    Hi, I am a new member and this is my first post. Thank you all for
    your wonderful insight and for keeping me entertained and laughing
    while I'm at work in the studio! 

    Yes, there is a rumor that the wholesale only section may get the
    axe. I was in that section this year, and no one was very happy
    about it. I did not do the show last year, but apparently, what
    should have been the entrance to the show, (and was last year) a
    door leading directly into the wholesale only section, was closed
    off. This made the section very very inaccessible to the buyers. But
    then again, there were not many buyers there in the first place....I
    guess I could complain, but that is not going to get me anywhere.
    Then there is the rumor that some people in the wholesale/retail
    section don't even do wholesale, they just don't fill those orders,
    and are there only for the retail but couldn't get in otherwise. 

    As for jewelry that doesn't meet the so called ACC standards, well,
    there was some, why, I'm not quite sure. There was even an exhibitor
    there who told me straight up she did not make anything, that she
    had it manufactured (I have no idea where and I just don't care).
    That is upsetting. Really makes me mad. 

    All in all, everything upsetting aside, the real question you have
    to ask yourself is, "Will I do it again next year". I know I will.
    So, I really hope they don't get rid of wholesale only. 

Blessings,
Brooke
