    I did the Rosen show twice a long time ago. Coming from Arizona, my
    costs were very high. I didn't get any orders perse.... and felt
    like I ate my shirt and haven't gone back. 

    I did the ACC Summer show which is no longer. I picked up The Museum
    of Art and Design, the Contemporary Museum of Chicago, and the two
    galleries that I reconnect with at the Acre show. 

    This is the first time since 2003 (?) that I have done a wholesale
    show. I know that ACRE is the new kid on the block and building. I
    didn't get the west coast galleries that I was looking for, but I am
    thrilled with the galleries that I did talk to. People talked to me
    about doing teapot shows, and others ordered work. I look at this as
    an ongoing relationship. 

    I covered my costs and will make some profit just from these orders,
    and my expenses were not nearly what it cost for me to do Rosen.
    Also, there is a web presence, that hopefully will have orders from
    people who saw my work and needed to think about it. 

    I didn't expect to make a huge amount at this show, just am
    advertising and trying to build my business, so I did better than I
    expected. 

I will do it again.
Joan
