branch style

i'm pretty sure that in other parts of the world, the leaves are beginning to drop from the trees and the beautiful sketch of branches against a gray sky is beginning to form.

living in L.A., i have to go by memory only when it comes to seasonal changes. maybe that's why i've been noticing the branch motif in just about every form (it's in fierce competition with the ubiquitous telephone wire)

this lovely, lovely ring from etsy artist, 'the intuitive garden'

for you dreamy nesters: the tree bed by shawn lovell metalworks this is really cool. but i hate to think of the dust gathering potential.

also from lovell, why settle for a boring front door when you can welcome your guests with art:

and from west elm: the pine branch salad plates

from urban the branch hooks

meanwhile, i have to get my irrigation system working, so my garden doesn't die in the heat. branch photo courtesy of elfbol on flickr
