Party at My Childhood Home - Nielsens Brookside- The Power of Three!

Nielsens in Brookside has many wonderful artists represented. One of our artists, David von Braun is making plans to go back to Santa Fe this summer. So...we are having a party to give our customers a chance to be with him and his wonderful art before he leaves. Joining him and us the evening of May 3rd will be Chrissie Farrar a jewelry artist and Terri Higgs a hand painted silk artist.

I know it will be a fun time at my childhood home 3515 So. Peoria in Brookside-Tulsa. We will party from 5-8. Please join us!

I know you will enjoy meeting David, Chrissie and Terri and also enjoy the art of many other artists including Claudia Doyle! We hope to have a special party for Claudia Doyle later in the year.

David von Braun's art has a very special spiritual quality. That spirit fills the air in our Nielsens Brookside space. The space is where I was from day one... my parents lived in the back of the rented house for years before and after I was born and started Nielsens in the living room there. My parents later added on a large showroom in the front yard and a parking lot in the back yard. The space is much the same today. We are so happy to be home! You will love David's art. He went to The University of Tulsa and studied under the renowned Alexander Hogue. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own his art before he leaves for Santa Fe where the prices will surely skyrocket!

David von Braun also has a very special surprise for our May 3rd party - so do not miss out on this special unveiling. That is Thurs. May 3, 2012 from 5-8. 3515 So. Peoria.

Chrissie Farrar of Star Dust and Imagination makes beautiful jewelry creations in hand fabricated silver, dichroic glass and beads new and vintage. Her prices are very reasonably priced and her creations are lovely as is she! Chrissie's jewelry will make great Mother's Day gifts!!! Perfect timing. Chrissie has been a favorite Nielsens' artist for over ten years! We hope she will do some demonstrating of her art at our party and on an ongoing basis in Nielsens in Brookside! She will bring a huge selection of great one of a kind jewelry.

Nielsens will welcome Terri Higgs as a new Nielsens' artist! She paints beautifully on lovely silk. Her pieces are wearable art. She will have scarves, jackets and other lovely pieces for purchase. These would also make perfect Mother's Day gifts! I just fell in love with her art the minute I saw it. You will "feel" the spiritual quality of her pieces as well. She is a lovely person that I know you will want to meet.

Please join us in my childhood home anytime and especially Thurs. May 3rd 5-8 and meet three fabulous artists- David von Braun, Chrissie Farrar and Terri Higgs! You will be glad you did!

The party - art show- will benefit Kitchen Angels, whose mission is to provide nutritious, prepared meals to homebound individuals living with life challenging conditions; David von Braun's favorite charity. Or, will benefit your favorite charity... just ask us!

Thank you for supporting Nielsens and our artists and our charities by being a Nielsens' customer. That makes you part of our family!

Love, Andrea Nielsen

 

Fun This Friday Eve- Join us April 20th at 81st and Lewis !!!

Nielsens will welcome artist, Jose Santaeulalia from Valencia, Spain this Friday, April 20th. From 6-9 Jose will sculpt a Lladro right in Nielsens at 81st and Lewis! We will make a party of it!

You may also select Lladros to be signed at NielsensGifts.com . Nielsens has been a Lladro dealer since the early 1960s! My mother, Dorothy Nielsen, started offering the five original Lladro Angels in Nielsens Exclusive Gifts when Lladro first starting exporting their exquisite and sought after sculptures. She loved the little angels, that are still available today, because they have personality!

Nielsens Gifts in Brookside... and at The Plaza!

Nielsens in Brookside...and The Plaza !

Home Sweet Home, Brookside is so much fun for me! My parents started Nielsens
Exclusive Gifts in 1946 in the little rental house at 3515 South Peoria. My dad
designed the large showroom which is right at the bottom of the stairs of the
porch! Yes, the house is still there! Come and see it!

Nielsens went on to open at Southroads Mall when it opened and then Nielsens
went to the Plaza at 81st and Lewis when Southroads closed as a mall. Nielsens
is still at The Plaza and now at 3515 South Peoria too!

It is really fun being in the space where I grew up. There are definitely good
vibrations!

When visiting Nielsens at 3515 South Peoria you can park in the back and go in
our back entrance or park street side and come in the front door. I woke up one
morning before we opened and got a feeling to call AT&T about our original
phone number- it was available! So the number at Nielsens Brookside is again
918-747-4141. Of course that used to be RI 7-4141. Do you remember those prefixes???

Nielsens in Brookside has a mouth blown artsy chandelier and mouth blown glass
wall art available too. The prices are very reasonable. You will find the new
Spartina line of purses, iPad covers and totes, great jewelry in all price
ranges, Kinzig hand made lamps, Lladro's newest styles, Waterford Crystal,
Simon Pearce mouth blown glassware from Vermont, and so many choices for gifts
you will not believe it- from $5.00 !!! Brookside Nielsens - and the Plaza
Nielsens are open 10-6 Monday through Saturday.

Both Nielsens gift wrap and deliver in Tulsa for free and we will ship anywhere
for you! www.NielsensGifts is open all the time for your shopping fun!

I love being in the Brookside Nielsens- trip down memory lane AND everyone is
there! You are sure to meet friends shopping in Brookside. My parents, Art and
Dorothy Nielsen who with other great merchants started Brookside in the 1940's
would be so happy to see it becoming a great shopping place again! Nielsens
just had to be part of the resurgence...Home Sweet Home! Come and join us in
Brookside and at The Plaza! We love seeing our great friends! Tell us your
Nielsens stories!

Yesterday a lovely customer visited Nielsens in Brookside. Mrs. Hearn first
shopped there in the 1948 and is a new again customer in Brookside today...she
is 100! George said she must be lying about her age- she was so energetic! Her
first purchase was a lamp... Dorothy Nielsen made a beautiful shade for Mrs.
Hearn and their new home. Today, Nielsens Gifts in Brookside has some of the
most beautiful lamps made in America... come in to see.

Love to you all! We love making memories with you through your thoughtful gift
giving! Andrea Nielsen

Christmas in July ? Best Christmas/Winter/Holiday China for 2011 and Beyond!

My favorite Christmas dishes are Old Saint Nick by Vietri, for everyday and casual entertaining, and Starfluted by Royal Copenhagen for beautiful family gatherings and lovely home entertaining. These two patterns are the best of the best and will last forever and beyond!

Starfluted by Royal Copenhagen is my personal winter china! I set our table with it as soon as a cool wind starts to blow. Every day, we enjoy looking at it on our formal dining table and it is ready for company at a moment's notice! Julia Knight Holly Bowls, Holly Leaf Platters and any snow, pomegranate, mojito or mother of pearl Julia Knight serveware goes perfectly with this elegant Royal Copenhagen china! It is not just for Christmas - this is a winter china for the whole season, with lovely red bows, hearts and stars. You will love it too! Put 8 place settings in layaway at Nielsens now and you will have it out just in time for cooler weather! If you buy 8 or more place settings(Dinner, Salad, Cup & Saucer), I will give you the lovely new Oval Serving Platter! You will love it! Many of the serving pieces make great stand alone gifts. You do not have to have the china to enjoy these sweet pieces!

Vietri is a very popular pottery at Nielsens Gifts. This year the Old Saint Nick pattern has several great new pieces including salt and peppers! They also have produced a very limited signed platter for 2011.

Order yours now to be sure to not miss out and Nielsens will give you an Old Saint Nick ornament as our gift to you!- while supplies last!

If you buy 8 or more place settings (one place setting includes a dinner plate, salad plate, mug, and bowl) of Old Saint Nick I will give you the new Salt and Pepper as a gift! I know you will love this very happy pattern, all hand painted in Italy! Pieces of Old Saint Nick also make great gifts starting at around $20. My daughter has given the small bowls and the mugs as teacher gifts!

Come to Nielsens Gifts at 81st and Lewis in Tulsa to see both of these fabulous patterns. Brides should remember to add one- or both- of these patterns to their registry at Nielsens. You may also see them at www.NielsensGifts.com.

If you have not been in to see what is on sale for July at Nielsens - please- hurry in. If you wish, create your own sale! You may take 20% off any one item in stock!! Is there something you have always wanted? A Jay Strongwater piece, perhaps?

Summer Flowers- Friends- Family- Fun!!!

Touch them, think about her and then put those cherished heirlooms in your display! This may be the moment that you have been saving them for! Now go to the yard and fill the vases with flowers in a casual way.

Nielsens Gifts has them all and more! Gift wrap, delivery and shipping too. Nielsens makes gift giving and home entertaining easy and fun!!!

Back to our table- now that it looks so festive, why not get the china and crystal out too? Set the table and include a few Julia Knight serving pieces- order carryout food and invite the neighbors!

Nielsens - Your Store for Wedding Gifts!

I asked my 7 year old daughter what I should write about in Nielsens blog and she said a dog or a frog should be in the blog! Then she said really Nielsens has so many great wedding gifts, you should write about wedding gifts!  

First, the dog...Charlie is our pet poodle. We affectionately call our web site www.NielsensGifts.com - Charlie.  In this picture he was "dressed"for his mock wedding in our backyard!  Be sure to shop "Charlie" anytime for great gifts!  He doesn't care how you are dressed and he is ready for your commands 24/7 !

Nielsens has literally thousands of wedding gifts! My favorites...Julia Knight flower bowl, Julia Knight lily tray, Waterford pitcher, Simon Pearce bowl engraved with the couples name and wedding date, a Vagabound set of spreaders, Juliska covered serving dish, Michael Aram gold pear salt and pepper pair   
or a Beatrice Ball serving bowl.  The wonderful thing about Julia Knight, Waterford, Michael Aram, Vagabound and Beatrice Ball there are wonderful pieces starting under $50!  Nielsens can also add a fun gourmet dip or Casparie paper cocktail napkins to your gift- really fun!

TIP- When you sign your enclosure card- be sure it is enclosed inside the gift- not tucked under the bow!  The gracious thing to do is to make things easy for the bride.  She wants to know for sure who gave that wonderful gift from Nielsens!  So let us wrap it for you and enclose your card and deliver or mail the gift for you!  We want to make shopping easy for you too!

Mention  this wedding/Charlie the dog who is bigger than a frog and you will receive 10% off your next wedding gift/gifts purchase!  Do all your spring bridal shopping now and save time and money!  

Thank you so much for shopping at Nielsens our family business for 65 Years! Andrea

 This is a picture of the rental house where Nielsens began 11-11-1946. My parents rented it and lived in the back and sold their wedding gifts and made custom lamps and shades in the living room to start Nielsens!  Here I am years later playing in a packing box in Nielsens first location! Fun!  

Crystal Care Tips

Fine crystal stemware and fine glass stemware are so beautiful and require little care...but some care!  The difference between crystal and glass is typically that the crystal recipe contains some lead oxide and fine glassware does not.  Yet both can be crystal clear!  Waterford is fine crystal.  Moser is fine glass.   Simon Pearce is fine glass. Julia Knight is wonderful Italian glass.  All four of these fine glass choices are hand made, mouth blown. The top choices for Nielsens' brides are Waterford Lismore Essence for formal and Moser for bar ware and Julia Knight for casual elegance!  Simon Pearce will be a sure choice for many also- it is brand new at Nielsens!  The bowls, vases and pitchers are in Nielsens showroom now.  Stemware will be there soon!

TIP: Most stemware is chipped at the sink faucet.  Get a plastic sprayer that has some movement rather than a ridged metal faucet. It will be worth it to make the change!

TIP: I also prefer to wash my own crystal rather than have help from friends and relatives after the party.  If you have a ceramic sink, put a rubber mat in the bottom of the sink or use a plastic dishpan in the sink. Next time you need a new sink, consider choosing stainless steel because those have some give and will help save your stems and china!

IDEA:If you have had all clear crystal for years and want to update, consider choosing a large new wine glass for white wine and a large round bowled one for red wine.  If your pattern is in Waterford, choose either Lismore or Araglin Essence wines or Coleen Encore wines.  Another way to update your formal glassware is to add a splash of color!  Waterford has some beautiful colored champagnes and wines! You can have a different dessert like the fun raspberry Julia Knight cocktail glass!

RECIPE: For dessert just get Yoplait frozen yogurt smoothie in a bag, add milk and mix in blender and serve in these fabulous Julia Knight cocktail glasses with a spoon- it will be a hit and only takes a minute!  Yeah!

IDEA: It is really fun to buy a different pattern of each liqueor glass and display them on a lovely new Julia Knight Tray.  Your guests will be wowed by their beauty and will have fun choosing their glass to use to enjoy their after dinner drink.  The added benefit is your guests will easily recognize which glass is theirs!  Moser makes a set of liqueors - each a different pattern.  These used to be used as salesmen's samples to show stores all the different beautiful patterns available.  It is also fun to let friends and relatives know that you are accumulating different liqueor glasses- they will enjoy selecting for you for the next gift they buy for you!  Sometimes at Nielsens we will have some "one left" pattern at a special savings!

IDEA: Moser Pebbles old fashions are a great updated choice.  They come in 8 colors and just look cold and refreshing and eveyone has a different color or buy 2 of each and each couple gets their own color!  Very fun for a party!

Don't you love having friends over?  We want to help make it fun and easy!

TIP: Clean, dust free and spot free crystal is beautiful!  I like washing mine by hand and hand drying- it is really fun and worth the effort!

I plan to give tips in each of my blogs so please stay tuned!  If you have questions about crystal and china, please email me at info@NielsensGifts.com.  Please also tell me what subjects you wish for me to cover in upcoming blogs!

I appreciate you!  Need a gift?  Want something to boost your spirits?  Please visit www.NielsensGifts.com ! You will find the perfect, fun things!   Call us too!

Thank you, Andrea Nielsen

 

Market 2011 Brings New Exciting Gifts and Home Decor to Nielsens!

I cannot remember a more exciting market!  The products were fresh, the buyers in great moods and Doug was always ready with a funny quip! Doug, George and I were in easy agreement to bring many new and some contemporary new lines to you at Nielsens.

Vagabond is a new line filled with nature inspired wood and metal serving items - even a cow and pail sugar and creamer and shell and coral shaped serving spoons!  Vagabond will have the perfect gift for the person who has everything. There are great things for those with a lake, beach or mountain home!

We love the elegant simplicity of our new Simon Pearce bowls and vases.  We are thinking they will be great for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.  Simon Pearce will even engrave your special saying on the rim of a beautiful clear bowl for you!  We ordered one with XOXO all the way around!  Brides will love the Simon Pearce stemware too. This beautiful glass is made in America!

Table Art is a wonderful handmade in America art items for your table.  Napkin rings, serving spoons, and salad servers in wonderful shapes of natural leaves and flowers.  They also have a lovely dogwood frame for mom!

Faye and Annika's new Gourmet room at Nielsens will have some wonderful new baking pans that the girls love using.  God mother, Lucia had given them one that they make garden bug shaped muffins in- now they bring them to you!  There are also pans to bake heart shaped cakes for Valentine's Day! They have also added the best Vanilla in the world in big pretty bottles!  And our family loves Door County Wisconsin - so we have added Door County Gourmet coffee!  Hope you will like their great flavors too!

Wooden salad bowls will make great wedding gifts!    Our new very natural bowls handmade from reclaimed wood will also be great gifts for the man in your life!  Nambe also brings to Nielsens new salad bowls, servers and great cheese boards! My parents stared carrying Nambe in the 1950s at Nielsens, so I am so happy to have a new offering from this Native American company. Waterford has lots that is new also.  We are so glad that they are doing a new cased crystal flute with the cut of snowflakes.  You can acquire one color per year and all the snowflakes will be different each year!  This year is red and gorgeous.  You may just want 12 red ones!  We bought lots of Waterford Vases for Valentine's Day gifts and for Mother's Day.    The new black and clear John Rocha Waterford has a fabulous new ice bucket!  And we all want the individual Marquis wine carafes.  They are a fun shape and very reasonably priced.  Lismore Essence is Nielsens' bride's top pick!

Lladro has great new pieces for Mother's day .  We love the new Limited Edition Tango piece- you have to come and see it!  Lladro makes the prettiest wedding cake toppers you can find.  Nielsens has them all.  For Valentine's Day there are many romantic pieces.  I like Endless Love and the little girl holding a heart full of handmade flowers!

Oprah's favorite china tea cups are at Nielsens now- in a set of each a different color with a heart shape showing as you sip!  They are very reasonable, so give them as gifts to girl friends with a delicious package of Nielsens' Republic of Tea flavor.  It makes a great reminder that we should sit and sip and share with friends more often!

Penzo handmade African Pottery had lots to share with their art that benefits women, children and wild animals in Africa.  We purchased several one of a kind hand thrown pieces for you along with more serving pieces and fun bowls.  No two are ever alike and each is signed by the artist!   George and Annika and I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Penny Vincent  who coordinates the artists.  She is delightful and a wonderful artist in her own right.  I hope she will visit Nielsens and meet you all!  You will love and admire her too for all she does for so many!  You help too by enjoying the beautiful Penzo pottery!  What great gifts it makes - it gives in many ways!  How wonderful!

We also had the wonderful experience of visiting Tervis Tumble factory in Venice, Florida.  Tervis Tumblers keep things hot or cold, don't sweat and can be put in the dishwasher and microwave.  They are made with the utmost care and love in America by the nicest people!   It was great to see it firsthand.  Nielsens will have a design in stock that will appeal to anyone.  You will find a great gift in the new designs by Tervis!  Nielsens is happy to have a large selection for you.  We can also do corporate custom orders for you!

Herend's new Guild piece is the Penguin!  It is fun and you will really like it.  Rothschild Bird has added many serving pieces to their new Branch pattern for the 150th birthday of the Rothschild Bird pattern.  Herend continues to be a favorite china for brides and everyone.  It is all handpainted - art you can use!  

 One of Doug's accomplished goals at market was to find great gifts $50. and under.  You will love the Tuscan pot filled with a scented candle - perfect for use inside and outside.  What a perfect gift for all occasions!  He also chose fun - really funny cocktail napkins and great signs with inspiring sayings and great gift notes.  You will love all the gifts- come to Nielsens to see and let Doug and Sadie suggest the perfect gifts for all your friends!

Julia Knight has designed beautiful new trays, vases and bowls.  You will love every one!  I will purchase the green water lily platter and the pink raspberry glass bowl and the beautiful vases in 3 sizes with the bright color inside.  And the new elegant tray will be perfect on my Ottoman!  You will be tempted too!  Julia Knight makes great hearts for Valentine's Day and the Vases will be the best for Mother's  Day gifts!   We loved spending some time with Julia.  She is so creative and inspiring.  She has more wonderful things for us on the drawing board.  Nielsens looks forward to her visit again next fall!  She makes entertaining our friends fun!

Valentine's Day is almost here and Nielsens has the best gifts ever! Julia Knight hearts, Simon Pearce heart bowls, vases in all brands and shapes and sizes, Lladro, Herend, Waterford and Lalique hearts, and Nielsens even has chocolates for your love- Come and see the chocolate heart shaped dessert cups!

Nielsens will gift wrap and deliver or ship for you to make your gift giving easy!  My gift for you is mention my blog and receive 10% off any new purchase from now until Feb. 14th - mention "Andrea's Blog" in store or put "andrea" in coupon code box at our website online checkout.

Happy New Year 2011 from Nielsens!

It is fun being an elf during Christmas every year at Nielsens.  It is also fun when it is over and I can again spend time with my family.  
 
My two daughters, now 12 and 7, have been baking cookies and playing with art games and supplies given to them for Christmas.  Last year at this time they were building snowmen and today it is almost 70 degrees so we will walk and ride bikes and shoot - or try to shoot- baskets. (this is a photo from only 5 yrs ago and they have changed a lot!- I have not- ha ha) 

At Nielsens the Christmas items are on sale and Julia Knight and Waterford toasting flutes are hot items for New Year's Eve parties.  People are also buying our new dips and sea salt pita chips from our new Gourmet Room.  

Julia Knight told us of her great " idea for champaign flutes...she said "buy them in pairs"-
 Then when couples come to your home, each couple gets a matching pair of flutes for champaign.  Your collection of flutes will be beautiful and interesting when displayed and the glasses will be kept straight during your parties! The different pretty flute glasses will also make great interesting conversation starters!

Just mention this blog- "Nielsens' blog" or "Andrea's blog" for a 10% savings until Jan. 7th 2011 as a Happy New Year gift to you from me!  Idea...buy a Nielsens' gift certificate at 10% off now to use later!

I hope you will visit Nielsens in person, but if you can not, just visit with us on line at www.NielsensGifts.com.  My parents started Nielsens in 1946 and never could have imagined then that their gift shop would be selling gifts and helping people make their loved ones happy all over the world!  The internet was not even a dream then! In 1946 they lived in the back of the store and there was a hitching post in front for horses!   My dad, Art Nielsen, was the first person to sell Waterford in Oklahoma and my mom, Dorothy Verheyden Nielsen, was the first person to choose Lladro for an Oklahoma store.  Those lines are still very well represented at Nielsens!

 

In the last few years Nielsens has added many new lines like Michael Aram, Vietri, Juliska, Beatrix Ball, Julia Knight, Match pewter, Tervis tumblers, Casperi papergoods, Penzo hand painted African pottery, Kenzig hand made lamps,  gourmet foods and Jay Strongwater. We will be adding more at Market in a couple of weeks.  If there are things you wish Nielsens would carry, please let us know!  We want to make you happy!

New Year's Resolution:

Make a list of all the people that you love to buy gifts for -Include the reasons for giving: Christmas- birthday- anniversary-Valentine's Day- Mother's Day, etc.  Then buy things for them when you see them- Have Nielsens wrap and tag them.  We will even store them until time to give or send!  By shopping early in an organized way, you will avoid the last minute panic! Remember that Nielsens has layaway!  Shop now and save and you will be ready for all occasions in 2011!  

Thank you for being a Nielsens customer.  We appreciate you and consider you part of our family!  

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2011!

As Faye and Annika would say here:"Olive you!"

Sincerely, Andrea Nielsen
