How you can help fight Childhood Cancer #OneCupAtATime during National Lemonade Stand days June 6-8 2014

Disclosure: I received a sample kit of materials for this post. The comments and views are my own.  Ten years ago, Alexandra "Alex" Scott held a lemonade stand to raise money to find a cure for cancer, cancer that she had. Her life here on earth only lasted from January 18, 1996 to August 1, 2004.  Since that first lemonade stand-Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation emerged and is now a national movement with thousands of supporters like you and I across the country. You can help bring awareness to Alex's Lemonade Stand this June 6-8,  2014 by holding your own Lemonade stand and/or donating to a stand event.  It's the 10th anniversary this year!  Order you Kit Now! Go to   AlexsLemonade.org Natio nal Lemonade Days kits will be shipped to stand hosts in early May so sign up now .  You can hold a Lemonade Stand any time of year, but the National stand days are June 6-8, so sign up now so you can get a kit sent to you and start inviting your community to support your Ale

Most of the items in here are glass ware from Ireland, dishes from Germany, and serving pieces made in USA: I have 8 of these chairs that my Grandfather refinished and re-caned the seats.  The blue chairs next to the dish cupboard were old family chairs tha
