Win A Singer Sewing Machine!

This is a super competition with a real vintage element that I am sure you will all appreciate. Do you have any family photos of couples married in the 1930s-1950s period?  If so, you could be in with a chance of winning a Singer sewing machine among other fantastic prizes in this competition hosted by author Kate Thompson, over at her Facebook page here.  A little while ago I reviewed her book, 'Secrets of the Singer Girls', set in a sewing factory in London's East End during WWII.  Kate is currently researching a follow-up book in the same era, and wants to see as many vintage wedding photos as possible!

Kate says "Just post up a photo of your nan, mum, sister, auntie, or your own vintage wedding photo, and some details about the wedding day and be in with a chance to claim one of these great prizes:
1- The chance to have a character in the book named after the bride in your photo.
2 - A Singer 1507.
3 -Three twelve month subscriptions to fantastic craft magazine Mollie Makes.
4 - A deluxe sewing kit.
5 -A signed copy of Secrets of the Singer Girls.
And please remember, they don’t have to be lavish affairs; I’d love to see all photos, from registry offices to simple church dos. All wedding day photos from those turbulent times tell a story, what’s your family's? Seven winners will be selected at random after the closing date; remember to keep checking back on our page to see if you've won. Or if you prefer to email me the photo to katethompson380@hotmail.com"
