Harmony by Melissa Lee For her new collection for Riley Blake Designs, Melissa Lee found inspiration in her love for honeybees.

They’re hardworking, cute, and most importantly, essential to the health of much of our planet, so I wanted to honor that in my work. Harmony is also inspired by the forest, plant life, and animals that populate my home at the bottom of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California."
