I think that doing freelance must be very hard work indeed and you would definitely not get it if you weren't very good at it. I think that there is never a time not to buy vintage props for photo shoots. Looking forward to your Halloween posts and will keep an eye out for those mags.

Some people probably do have lots of time to do nice things. I feel I make a little go a long way, because it's the nice things I want to remember. To me that's part of the reason for blogging. The rest of the time it's drudgery, but who wants to listen to other people whinging? (I know the answer; it's nobody).

The Civil War led to the destruction of some places, but as they were mostly rebuilt, it hasn't made a massive difference.

That makes sense, really - I know from working in 'big publishing' that getting into the shops is hard, and then the amount of the cover price big chains take is pretty high. And if the shops don't sell them, off they go to be pulped, so all the printing/distribution costs of those copies was wasted!
