About Rain Oddities

Hello, I'm Aspen Rain, the artist and creator behind Rain Oddities.

Hi, I’m Aspen Rain, the owner of Rain Oddities!

I’ve always been drawn to the strange, unusual, and beautiful things that most people overlook. What started as a fascination with natural history, antiques, and curiosities quickly grew into a passion for preserving and sharing them with others.

At Rain Oddities, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of ethically sourced wet specimens, taxidermy, bones, insects, diaphonized specimens, your occasional uranium and UV reactive glass and antiques, crystals, and other one of a kind curiosities. I also enjoy creating custom displays that allow these incredible pieces to be appreciated for years to come.

Every item is handled with care and respect, and I love helping people start or expand their own collections, whether you’re a seasoned collector or just discovering the world of oddities for the first time.

Thank you for supporting my small business and for appreciating the weird, the macabre, and the wonderfully unique. I’m so glad you’re here.

My Vision

At Rain Oddities, my vision is to create a space where curiosity is celebrated and the unusual is appreciated. I want to inspire people to see beauty in the strange, educate others about natural history and preservation, and provide ethically sourced pieces that spark conversation and wonder.

I believe every specimen, antique, and curiosity has a story worth preserving. My goal is to make the world of oddities welcoming to everyone! from lifelong collectors to those discovering their first unique piece.

Rain Oddities is more than a shop; it’s a place where art, science, history, and nature come together. Through thoughtful curation, quality craftsmanship, and respect for every piece, I hope to build a community that embraces the weird, values ethical collecting, and finds beauty in the extraordinary.

My Mission

At Rain Oddities, my mission is to ethically preserve and share the beauty of the natural world through carefully curated specimens, antiques, and curiosities. I am committed to providing high quality, responsibly sourced pieces while promoting education, appreciation, and respect for natural history.

My goal is to create a welcoming space where collectors, artists, and the curious alike can discover unique treasures that inspire wonder and spark meaningful conversations. Through honesty, craftsmanship, and a passion for the unusual, I strive to ensure every piece finds a home where its story can continue to be appreciated for years to come.

What Makes Rain Oddities Different

Rain Oddities is built on a genuine passion for the unusual, not just selling oddities, but preserving stories, history, and the beauty of the natural world. Every piece is thoughtfully selected or created with care, ensuring quality, authenticity, and ethical sourcing.

I believe collecting should be approachable and educational, so I’m always happy to answer questions, share knowledge, and help people find pieces that truly speak to them. Whether you’re a lifelong collector or purchasing your very first specimen, you’ll be treated with the same honesty, respect, and enthusiasm.

Rather than following trends, Rain Oddities focuses on offering unique, ever changing collections that you won’t find in a typical gift shop. My goal is to create an experience that inspires curiosity, celebrates the strange, and helps people appreciate the fascinating intersection of nature, science, history, and art.

At Rain Oddities, we believe every ending holds a story worth preserving.

Through ethical sourcing, thoughtful craftsmanship, and artistic vision, we transform nature's forgotten treasures into meaningful works of art that celebrate wonder, remembrance, and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
