PUZZLE ANSWER


We are so proud to addFactors Cottage to our locallyowned family of fine stores inthe Historic Riverfront Districtof Savannah.

For over nine years, the previousowners, Donna, Fred and Markdedicated themselves to providingcustomers with a terrific gift shopthat customers came to love andreturn to time after time.

Front and center, as you enter thestore, is a beautiful collection from Amia, theunquestionable leader in hand-painted glassmanufacturing artistry.

To your left you will discover a large display ofWoodstock Chimes. These are created andmusically tuned by GRAMMY Award winningGary Kvistad. See and hear why they arereferred to as “The World’s favorite Windchime.”

Look up, and you can’t miss the dazzling dis-play of Galleria Umbrellas. You would neverexpect that a display of umbrellas could dazzleanything, but this has indeed become one ofthe “Hallmarks” of Factors Cottage.

To your right there’s the “kid' s corner” thatfeatures hard to find items for young childrenincluding the classic Little Simon pop-upbooks, where children can take “The Journeyto the Moon” and where favorites like PeterPan, Cinderella, and more come to imaginarylife... just like when WE were kids.

A marquis product line for years has been the

“Sid Dickens Memory Blocks.” This is avery exclusive artistic series that in factbecome valuable collectors items foradoring customers.

Of course, Factors Cottage also has aselective assortment of Savannah souve-niers and collectibles. (Small change here,sorry guys, snow globes have to go).

So, it is our full intention to “do the rightthing” and keep what has kept fans ofFactors Cottage coming back.

We also, however are lean-ing on our experience toadd items that will furtherstrengthen the product mixat Factors Cottage.

We believe that the way totruly create a “unique”shopping experience is tohave products that have aWOW FACTOR. If an itempresented by vendors “might”be a “fit” for Factors Cottage,you can bet that we will justsay “no”.

Like the incredible FragranceSpheres from Georgia’s ownHabersham Candle Company.These fragrance “diffusers”

don' t require a candlewick, oils, or elements to“plug in”. And they perform for a minimum ofthree years! Try a sample of “Solid Solutions”, ablend of natural emollients that nourish, protectyour skin and promote healing of dry, crackedproblem areas including hands, elbows, kneesand feet! The “Solid Solutions TO GO” producedin smaller disks are acceptable in carry-on luggage.

See the incredible and “lifelike” American BaldEagle kite that soars the air with a 60” wingspan.

Just as our mission is, our slogan reflects thepoint of differentiation:“Home of Local and Unusual Interests.”

We truly believe this is your store, not “ours” aswithout you, “we” wouldn' t be here!

Undetectable by thenaked eye, small biting bugs called Chiggersmake Spanish moss their home. During theearly days of the Colony, residents often stuffedand bound their mattresses with the soft andbountiful moss, only to wake up irritated anditchy after the tiny bugs invaded their slumber.

N o visit to Savannah is complete w ithout a visitto the city’s historic cemeteries, each of w hich servesas a f inal resting place f or many of Savannah’s mostf ascinating residents. E ach of these cemeteries issituated amid incredib ly scenic surroundings.

E ven if cemeteries give you gooseb umps, you’llb e glad you stopped b y to ex perience some ofSavannah’s uniq ue history f irsthand. J ust don’t staytoo long!

BO N A VE N T U RE CE M E T E RYImmortalized by John Berendt in his bestsellerMidnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,Bonaventure is the final resting place for many ofSavannah’s most prominent citizens includingsongwriter Johnny Mercer (1909-1976), poetConrad Aiken (1889-1973) and plantation ownerNoble Jones (1701-1775), one of Savannah’soriginal settlers who colonized the city withGeneral James Oglethorpe in 1733. Located alongthe scenic banks of the Wilmington River,Bonaventure Cemetery also features group burialsfor the American Legion Field, the ConfederateStates of America, the Order of Railroad Conductorsand the veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Originally a 600-acre plantation, Bonaventure wassold for $5,000 in 1846 to Savannah businessmanPeter Wiltberger, who turned the land into a publiccemetery called Evergreen Cemetery. The City ofSavannah purchased Evergreen Cemetery in1907 and turned it into Bonaventure Cemetery.

Savannah photographer Jack Leigh captured theimage that graces the cover of Midnight in theGarden of Good and Evil — a burial statue, nick-named “The Bird Girl,” that once stood in theheart of Bonaventure Cemetery. The “Bird Girl”statue is currently on display at the TelfairMuseum of Art.HOW TO GET THERE: Bonaventure is locatedjust off Pennsylvania Avenue on BonaventureRoad.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

CO L O N I A L P A RK CE M E T E RYColonial Park Cemetery is the city’s only non-active cemetery, meaning that no more burials takeplace on this historic plot of land, located at thecorner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue.

Walk through the graceful arch erected by theDaughters of the American Revolution and you willdiscover a window into Savannah’s rich past. Manyof Savannah’s earliest settlers are buried inColonial Park, whose gravestones date back to the1700’s.

Today, Colonial Park Cemetery serves as a park for many Savannah residents. ManySavannahians stroll through the cemetery in the

early morning or walk their dogs within the ceme-tery’s wrought iron perimeter in the evening. HOW TO GET THERE: The main entrance islocated at the corner of Abercorn Street andOglethorpe Avenue.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

L A U RE L G RO VE CE M E T E RYEstablished in 1852, Laurel Grove Cemetery hasthousands of graves that reflect Savannah’s richhistory, situated amid groves of live oak, magnoliaand dogwood trees. This contemplative site, whichfeatures ornate ironwork and magnificent statuary onmany of the lots, was once called SpringfieldPlantation.

Laurel Grove is divided into two distinct sections,by a highway connector. Laurel Grove North, per-haps the better-known part of the cemetery, is theburial place of hundreds of Confederate soldiers aswell as prominent citizens like Juliette Gordon Low,the founder of the Girl Scouts, and FlorenceMartus, Savannah’s “The Waving Girl.”

Laurel Grove South serves as the final restingplace for many members of Savannah’s African-American community.
