π
So good to hear from you Lenice. The cups came from Home Goods, gotta love that place.
I don’t even have a blender…. Wait a minute, yes we have a very small second hand blender in the cellar haha. Never blended anything in my life. I do however buy this bio pear juice from a special place which is addictive. So nice.
I love your little lemonade stand. Nice friend who gave you that beautiful bike. You and tour bike would blend right in here in Holland.
Greetje
You really do make me laugh, no blender??? But that bio pear juice sounds wonderful. Yes, when I see you photo’s I can see how we would blend right in. Someday . . .
Beautiful shots!
I went to a lavender farm last year and they had lavender infused lemonade, it’s the best lemonade I’ve ever had!
Time to fess up now: what exactly is your relationship to Martha Stewart?? π
Love this, all of the summer happy details. I agree if something looks good in the bootle it goes home with me.
I have been drinking San Pellegrino Melograno E Arancia.. the color is pretty in a champagne flute, and it is not too sweet . I wonder, would it taste better under a lace umbrella? π

Oh my gosh Trina, love, love this! You are so clever to turn your bike into a lemonade stand. The watermelon cooler sounds yummy and I can’t wait to try it. Pinned it and the bike. Thanks for sharing with SYC. I will be featuring you this week.
hugs,
Jann
Oh this is just the most charming idea!All the details are just delightful! I think I’m going to dig out my old bike π
