Happy National Pie Day!...Celebrate Everyday!

Happy National Pie Day!

Dorothy Nielsen,one of the founders of Nielsens Exclusive Gifts, was also a founding member of the International Pie Society along with Beth Leonard and Marie Cantrell in the 1950's.  They wanted to make delicious pies- why ? ... To make people happy and to celebrate every chance they had!  They enjoyed serving the pies in style wearing frilly aprons and high heels and serving on beautiful china dessert plates!  Dorothy Nielsen enjoyed finding the most beautiful china patterns made in the world to offer her Nielsens' customers.  I, Andrea Nielsen, her daughter, have carried on the tradition of finding the best for Nielsens.

Herend Signing Event Scheduled for November 8th

Nielsens Exclusive Gifts at The Plaza will host Herend artist Attila Keczer from the internationally famous Porcelain Manufactory in Herend, Hungary on Saturday, November 8th.

The 28-year old artist Attila Keczer will demonstrate several hand painting designs and techniques used by Herend since its founding. An extremely talented and versatile young artist, Mr. Keczer received the Mor Fischer College of Porcelain Making prize in 2001. He will be available to sign and personalize pieces purchased for the event, many of which are personally painted by him.

A unique collection of newly interpreted figurines will be on display at the event. The Mosaic Collection of nineteen limited edition figurines is hand painted in a "mosaic" fishnet pattern that harmoniously blends three colors originating in three different centuries: black fishnet in the 19th, butterscotch in the 20th, and chocolate in the 21st.

Other fishnet patterned figurines in unique colors such as gold on black or royal blue, lavender, orchid, platinum and turquoise will be available exclusively for purchase to those attending the event.

There will be several Herend Events leading up to the Saturday, November 8th Signing such as a Unpacking Party in September when the show pieces arrive. Don't miss...  as this will be a great opportunity to make first selections of the many unique show pieces not available in the regular Herend line.
