Hello! I’m Kathryn, the founder of Queenie’s Curio. This shop was created in honor of my beloved grandmother, Regina or as her siblings used to call her ‘Queenie’ — a compassionate, sweet, and deeply influential woman who truly made me everything I am today. She loved to shop and had a special gift for finding beauty in the little things. Her warmth, generosity, and joyful spirit continue to inspire everything I do.

I’ve worked with artists for over 15 years, and my passion has always been to create meaningful opportunities for them to keep doing the work they love. Queenie’s Curio is a reflection of that — a space filled with handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces created by talented local artists and makers. Every item is thoughtfully curated with heart and purpose.

This shop is also part of a bigger dream. As a mother to a wonderful daughter with Autism, I hope that Queenie’s Curio will one day be a place where she can work, grow, and build something of her own, if she chooses. In time, a portion of our proceeds will go toward supporting the local Autism community, helping to create more inclusive spaces and opportunities for others as well.

Thank you for being here and for supporting a story that’s so close to my heart. Queenie’s Curio is more than just a boutique — it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and connection.
