Dear Lillie

As all of us at Dear Lillie are avid readers and love literature we like to incorporate some of our favorite lines and quotes onto our screenprinted designs. This vintage style tshirt has silhouette we drew and printed on the shirt in black ink and underneath it is this quote (although you can't see all of it) from L.M. Montgomery, "There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life. On that day the gates of Eden are shut behind them and the age of gold is over. Henceforth they must dwell in the common light of common day. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland."

This shirt was hand screen printed in a black and gray ink on a cute white long sleeve thermal shirt and has a pewter ribbon attached (the ribbon is a bit shorter than it appears in the pictures).

All Dear Lillie items come with a beautiful hang tag and are wrapped in tissue closed together with a Dear Lillie sticker. It makes a lovely gift!
