About Our Prize

September Raffle: Styled by Nature: Home Décor Package

Fully‑Curated Natural History Curio Display + Signature Accent Pieces

Value: $800

September’s raffle is designed for anyone who wants their home to feel like a beautifully styled natural‑history gallery. This home décor showstopper includes a fully museum‑curated curio case packed with minerals, fossils, and other natural wonders, paired with standalone statement pieces. Each piece was selected for texture, color, and visual impact, creating a display that looks like a designer-styled shelf at a home-decor show

Signature accent pieces include:

• Flower stone — a naturally patterned stone that reads like botanical art
• Scholar’s stone — a contemplative object used in East Asian interior styling
• Fossil plate — a one-of-a-kind shelf piece
• Vintage stone lamp — mid‑century modern vibes with natural‑material warmth
• Orthoceras fossil — an early cephalopod

Bring museum magic to your home. 

Raffle ends September 30, 2026 at midnight.
