Nice, i love hooks as well!
target.com (of all places) has a set of 3 twig wall hooks for $14.99, very similar to the Broom/twig hooks.

I've bought hooks from Metalmorphosis and been very happy with them.

These are nice and unique-looking hooks, but one thing I never like about photos of such things is that they artfully put one or two items on the hooks for the shot. In real life, you'd be filling them up to capacity and they don't look nearly as artistic or attractive when full. In fact, it can look overly busy and cluttered if you have disparate items hanging on them.

I wish the pictures used for such items (and I realize that this is beyond this site's capacity to do anything about it so I'm not criticizing this site or the poster in the least!) showed them as they're used in real situations.

The twig hooks would be great for a log cabin, or a woodsy themed room. And I really like the tree.

A line of really great hooks that straddle the line between rustic and modern very nicely, is found at http://booneshooks.com/

And besides the great design, they're hand-forged, and thus each is unique.

Thanks Ratita for the tip on the Target hooks...i forwarded it on to a friend of mine who was looking for something similar. I also posted them on my blog: thesalerack.blogspot.com.
Thanks!

I swear there was a Martha Stewart show where she shows how to make the twig hooks... w/ Cohan O'Brien... oh man, it was hilarious.

I got a couple of these adorable alley cat hooks before they were discontinued. I love to just browse the selection of interesting hardware at this site.
