There is something truly special about taking the time to create things by hand. Everything you see here at My Lovi is born from my love for traditional New England character, honest handiwork, and the cozy comfort of a home well-loved.
What began as a lifelong passion for traditional crafting has grown into my artisan studio in Windham, Maine. As the sole artisan behind My Lovi, I personally design, craft, and package every single item—from hand-painted seasonal decor and rustic collectibles to small-batch gourmet preserves and chocolates. I believe in quality that lasts, designs that bring a smile, and recipes made the old-fashioned way.
Thank you for stopping by, for supporting independent American craft, and for letting a little piece of my studio become part of your home.
Meet the Maker
I’m Gabrielle Lovi, the artist and maker behind everything you see here.
I’ve loved creating, baking, and working with my hands for as long as I can remember. Back in my early thirties, crafting started as a creative outlet alongside my day job. Once I moved to Maine in 2005, it felt like the right moment to take the leap and start My Lovi.
Today, I run the studio right from my home in Windham, Maine. Because I make small-batch jams, jellies, and gourmet confections, I became a licensed Maine Home Processor. That means every single treat is made in an inspected space using strict food safety standards, fresh ingredients, and genuine care, so you can enjoy them with total peace of mind.
Whether I’m working on seasonal wood decor, decoupaging unique pieces, or making fresh batches of artisan preserves and chocolates, I stick to traditional methods and take my time with the details. My goal is simple: to make quality, handmade pieces that bring a little extra warmth and comfort into your home.
