All the deets on Rae Dunn.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram or Facebook then you probably already know how intense this is about to get. (LOL) Ok but really girl.

We all have something we love to collect. Yours might be purses or perfume, maybe it’s clothes or shoes. For me it’s Rae dunn, home decor, and anything Joanna Gaines. The most important being Rae dunn. It has taken over my house. Every where you look, RAE DUNN.

I’ve been collecting now for over 3 years. I can’t seem to stop even when I think I have enough. (way more then enough) I always find something I just can’t pass up and she’s always coming out with the cutest stuff. I have so much I won’t be able to share it all on here but if you follow me on Instagram you’ll see bits and pieces of it throughout.

I think (I mean I know, I have wayyyy TOOO many mugs. It’s definitely something I have the most of.

Anyways, I get DM’s and comments all the time asking about Rae Dunn and where to find it, what it is, etc. So here I am to answer all of those questions and show you some of my favorite pieces.

Remember : I’m not an expert but this is my personal experience. (i’m pretty darn obsessed though so imagine all the time i’ve spent researching and dunning.) If you’ve never heard of Rae Dunn before this, where have you been living? I’m just kidding! I can’t believe I just started collecting 3 years ago. I’ve gotten so much over the years, some I’ve sold, some I keep simply to display and some I buy for my daughter.

WHO IS RAE DUNN?

If you don’t know who Rae Dunn is, she’s a California native and she resides in the San Francisco, Bay Area. She has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Industrial Design and worked in graphics and fashion design for several years before discovering clay, which has now been her passion since 1994. All of her pieces are unique in their own way. She has so MANY lines but my favorite is LL (long letters) and ICON as well as a ton of her new pieces.

All of her pieces are absolutely gorgeous though and unique in their own way. I actually had a Rae Dunn mug in my cabinet for YEARS and had no idea it was made by her because it wasn’t one of her super dimpled mugs or anything. It was just an OLD piece made by Magenta. (before rae dunn had her own stamp, her pieces were stamped magenta)

So I looked her up immediately and it was game over. I started going to openings and searching for pieces I wanted. I WAS JUST IN LOVE! Not only with the products, but her! She was so kind to everyone and so humble. She was just the sweetest, cutest thing! (really though look her up if you haven’t already)

Every single piece is unique and that’s what makes them so special, some have imperfections that others don’t. I personally love her thinner pieces. Some are pretty thick, some are thin, some are super dimply, others not. Makes you just love them all even more. Here are some of the main questions that I get about rae dunn. Then we’ll get to some photos of my favorite pieces.

BEST DAYS TO SHOP FOR RAE DUNN?

The best days to shop at Homegoods, TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (and sometimes Sunday) If you can, go in the morning but try not to bring kiddos. (I sometimes bring mine but try not to) They also sometimes to put it out on other days, or even put it out throughout the day, It really all depends on your store.

When I realized how wild it gets going to openings, I stopped going with the kids. just went when I could and I’d get lucky! I’ve never been one to really collect anything but something about the simplicity of it just made me need it! I started going out every week and searching for more.

Some things I really just by to use for displays but most of it we use everyday. I had to buy a hutch when we moved to fit it all(which really needs to be redone and I probably need 3 more hutch’s to fit all my rae dunn.

It’s nearly impossible to get pictures of all my rae dunn so this blog will have to do without! Rae Dunn is all over now! You see everyone hunting and selling it for 4x the cost. It’s pretty sad actually. People like me just genuinely love to collect and it makes it hard for us! Now instead of having it all in one section though it’s ALLLL over, some hidden, some not. Putting it out at different times of the day. Being that it’s all in different sections now makes it a little tricky but I love it! It makes it fun when I do go out!

Me and my best friend collect and we love to do openings together! So many of my friends started collecting when they saw all of mine, it’s so simple, it’s perfect! I love seeing what my friends come up with! It’s the best being able to connect with them on something other then the kiddos.(mom life right)

WHAT DOES RAE DUNN CARRY?

She has everything from mugs, bowls, mixing bowl, pasta bowls, ice cream bowls, ice cream scoop, utensils, bird houses, colanders, honey pots, pens, clocks, magnets, laundry baskets, canisters, dog bowls, cat bowls, bathroom carts, living room carts, desk items, work items, planters, pens, calendars, notebooks, and so much more! You name it? She probably has it! Some things are really hard to find depending where you live! I get lucky quite a bit, hence the rae dunn all over my house. My husband use to hate it and now he’s pretty open and uses all of it. He even has his own mugs and loves when he gets new ones.

BEST PLACES TO FIND RAE DUNN?

You can find some at Magenta, Hobby Lobby or Sierra but the best places to look are Marshall’s, TJ maxx, and HomeGoods. You can find her other line at Kirkland’s. It really all is based on luck. Go when you can, buy only what you love and enjoy! I hope this answers your questions about my absolute favorite.
