This post earlier today has got us with branches on the brain. It's an easy (and often super-inexpensive) way to add an earthy element to your home. We've rounded up a few of our favorite products and branch DIY ideas (and some products that would make good DIYs) after the jump...

Quick - Someone help get the branch off poor Brian!!!
in our kitchen my mum has a tree branch with little birds in them. its cute.
I've just spent the last hour looking for a manzanita jewelry stand. Skip Crate and Barrel and Raina Rae - try Manzanita Burlworks (http://manzanita.com/) for natural or sandblasted manzanita branches for much cheaper...$25 instead of $98. They're based near San Diego and have their statement of compliance (about where/how they get the wood) up on their site, which I appreciate.
alisonata thanks for the info:)
