Interiors
Much of the character that drew Lori Bembry Weldon to Swann Cottage on Love Street was still intact when she purchased it. Original heart pine floors run through rooms with tall ceilings and fireplaces. A graceful, curved staircase rises from the central hall, while transoms, old doors, detailed millwork and diamond-paned glass provide the architectural character Lori hoped to preserve. Rather than trying to remove every sign of the house’s age, she has learned to appreciate it.
Fall for Fun
While the season is often associated with peak foliage in the North Georgia mountains, the reality across the state is far more varied. Depending on where you go and how you like to travel, fall throughout Georgia can feel dramatic, quiet, immersive, coastal, or completely unhurried. Rather than a ranked list of “best places to see leaves,” Georgia State Parks naturally lend themselves to a more personal approach, one shaped by mood, pace, and landscape.
Pansy Poe
During some online research, a Pebble Hill employee discovered a Thoroughbred racehorse in Ireland named Pansy Poe. The more she learned, the more extraordinary the connection became. A young chestnut filly racing in Ireland today carries the name of one of the most accomplished owner-breeders of the 20th century — a woman whose passion for horses took her from Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville to the bluegrass of Kentucky and across the Atlantic to Ireland.
