The Lemonade Stand, 1972

Submitted by denny April 2nd, 2010

This was my lemonade stand and the best gift I ever received back in ’72. I was obsessed and felt that when I stepped behind this toy/stand, i was in my own little pretend world. I always did love the fact that the “N” was backwards. It came with a little cash register, play money, dishes and a little table that wasn’t featured in this picture!

    Adorable! And my favorite drink too. I never had anything this fancy. My parents just set up an old bridge table for me…

    That’s fantastic! I can’t help but notice, however, that only two of the three lemonade stand attendants have color-coordinated attire. Is Mr. Yellow Shirt an interloper from the banana stand next door?

    That little guy in the yellow shirt was our assistant and he is now a clothing designer in the UK, owns a victorian home in Cape May and a brownstone in NY. We always tease him about this pic as he is holding the wallet, the interloper has done very well. lol

    I’m all about fantasy and I was pretty much a lonely kid. I grew up around a lot of girls so I guess it was no surprise when I had to be the Mommy and design Barbies houses out of cardboard…..wait, am I digressing here? This Lemonade stand was so much fun!
