    Hi, Dave, I enjoyed your well-written review of the exhibit so much,
    I'd like your permission to hold onto it and possibly use it in the
    CMAG newsletter I edit. Looks like the closest the show will get to
    Chicago is about 5 or 6 hours away in Michigan, about a year from
    now, but I'm hoping to organize a road trip. I also enjoyed your
    analysis of retail evolution, and passed it on to B, as I thought
    he'd also find it interesting. I hope the job search goes well. It
    seems as though people are more optimistic than, say, a year ago,
    which baffles me, considering the dire mess we are in with our
    government, etc (but let's not go there...). I just did my first
    show (of 5 I'm doing this year), one I always do, and my sales were
    a personal best. I concentrated on preparing simple, contemporary
    designs that I could sell at very moderate prices-- some under $50--
    and found that the low prices were met with suspicion as to whether
    they were real sterling and amethyst (or whatever). So I raised the
    price. Of course, the next one may be just the opposite... Anyway,
    good luck, and thanks for the thoughtful posts-- 

--Noel
