Shop on Fay to close its doors after nine years Gifts and Gatherings, the gift and tableware retail store located at 7556 Fay Ave., will be closing its doors in February after serving the community for the last nine years. Owner Ivett Wesselenyi, who opened the store’s original location on Wall Street in 2001, said she began building another side of the business — event planning — a few years ago. As demand for her services grew, Wesselenyi found herself juggling her time between the store and her clients’ decorating needs. When she saw that her lease would expire at the end of December, she said she decided to make the leap into event planning full time. “Now I can make time for the fun stuff, doing the planning and decorating,” she said. Wesselenyi has designed tables for mansions, yachts and jets of clients visiting La Jolla, and she has donated her time for many years for local fundraisers including the Mainly Mozart Gala, the RITZ Committee and most recently, the Girl Scout’s Feelin’ Groovy Party and the Salk Institute’s Symphony at Salk. She also decorated Liza Minelli’s green room.
