Nettleton Hollow was launched in March 2005 by Justin Brandreth Potter. Potter had just moved to Brooklyn and wanted to decorate his first apartment with pieces of nature to offset his city life. He started shopping online for decorative branches and other lasting botanicals but only found junky crafty options. Nettleton Hollow was conceived to fill this void.
split fragrant oranges, $16.50 (10 pieces)
Mitsumata Branches, $14.50 (three branches)
Craspedia, $16.50 (12-14 stems)
We love how well organized the site is. Each item has suggestions for use and as well as ideas for related items to round out a display. Nettleton Hollow has everything from flowers to branches to fruits/pods and foliage.
If you're looking to bring nature in your home, we've had many suggestions for branch-related projects on AT. Here's a round up of those projects that should keep you busy for some time.

Wow - really digging all this stuff, and I find the prices very reasonable.
I lived in the mountains. I would come down to the city as a child set up a stand and sell twigs, pinecones, and mistletoe to people and make bank to those who anted some nature in their homes.
I called them idiots. Idiots who paid me for fallen branches.
Most of this stuff you can get from your local florist - if they don't have it that very day they can get it from the local Floral Market that supplies them.
That easy access may happen in San Francisco, but down here in Florida, this source is a real find!
I couldn't imagine paying for tree branches. Or pinecones. Or $16 for a couple oranges.
I guess everyone has to make money somehow.
Another nice place to find natural decor items is www.save-on-crafts.com . Although they don't have all the offerings of Nettleton Hollow, you can usually get good deals on branches, polished stones, things like that. Thers also lots of other cool things that a creative DIYer could use!
