Village Landscape, Water etc.
There are many ways to lay out and decorate your Village. Some are more traditional than others. One area I found to be extremely rich in layout and landscaping ideas was the model railroading world. There are all kinds of unique items that can be incorporated to give your Village that POP that says "you're a decorating GENIUS!" ... even when you're not!
I'm working in collecting all of the eBay listings that fall into the Landscaping category so bear with me as I get them added.
In the meantime, if you're one of those folks who really wants the ultimate village layout, scenery and landscaping, I've put together a list of a few books and DVDs that I've found were really helpful in generating display ideas. Just hover your mouse over the link to get a preview.
