When I was a little girl my Godmother, Millie, had a curio cabinet where she kept all of her treasures. I remember visiting her home and standing over this cabinet in awe of all the beautiful figurines and precious mementos that she kept there. She had an extensive Precious Moments collection and she would take each one out, one by one, and allow me to carefully dust them and admire how beautiful they were. Right around that time is probably when I fell in love with Precious Moments.
This year, I have been given the opportunity to represent Precious Moments as part of the Precious Moments Ambassador Program. I’m very excited because this means that I will now be able to start my own collection and to share all of their beautiful collectibles with all of you. Just this past holiday season, I was able to add a “Holly Cardinal” Petite Brilliant-Shaped Glass Ornament from Precious Moments to our family ornaments.
I cannot even begin to describe how lovely this ornament is as it was produced via the centuries-old process of reverse hand painting on the inside of mouth-blown glass, by artist Susan Winget and Ne’Qwa Art and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The best part is that, since it has an adjustable tasseled cord, it can be displayed on a Christmas tree or a decorative stand. I plan on putting it on display in the elegant velvet box it came in after we take down our tree this weekend.
Stay tuned this year to see my Precious Moments collection grow as I embark on my new journey as a Precious Moments Ambassador. Make sure you visit the Precious Moments website to start your own collection and take advantage of their current promotion which includes free shipping on certain limited edition items. I’m sure you’ll love and cherish each piece as much as I do!

Wow that’s amazing. Congratulations on becoming an ambassador for Precious Moments, that’s really great! Well done you. I love the ornament, the design is beautiful.
That is so cute my mom never really had any majorly collectible items when I was growing up. One of my grandmothers collected clowns which creeped me out a bit but one thing mom did have was annual ornaments from carelton cards (she worked for them) & they were pretty neat.
Congratulations on being a Precious Moments ambassador! That’s a really cute piece!
and such a great addition to your family ornaments.
I absolutely love Precious Moments! I started collecting them when my child was born almost thirty years ago. Congratulations on becoming an ambassador for them, you will build a lovely collection I am sure!
My Mom bought me a sweet one once of a little girl picking strawberries. I love Precious Moments!
What lovely memories you have with Precious Moments and how great to now be an ambassador! I love this ornament and can imagine how fabulous it was on your tree!
We didn’t have curio cabinets growing up. But my mom did have a child’s fine china tea set she kept in a display cabinet that I always wanted to play with!
First, I am a big Precious Moments fan. I decorated my daughters nursery with them! I have been to the Precious Moments museum near Joplin (Mo) too. Second my grandmother collected teacups and saucers. I have several from her collection.
Oh I love that! My aunt used to collect Precious Moments figurines and I loved looking at them every time I went over to her house!
Oh wow that ornament is beautiful! I send me sister something similar every year. A mini tradition, one day maybe I’ll have a place I can collect things.
That’s just beautiful. My grandmother loved cardinals. She had them all over her house. I ended up with her curio cabinet that holds a few of her treasures today.
Congrats on being an Precious Moments Ambassador! What an amazing company to work with. I love that ornament so much and I’m sure it looked amazing on your tree this year.
That is a gorgeous ornament! I’ve never heard of the Precious Moments collection. This is really cool. I think it’s a great idea, and to have those memories of precious moments is something you’ll always remember. Cant wait to see more of your collection as it grows!
I’ve always loved Precious Moments! I’ve been collecting a few pieces for years now. I never seen anything like the one you pictured though!
I had never heard of Precious Moments before reading your post. It is nice that you are able to be an ambassador for a product that you care so much about.
I center started up my own precious moments collection as well. My youngest daughter has big blue eyes and everyone tells me she looks like a little precious moments doll. Because of that I want to collect them for her.
I always loved Precious Moments. I used to get something from their collection each year from my aunt. She loved them more than I did!
Congratulations on rhe collab!
I was born in Doviet Ukraine and my grandmother had a box of accessories that she collected while she was young. All those vintage Soviet treasures …
Precious Moments is a go-to shop for the grandparents and other family members during the holiday days. I always can find something special I know they will love each xmas season.
I still have Precious Moments pieces from my childhood. My grandma used to have a little city with towns and people set up on her table at Christmas that I loved looking at and imagining what the people would be like.
I didn’t realize that Precious Moments made anything other than the little boy and girl I have seen for years. This ornament is beautiful though. I love the colors, so bright and bold!
I love Precious Moments! I think it’s awesome that they picked you as one of their ambassadors. I can’t wait to see more of your collection. This is just lovely!
That is absolutely beautiful! It is something I would love to have around the holidays, and I think it would make a beautiful keepsake for anyone.
This is such a cute ornament! My mom would love this. Congrats on becoming an ambassador for Precious Moments!
This is such a precious gift! Ornaments are one of our favorite gifts to give (and receive). Each year when you pull that special ornament out of the box, the memory will come flooding back to you.
How exciting dear. I’m so glad you get to be an ambassador for Precious Moments. Everything they create is darling. I love ornaments and each year we make our own.
That ornament is beautiful! I love the bright colors. How do you like being a Precious Moments ambassador?
