A couple weeks ago I shared a post about a wonderful Precious Moments figurine - the ‘Be Ye As Little Children’ figurine -- that was perfect to give as an Easter gift, as well as to celebrate that someone special in life's achievement of first Communion or Confirmations.
"Precious Moments stands the test of time, with new functional and modern-day collections that fit today’s lifestyle."
In my post, I shared how Precious Moments is celebrating 40 years. Yes, you read that right -- Precious Moments has been sharing beautiful figurines and gifts for 40 years. As a collector of Precious Moments figurines, I know firsthand how cherished each and every piece I own is. Most have special memories surrounding them. If you read my post you would have seen that my mother gifted my brothers and I with Precious Moments figurines for our birthdays each year, so we have a nice collection all these years later. Eventually, I will pass down my growing collection to my girls to share with their families, but for now, I have many of them displayed on a glass shelving unit in my bedroom, to admire each and every day. And, now, my mother is gifting the girls with Precious Moments ornaments at Christmas so that when they get older and move out on their own, they will have a nice collection of holiday ornaments to fill their first Christmas tree on their own with.
When the girls look at the different ornaments, they will be reminded of their childhood, as special moments that they will hold dear to their hearts, just like I do when I look at my favorite Precious Moments figurines.
In honor of turning 40, Precious Moments has created a beautiful figurine -- The “Blooming With Friendship For 40 Years” Limited Edition 40th Anniversary figurine -- which features the classic teardrop-eyed child with her cart of fresh flowers, ready to spread the message of loving, caring and sharing.
"This figurine features a young Debbie (inspired by Precious Moments founder Samuel Butcher’s daughter) sharing forty beautiful roses from her flower cart. Meticulously crafted in bisque porcelain and individually hand-painted, this piece becomes a stand-out in any collection. A stunning anniversary or ‘thinking of you’ gift for any occasion, and a must-have for that best friend or loved one who is a collector!"
Doesn't this look darling? One of my favorite features of my Precious Moments figurines is the classic teardrop-eyed children, that this iconic brand is known for. My heart melts each and every time I look at these precious figurines, and this new piece has become an instant favorite of mine.
I can't get over all the meticulous detail in this new 40th anniversary commemorative piece. If you look closely you will see that there are 40 sculpted roses, 40 heart-shaped cobblestones, along with messages of love, caring and sharing that will inspire you and your loved ones for years to come.
This special edition 40th Anniversary figurine also comes with a commemorative coin that is attached to the base, making this a keepsake collectible treasure for new and seasoned collectors. This breathtaking figurine would also be a great gift to give your BFF for upcoming BFF day, or give as a gift for an upcoming anniversary or birthday for that someone special in your life. I was going to share this figurine with my Mom, who is also my best friend, but as soon as my girls saw the "Blooming with Friendship for 40 Years" figurine the other day, they both fell in love with it. Bella is a fan of the teardrop-eyed children like I am, and Savannah is all about dogs and cats and fell in love with the playful dog and cat who sit in front of the flower cart.
My Mom was over visiting with the girls and I and saw how much they loved the piece. She said it reminded her of the time I started to take notice of her Precious Moments collection, around there age, and how I fell in love with a flower girl figurine. This was the first figurine she let me display on my dresser in my room, to admire. From that point on, I was hooked on Precious Moments figurines and couldn't wait to add more to my collection. And, that I have as I am creeping up on 40 years of collecting and being gifted with them. :-)
My Mom told the girls that they could keep this figurine, and that they could take turns having it displayed in their rooms to admire. She told me that for Savannah's upcoming 8th birthday she will buy another "Blooming with Friendship for 40 Years" to surprise her with, so that the girls will not have to share. I know that Savannah will be so happy and surprised come her birthday. I love seeing my girls getting excited about Precious Moments figurine collecting and learning how to take care of delicate collectible gifts like these. This year's Precious Moments memory for me will be all about sharing my love for this iconic brand with my girls, as they are now at the age that they appreciate these beautiful figurines, and can start making their own memories of pieces they receive from here on out.
