So many new faces so I’d like to introduce myself!
My name is Laura, I started my business when I was 18 years old and I haven’t stopped since.
Never Forgotten Fantasy, first and foremost is for the dreamers and for those that don’t believe you have to give up on magic as you get older. As someone that feels like I’m still waiting to find home, realizing it might be in another world completely, I wanted to create a place for others who felt the same way. Because maybe, I can create what it feels like to finally find that home; Otherworldly or not. It represents our inner child that continues dancing and finding joy in all that is free, exciting and wild. The feeling of staring up at the stars in the middle of the night. Or running through the woods, not caring about the branches in your hair or the dirt on your feet. So here’s to the strange…the weirdos, underdogs and misfits, the dreamers of impossible dreams. Here’s to us, and may you embrace your strangeness every day.

I want to thank the most talented and beautiful soul @lifethroughlyricslens for capturing this moment. If anyone is looking for a photographer, I will scream his name from the rooftops. He is an absolute joy to be around, and his talent knows no bounds!
This absolutely stunning and show stopping crown was created by Nate at @roxyrosecreations. Nate is what sunshine and what glitter on the wind looks like. Let’s make them both famous. PS this is Nate’s favorite crown to make and he said he wants to make at least 10 every five days. Let’s make that wish come true. by @neverforgottenfantasy

Last weekend at the northern Faire was so much fun! Anytime I get to hang out with @shibacerberus and @gabesoto_jesus, it’s going to be a good day! Driving to the Faire to work with Rachael is the same feeling as realizing Christmas is around the corner. We have way too much fun and it feels like the cheat code to life to be so happy. Thank you Rachael for hunting me down for three years, now I’m never letting you go! Lol by @neverforgottenfantasy

The Unforgettable Girl is by far, the piece created the closest to my heart and from the most raw and vulnerable moment in my life. Fun fact, all my big sun catchers are created as a way for me to express something after an experience, and a way to let it go or to give it life. Hence how most of them will have a little blurb at the bottom. It’s my little riddle, but also a little memory. by @neverforgottenfantasy

I love this career, and I love that I get to create every day. But the best part of it all… getting to hang out with @shibacerberus in the booth almost every weekend and be the most obnoxious and perfect versions of yourselves.

What one of my days looked like in Washington, while working at the Midummer Renaissance Faire.
Some days would requireme to drop off product at the booth, then start off with my morning run. Check out some downtown shops or the farmers market and then put on a favorite movie while making product. Jennifer‘s Body is still iconic.

Have you ever met a soul that feels like sunshine, brings joy to every moment, who you can share anything with and laugh to your heart’s content? That’s what it was like when I met @inlyricslens.
I have to wait every year to see him at the Oregon and the Washington Renaissance Faire, but it’s like no time has passed at all when we get to hang out. It is because of him that my page was able to level up with his talented photography. He has the biggest heart and can capture glimpses like this, where you didn’t even know he was watching. He brought me back to a moment where I remember the pure joy I felt in a two second scenario, that I thought no one saw.
Lyric is someone who can find beauty and magic in even the smallest wrinkles in time. Something mundane can become glorious, and a scene that most people would miss he makes immortal. Maybe it’s his Aries energy, but his fiery spirit is translated, not only in his sassy comebacks, but in his fire and ambition in his career and his art.
I am very blessed and lucky that in all the people in the world I got to cross paths and become friends with this beautiful soul. Thank you Lyric for being one of the most genuine human beings I can call my friend. Your talent is unmatched and I can’t wait to see what wonderful adventures you go on. If anyone is looking for a photographer that genuinely cares for the person they are catching moments of, I will sing his name from the rooftops. by @neverforgottenfantasy

To be completely fair, the more I’ve hung out with @roxyrosecreations the more I realize we are very similar. She just has more tact and I can’t hold back my facial expressions.
