Last week I was clicking around the internet, doing a bit of fantasy shopping (where you don't click 'checkout' at the end) and bemoaning the state of the Australian dollar. Right at the top of my wanty list was a couple of the gorgeous Paumes titles. The next day, I saw Claire had been doing the same thing, and I was thrilled to then discover through a comment on her post that a few of these fantastic Japanese books were now available in Australia through Lark. A couple of red wines later, the 'checkout' button had been well and truly clicked.
London Gardens is as inspiring as I'd hoped.
Those fantastic white chairs seem to pop up everywhere in the book. And check out that garden studio!
i seriously NEED that garden studio. love, love, love.

That is so funny. And I thought I was the only one who did "fantasy" shopping like that! Silly me. Its funny how it almost satisfies that shopping urge!

Lovely book!
I am pleased and gratified that at least a few other people indulge in fantasy online shopping 8-)

I fantasy shop a lot!!!!! Glad to know I'm not the only one who does this. Some people I know think it's odd....

I love that garden studio. I wonder if I could convert my shed into one? Fantasy shopping is ace - I do it all the time!

The garden section of a good magazine department at Borders, Barnes & Nobles, etc and buy half a dozen good gardening magazines.Most of them will have garden layouts for a wide variety of circumstances. They also usually have web addresses for further information.

Japanese style landscaping is the best by far in my book!
