On the table: a clear pitcher of lemonade with lemon slices, a stack of paper cups, and a small cash box slightly open with a few coins visible (penny, nickel, dime, quarter) and one crisp dollar bill. To the right, a small tray shows colorful handmade crafts like friendship bracelets and bookmarks, arranged neatly to suggest a second kid business option. Background: smooth gradient from white to very light teal, with a subtle soft shadow under the table for depth. Accent details: a simple checklist page floating behind the stand with three icons—supplies, customers, money—kept minimal and readable.
