What is Rae Dunn? Have you been asking yourself that question because you've heard all of the buzz? We have the answer to not only what Rae Dunn is, but better yet, how to decorate with Rae Dunn.

Rae Dunn is not only a what but a who. She lives in California and is the creative brains behind a line of housewares.

You can easily decorate a tiered tray with Rae Dunn items, and we showed you several ways in our round up post, Irresistible Rae Dunn Trays For A Happy Heart.

Rae's pieces have cute sayings on them!
