Lemonade stand

We joined in on our friend's yard sale a few weeks ago, where the biggest draw turned out to be a lemonade stand for 25 cents. Gwenchik got quite good at being both persistent and cute to drum up business. Her marketing techniques were so great, that the girls managed to sell $3 plus worth of lemonade in about 2 hours with not much foot traffic.

Gwenchik was a bit disappointed as she was planning how to spend her millions on her way to yard sale and $3 is nowhere near a million, even she understands.
So we are now having our own yard sale tomorrow, mainly so she she can set up her stand. And she thinks that she can do better than $3, now that she knows how :)

Buying

We stopped by at a street yard sale and Gwenchik really wanted to get several things. Finally we agreed on two:glass bead bracelet and a woven wallet.We get home and she is showcasing her new stuff.
Gwen: Look what I got! And it is mine now.
Grandparents: How did you get it?
Gwen: I bought these
Grandparents: ?
Gwen: I smiled, and smiled and then mom gave them money.
