#voyageactually

gcma_sc heading back to SC after 3 fun filled days with @Patrick Coue, @voyageactually ..a tour guide who knew it all, where to go, what to eat, what to see...just incredibly in the know about EVA-THANG and so much fun to boot!!!...last night after returning from Chadds Ford he suggested one last quick spin thru a few spots ...one real surprise was the stop in Macy’s to hear the incredible organ ..around 28,000 pipes..the largest organ in a non-religious setting...Patrick not only knows the US but being from France he is a wealth of information about what to see/do, where to stay , not only in France but beyond but in addition to all that he is a food expert with a background in cuisine as well as his art history background...DM me for his contact info...we are already talking to him about him leading gcma_sc in 2020 for a trip to several parts of France...#deborahgibsondesign #voyageactually #cuisinechezcoue https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzeYOlgy8N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1adc8uek5xspz

Such a delight for @gcma_sc to tour NC Wyeth’s studio, with @voyageactually and @philadelphiahospitality ....from the moment you step thru the Studio front door the scent of age envelops your entire self ...that old aroma from aging wood and time...then big doors slide open to reveal a magical space full of NC Wyeth memorabilia...his painter’s coat, his artists’ palette beside his big easel, props he used in many of his illustrations or paintings...then you step down into a cavernous room where he used to paint his murals...it is as if time stood still from the day he was tragically killed in a car/train accident , with his young nephew right next to his home. #deborahgibsondesign #gcma_sc #ncwyethstudio #chaddsfordpa #voyageactually #philadelphiahospitality https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzdCXkg5Vg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=66nnm68zgjcv

With @gcma_sc , The first photo is a painting NC Wyeth painted of his wife and 5 children...Andrew, Carolyn, Henriette, Ann and Nat...it resides on the deep window ledge in the family living room..other photos that follow are their family dining room, the Butler’s Pantry and an upstairs bedroom..the upstairs tour was a real treat because it is rarely toured..we were very lucky for the red carpet to be rolled out for us by @brandywinerivermuseum and also with Patrick Coue @voyageactually and @philadelphiahospitality ...beautifully and lovingly kept. #deborahgibsondesign #gcma_sc #voyageactually #philadelphiahospitality #brandywinerivermuseum https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzOnkSARFR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=90drjj29coth

What a very special time yesterday, @brandywinerivermuseum ....a trip into Mary Landa’s beautiful “Oval Office” (behind the scenes) to see special works by Andrew Wyeth...with @gcma_sc @voyageactually @philadelphiahospitality ...private tours, due to smaller sizes allow for peeks into other worlds!.. of course, since @gcma_sc has the largest collection of Andrew Wyeth watercolors in any public institution , our good friends @brandywinerivermuseum treated us royally! #deborahgibsondesign #voyageactually #cuisinechezcoue #brandywinerivermuseum #philadelphiahospitality #andrewwyeth https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzG5pZg5in/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12d8pag8rjx95
