I was first introduced to Rhianna's work when I stumbled upon her booth at the Renegade Craft Fair. I instantly fell in love with her work and have enjoyed following her "Doodle-a-day" on Instagram. Take a peek around her shop! I'm eyeing a few of her prints for our new gallery wall. 
"This charming print is perfect bee lovers and would be a whimsical addition to studio or any room in your sweet little home. This illustration was carefully hand-painted in watercolors by me. It is digitally printed on heavy weight matte archival paper and each print is signed."

This adorable charm necklace is the perfect spring and summer accessory. Clammy's Closet has a wide variety of unique jewelry, and Katherine also takes custom orders. 
"This charm necklace is truly unique! It features a bee charm in an antique bronze finish for a rustic look. A handmade fabric button lays a one-of-a-kind backdrop for this necklace. It is crafted from a bright yellow fabric with a white lace overlay. The lace gives the appearance of honeycomb for a whimsical touch. A handmade pearl charm finishes the piece."
