I was in Williams Sonoma Home the other day and I found just the thing I was looking for, for our mantle. Only problem, in order to purchase these it would mean going without food for about a week. Yes, their lovely lemon branches were almost $40 a branch. Eek! I channeled my inner Martha and went to Michael's and purchased 2 bundles of fake lemons and some green florist tape. They were already on these tiny wire sticks, so I was able to come home and cut some branches from the yard and make my own!
I think they really look great with my collection of white temple jars / ginger jars / vases. As soon as this goes on sale, it will be mine. And when I mean sale, I mean super clearance. If anyone knows of an online retailer selling similar looking ones for less, let me know!

I know this is an old post, but if you are still looking for those jars then check to see if specialty shops around you carry Two's Company. The store I work at does and Two's Company made those jars last year and we have had ours on 60% clearance for the longest time. Just a thought!
Oh, and I love what your did with the lemons!
