The GOOSEYE COLLECTION, named for the beautiful "gooseye" weaving pattern that resembles the eyes of geese! These bold and lovely scarves are drapey, warm, cozy and extra long (about 72" plus fringe and 7" wide) to wrap around your neck twice if desired. The colors and patterns evoke images from the heart and experience of the weaver. Joie-de-vire Handwoven Originals are truly "Wearable Art", as each scarf is an original design, woven only one or two to a warp. Click on "SLIDE SHOW" at the bottom of this page to see detailed photos of these scarves. Some of scarves pictured in the Gooseye Collection are available for sale at this time. There are others not shown here as well. Please inquire. Prices: $120-$140 retail plus postage (and 5% tax in Maine). PAYPAL is accepted.
Wholesale inquiries welcome (please use contact page).
Each Joie-de-Vivre Handwoven Original is a unique creation, inspired by the weaver’s love of working with the wonderful possibilities that exist in the worlds of color and natural fiber. Each handwoven, original weaving, holds the energy of the love and patience with which it was woven!

The "Spring Collection" was inspired by the Spring Flowers of Maine: the Violets, the Irises, the Lilacs and the Lupines. Finely thrown Danish Porcelain Clay is hand painted with overlapping patterns of greens, purples and rust to evoke the beauty of the floral world. This pottery is then high fired for a durable finish.
Acadia National Park's wonderful 50+ mile Carriage-road system includes sixteen stone brides built between 1917 and 1933 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., all intentionally rustic and each unique. The stone was quarried near each bridge. It took one man an entire day to shape just one stone. Visiting (and photographing) them all, as I have is an enchanting experience.
