Thank you for the incredible strong start on the lemonade stand fundraiser! I have had so much anxiety leading up to this, and you have all really shown up. I've gotten so many encouraging messages, and had so much fun seeing how much you enjoy the beverages we came up with. 
I've had some great questions, and I know the answers will be useful for more than just the person who originally asked the question, so here's some FAQs from the first day
How long will the lemonade stand run?
It's scheduled to go through August, so for those of you waiting for a paycheck to clear, don't panic! You've got lots of time.
I thought there will be bake sale items?
Yes, bake sale items will show up eventually, but since the sale is going on for over a month, I'm holding a few things in reserve to release over time so that it doesn't go completely stale. This includes but is not limited to bake sale items.
Will the returning bake sale items include phoenixes?
Yes!
Where are the celestial mugs?
I heard from people yesterday that they were getting more sakura and less celestial mugs than they would expect from stirring cappuccinos, especially midday on Saturday. I took a look at the numbers and they were definitely odd for what you'd expect from an average around that time, then normalized again toward the evening. Sometimes random dice rolls end up on a specific hot streak for a bit and that's also just part of statistics, but the last thing I want is for anyone to feel frustrated or that anything about the fundraiser was unfair. So I went and tried to figure out the accounts that had the strongest statistical flukiness with them and quietly chucked some extra spoons into their inventories so they can have a couple of additional stirs on me.
Here's hoping your luck is less sakura-y this time round!
Will iced coffees be there for the duration of the sale?Yes! Everything that is up now will remain up through August.
why is the iced coffee so pretty when I need to USE ITTT
Ahh, to have cake and eat it too! The age old struggle. I'm glad to hear the fundraiser temptations are tempting enough to create this feeling, though
What's the best way to let you know what our sticker preferences are for backer rewards?
There will be a form you can fill out to rate each of the stickers on a 1-10 scale, and I'll do my best to give you the stickers you rated the highest. That form is not yet available, though.
You may have noticed that 5 of the stickers are still ~~mysteries~~. It wouldn't make much sense to ask people to rate blurs with question marks over them.
The mystery stickers will be revealed over the course of the sale as certain, er, things happen.
Once all of the stickers are revealed, you can start rating them. 
do you think phoenixes will become in-map pets 👀You know I'm not going to make any promises about that, but it has absolutely crossed my mind. If any of them do it will start with walruses since they are the most commonly available!
What artists did the bake sale items?
All of the currently available lemonade stand items were designed by Auberon! Auberon and I spent a lot of time brainstorming and fussing over each item to try and get them as delicious and adorable as possible and I'm SO happy they've met with such a warm reception.

I'll be..... Camping on looking at the stuff until new stuff gets in too 😋
I'm running a dice roll raffle (Kim-approved) for Lemonade Stand items if anyone wants involved, check out the Small Talk forums post!
Until the very end of August, yeah
Hi Kim! I was wondering for clarification--
Does this mean until the last day of August, or is the date more flexible? I just wanted to make sure, since the wording confused me!
