Upcoming Events

Upcoming events: Renegade Chicago Sept 8 & 9. I love going to Chicago for this event filled with amazing vendors and food. This year I am sharing with my friend and talented artist, Laura Berger. September 14, 15, & 16 back home in Detroit for one of my favorites events of the year, DIY Street Fair in Ferndale, MI. Talented artists and crafters, locally crafted beer, bands, and locally made food. Then I get to head north to one of my favorite cities of all time, Traverse City, for the awesome Makers Market on September 22nd. This year it is being held at the Traverse City Commons in the Village, the site of the old mental hospital. Beautiful location and I can't wait! Hope to see you at one of these events and if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line. courtney@courtneyfischer.com. I have been busy getting married and now back to jewelry making. My focus lately has been enameling and I'm excited to debut new pieces at these upcoming events.

Summer is here. Not officially but it sure feels like it. I am very excited about upcoming shows and debuting new work. Hope to see you at one of these awesome events! See links and info to the right.

Spring Shows

Spring Shows! Find at me at these awesome events. Dates to the right. Happy spring!

Mmm Coffee

I am a self proclaimed coffee snob. Love it, drink it every morning. Usually, I'm a french press gal and sometimes go for a latte. While in Chicago, I had the pleasure of going to La Colombe coffee shop and it was delicious. Yum!

CFJ in Action

Last weekend I went to Chicago for a baby shower/party and Courtney Fischer Jewelry was well represented by the attendees. I felt the love! A bottle of Kahlua photo bombed us while trying to showcase our jewelry, but you get the idea.

Happy 2012

Happy New Year! My first outing this year was to Nest, a housewares boutique in Detroit. Owned by the same owners of City Bird, which I love, Nest is equally as awesome. I wanted one of everything! A beautiful framed butterfly "papillions" print came home with me as a new addition to our living room. I snapped a few photos with my retro camera ap. If you haven't been, I would recommend it. Cheers to 2012!

Traverse City this weekend!

 Fall is my favorite time of year and I am super excited to be heading north this weekend for the Makers Market in Traverse City! Hopefully a few of the tress will still have their leaves. The event is from 10am-4pm at the Ecco event center downtown. I love TC and plan on a good meal, some local beer, and a haunted hay ride with friends. Happy fall to you.

Wild West

Back in Michigan after a relaxing trip to New Mexico for a wedding reception and Colorado to visit my aunt and uncle. Seeing the mountains around you is an amazing thing. I could get used to it! The wildlife is everywhere in CO. Deer, turkeys, horses, and porcupine to name a few. Sitting on the porch, drinking a few Pacificos, and cooking delicious meals was the highlight of the trip. Next show is  Crafty Bastards this weekend in DC. I haven't been since a kid and can't wait for an awesome event and to be a tourist...not to mention the shopping at the fair!

Summertime!

 August is coming to a close and the summer was a whirlwind! Craft shows, cook outs, northern Michigan weekends, swimming, good times with fam and friends. Loved every minute!! The People's Art Festival in Detroit last weekend  was a blast. Complete with artists, kick ass Detroiters, $2 Sailor Jerry and cokes, and lots and lots of sunshine made for a wonderful weekend. I snapped a few pictures of the beautiful and industrial Russel as well as a fab and supportive customer Annie, rocking two necklaces from my booth. Thank you Detroit and cheers to the final days of summer.

Heidelberg

 Back from Europe and reliving the trip through photographs. The first weekend we headed south from Cologne ( spotted a great old camper on the autobahn) and spent a night and day in Heidelberg. A lovely and picturesque university town straight from a story book We walked to the castle for sunset, had schnitzel and beers, a doner kebab for lunch the next day ( "fast" and delicious food), and stayed at the charming Gasthaus Blackmulde. Up next, the Rhein and Mosel Valley!

Thank you, Bloomington.

Just arrived back in Michigan from  the Bloomington Handmade Market and a quick trip to Louisville to visit family. A big thank you to the gals who organize the event and to the awesome volunteers! The show was filled with amazing vendors, friendly visitors,and a sunny spring day. I traded with the super awesome and talented Megan of the Binding Bee for a lovely handmade journal, pictures to come. Dinner at Upland Brewery, drinks at the Atlas bar and Nick's, and a quick stop at the Irish Lion brought an end to our day. Thank you kind people of Bloomington for a great weekend!

Bloomington Bound!

Bloomington, IN is one of my favorite places to be and I am headed there this weekend for an awesome event, the Bloomington Handmade Market. It was a wonderful place to go to college and remains to be a great place to visit. Remembering stories, the feeling of the unknown, and of course the food! I always mentally prepare what I want to eat before I visit. Bloomington Bagel Company, which is provided at the craft fair, is often a stop. Followed by the Irish Lion where I worked in college (wings, brie plate, and beer anyone)? Maybe the Trojan Horse for lunch and no trip is complete without breakfast at the Runcible Spoon! To name just a few. I love Bloomington for its laid backness, the beautiful surroundings, and the amazing people. Hope to see you at the Handmade Market at the Convention Center Saturday, April 2nd from 10am- 4pm.
