It's A Small {Crafting} World

I have a photo to share with you today ... and although it doesn't look very 'crafty', it does have a connection to crafting and a connection to Pink Petticoat.
The girl on the right in the photo above is Eileen Beaumont. Some of you will already know Eileen through her cards. Eileen's blog is at http://myartisticdesigns.blogspot.com/  She makes lovely cards : )

The photo is of a family Christening. Eileen is standing with her sister, her mum, Florrie and her dad. And the little bundle of frilly white lace that Eileen's mum is holding in the photograph above ... is me. The photo was taken at my Christening.

And the family connection? Eileen's mum, Florrie and my grandmother, Lizzie, were sisters : )

It was a chance conversation recently that made me wonder if the Eileen Beaumont I knew was one of my customers, was also the Eileen I used to know as 'Aunty' Eileen when I was a little girl, way back in my growing-up days in Halifax. Well, not tooooo way back.

One fabulous 'phone call later, not only did it turn out that it was, but Eileen also shared the most wonderful family photos with me. And agreed to let me share this one with you : ) Wasn't that lovely of her? Thank you SO much Eileen. (((BIG hugs)))

Eileen is now my new crafting friend : )

Isn't it, just sometimes, a very small {crafting} world?
