Ella Mia Magrum-Stanley is Sweet Leaf Tea’s biggest 5 and a half year old fan! So much so that she made Sweet Leaf Tea Grannyism magnets to sell at the Serene Hills Elementary School Kindergarten Mall. She sold 45 magnets for 25 cents each! Ella came up with the idea as her mommy was making magnets to give to friends as Christmas gifts. Most of her kindergarten classmates were selling silly bands or Pokemon cards but Ella thought the magnets would be a hit. Her favorite Grannyism is “Always wear clean underpants”. She made 15 of those and sold ALL of them to teachers, students and parents. The second best seller seemed to be “Mind your own beeswax”. Ella made $11.25 from her sales and plans to donate half to the animal shelter to “save puppies”. She is saving the other half to buy a pug puppy.
You can find Ella guzzling a bottle of Sweet Leaf Tea lemonade or sneaking her Mommy’s Sweet Leaf Peach Tea. She plans to use Sweet Leaf Tea lemonade in her secret recipe at her stand on Lemonade Day!

Way to go Ella! If you need more caps, you know where to find them. Oh, and keep us updated on the puppy. We’re partial to the pups around here.
I love the Sweet Tea magnets you gave me for Christmas and awesome job making and selling them at school- what a great idea! When are you getting a puppy!?
How stinkin’ cute!!! I love it!
Do you have somewhere to submit new Grannyisms? Whenever my grandmother saw us stick something in our ear to scatch it, she always told us,” never put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow” There’s one I’ve never seen or heard anywhere. Thanks
