WELCOME TO OUR NEW LOCATION IN CORNISH, MAINE!
ASTOIRIN RELOCATED FROM RAYMOND TO CORNISH IN SPRING 2023.
SINCE 2019, BETSY KATE HAS BEEN CULTIVATING RELATIONSHIPS WITH MAKERS, ARTISANS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, AND ENERGY WORKERS. WITH A BACKGROUND IN MUSEUMS AND RETAIL, SHE SLOWLY CURATED A VISION FOR HER OWN SHOP. OVER 10 YEARS OF DREAMING HAS FINALLY RESULTED IN THIS INITIAL REALIZED VISION OF HER DREAM SHOP.
CARRYING NATURAL AND ORGANIC SKINCARE PRODUCTS, SOAPS, NAIL POLISHES, PERFUMES, TOOTHPASTES AND CANDLES WAS SOMETHING BETSY KATE WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT. TO THIS MIX SHE ADDED ONE-OF-A-KIND CREATIONS FROM AMERICAN ARTISANS BASED IN MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, VIRGINIA, TEXAS, AND THROUGHOUT THE US. CLEVER NOTECARDS, BEAUTIFUL STATIONERY, TABLETOP ITEMS, PLUS-SIZE CLOTHING, BOOKS, AND PHOTOGRAPHY OFFERINGS ROUND OUT THE ECLECTIC AND SATISFYING MIX OF GOODS IN THIS COZY SPACE.
IT JUST FEELS GOOD TO SHOP HERE.
IN GAELIC, A STÓIRÍN, MEANS 'MY LITTLE TREASURE; MY LITTLE DARLING.'
HEAR HOW TO PRONOUNCE THIS WORD HERE.
ASTOIRIN CARRIES MANY PRODUCTS THAT SUPPORT SELF-CONFIDENCE, CREATIVE EMPOWERMENT, SELF-LOVE, AND KINDNESS--WITHOUT CRITICISM--FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS.
BETSY KATE CHOSE THE NAME BASED ON HER PASSION FOR TREATING OURSELVES AS TREASURES AS WELL AS BESTOWING 'LOVE GIFTS' TO THE BELOVED DARLINGS IN OUR LIVES.
HER LOVE OF IRELAND AND HER DEAR FRIEND ANN-MARIE'S LILTING IRISH ACCENT MAY HAVE HAD A WEE BIT OF INFLUENCE, TOO! BETSY KATE HAS BEEN TO IRELAND THREE TIMES SO FAR AND PLANS TO GO AGAIN SOON.
