THE TREASURE HUNT BEGINS
“Hey, I NEED RAE DUNN!!” Kara texts me late Saturday morning.
“Rae Dunn? What’s Rae Dunn?” I replied, confused as to what she is talking about.
“That pottery glass stuff!” she reminds me. “If you see any large lettering ANYTHING, please purchase it for me ASAP. I’m looking for bird houses too.”
As I realize what Kara is talking about I quickly respond, “Oh yeah, Rae Dunn…DUH! I’ll keep a look out!”
While I lay in bed this fine Saturday Morning, (yes, I’m not even up for the day yet), I smile about this treasure hunt my girlfriend has pursued full force. She literally went to HomeGoods 3 times last Monday and at one point stayed in the store for over 2 hours hunting for Rae Dunn pottery! Last Friday she was there for 4 hours!
Kara is a loving mother, wife and entrepreneur in the skin care industry. She lives a well-balanced life with her beautiful family of 3 and works hard daily at everything she does. Could this Rae Dunn epidemic be her heroin or is it her saving grace? Is it an obsession? Or is it simply a community of women seeking affirmation in their daily dose of coffee? I’m curious and I have to know what this craze is all about!
WHAT IS RAE DUNN?
If you’re not familiar with Rae Dunn already and you’re asking yourself the same things such as, “What is this fanatical craze all about?” , then you’re in the right place.
This pottery, that could be described as casual, white and featureless with simple lettering and only a couple of words, has such profound meaning. Sometimes this stuff literally describes the object, for example a pitcher that just says "pour" or a mug that says "coffee." While other pieces offer affirmation such as, a mug that says, “balance,” or a serving tray that says, “party.”
These pieces can be found at Tj Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls, or through re-sellers online. The downside to buying through re-sellers online is that they generally inflate prices because these products are so exclusive, with minimal supply and high demand. This is one hot interior design trend for 2018! Especially if you’re going for the farmhouse interior look.
THE HUNT CONTINUES
Later that week, I messaged my girlfriend about grabbing lunch Friday and proposed the idea of interviewing her to write about this rising epidemic for Rae Dunn.
Kara texts me, “I went to HomeGoods 3 times today! My friend was there from 8:00am, waiting till the doors opened, and ended up staying at HomeGoods past 3:00pm. She found nothing and some other girl found 5 things and didn’t even share. ”
I’m humored and respond saying, “This is definitely blog worthy material! I’d like to interview you and do a spit on this rising epidemic for Rae Dunn!”
She was excited and replied saying, “Deal! I’d love to meet up and I have to meet a “Dunner” in Tualatin at HomeGoods tomorrow.”
“A Dunner? Like Rae Dunn Dunning?” I ask.
“YES. ” She responds as excited as ever.
“You are so funny! Tell me when and where and I’m there!” I quickly replied. I was so excited to get the scoop on this new addiction of hers.
“Meet me at the HomeGoods in Tualatin at 12:00pm, I’m meeting someone to make a trade,” Kara states.
TREASURE HUNTING WITH KARA
As I approach HomeGoods Friday at noon, my curiosity grows stronger. Once Kara and I found each other, I had just missed the trade.
“How’d it go? Was it weird trading with her outside of the store like this?” I asked.
“No! Not at all! It was easy,” she responds.
Kara already had her cart and was ready to roll. I followed her closely as we went up and down each isle meticulously looking for any large letter anything.
“Found it!” I say in total excitement, “Look at these cute Easter cups!”
She quickly replies stating, “That’s all the stuff no one wants girl, we want that white pottery with large lettering, this is glass. Keep the cart close and be the first to get your hands on it. These women will snag them up right in front of you!”
Consulting with the experts
As we turn the corner to go down the next isle, still on the hunt for this exclusive product, we run into one of Rae Dunn’s biggest community supporters, Jamie. She too, is a loving stay at home mother and owner of the Facebook group, “Rae Dunn B/S/T Portland, Oregon.” This is a closed Facebook group with 1.2k members. The only rule for being associated with this group is that no one can sell or trade Rae Dunn products for more than retail in order to attract true collectors; not someone who is only looking to make a buck.
I introduced myself to Jamie, and told her about what I was out doing with Kara, writing a story about Rae Dunn. She was amused and the 3 of us start talking.
“My kids go to school from 8:00am – 2:00pm and during that time, I schedule meetings for trades, and come here to shop HomeGoods. Openings are best if you’re really trying to get your hands on product.” Jamie Says.
“Do you have meetings for trades every day?” I ask curious as to how committed she is to this brand.
“Oh yes!” She replies, “I have appointments all day, every day.”
“Do you buy only what you need to complete your collection and give others a fighting chance?” I ask.
She responds saying, “I recommend you buy extras so that you have pieces to trade with. You can easily miss an opportunity to get what you want at the store."

Reviews for "The Enigmatic Purr-sonality of Rae Dunn Witch Cat Collection"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Rae Dunn witch collection. The quality of the items was not up to par with other Rae Dunn products I've purchased in the past. The mugs and plates had uneven glazing and some even had imperfections on the surface. Additionally, I found the design to be quite basic and uninspiring. Overall, I expected better from Rae Dunn and would not recommend this collection to others.
2. Mark - 3/5 - While I appreciate the simplicity of Rae Dunn designs, I found the witch collection to be a bit underwhelming. The choice of colors was not very captivating and the motifs of the collection felt repetitive. Furthermore, I had some issues with the functionality of the items. The mugs, for example, didn't keep my beverages hot for long, and the plates were too shallow to hold a decent portion of food. It's a decent collection if you're a die-hard fan of Rae Dunn, but I personally did not find it to be worth the hype.
3. Emily - 2/5 - I was really excited about the Rae Dunn witch collection, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The quality of the items was lackluster, with the paint easily chipping off after just a few uses. The black and orange color scheme also felt a bit overdone and generic for a Halloween collection. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of creativity and attention to detail in this collection. I wouldn't recommend it to others looking for unique and well-made Halloween decor.
