Sunday Afternoon at Precious Moments

Whenever my sister who (used to) live in the US come home for vacays, she brings home with her figurines and other knick knacks of Timmy and Tammy of Precious Moments.

Precious Moments is founded by Sam Butcher sometime in the late 90’s. From what I remember of his story, it was inspired by his children particularly Tim who passed away late last year. Sigh. Anyway, his memory and his father’s love lives on as you browse through the Precious Moments gallery, both in Manila and Kalibo. The Kalibo property is named Sampaguita Gardens.

I had the privilege of having visited both a couple of times. And every time I come for a visit especially the one here in Manila, we’re always welcomed with a big smile and a hearty greeting. It’s no surprise that, as my sister puts it, it’s her happy place…and it’s starting to be mine (and the ‘lil girl’s) as well 🙂

They have so many new collections that will definitely catch anyone’s fancy – collectors or not.

Guardian Angel collection

Disney collection – can you see Monsters Inc?

Winnie the Pooh collection…so nice noh?

Disney/ Pixar collection…Buzz looks so dashing!

And our favorite – Disney Princess collection (we’re just waiting for Jasmine)

What’s really amazing is that the figurines, dolls etc are just out in the open or in glass cabinets making them very accessible to everyone. But mind you, not once gets lost or stolen. It’s really a heaven-like place where you’ll feel ashamed to step out of line, but still feels homey and comfortable.

Here are some more –

They also have paintings for sale. We actually got “The Nativity” 2 years go and had it installed in our living room. I just can’t find a photo of it now, will just post that in IG 🙂

But here are some of my new faves –

I think this will look good in the foyer

Maybe in the play area…or bedroom?

I apologize for photo-blogging but I just can’t help myself – everything’s so Pinterest-worthy!
