No, I mean really,' she persisted.
Well then.' he said, 'if you must know, I'm seventeen.'Seventeen?'That's right.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.” 
“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

A few weeks after Lydia's shoot we received this letter.. My heart stopped and tears began to run down my cheeks as I read the lovely words floating off these pages. Lydia you will never know what that letter and those words meant to Lollie & I. It filled our hearts, and helped us remember why we do what we do. I'm so glad & truly blessed to have spent an afternoon with you in your wonderland.. it's a fantastical place!
