Precious Moments - Short History
More than thirty years ago, artist Sam Butcher, drew an endearing teardrop-eyed children. He named his creations Precious Moments. Those drawings are intended for his family and friends as encouragement and comfort. He simply called them Precious Moments because they spread endearing messages of love, care, and sharing.
Sam is a man with deep personal faith and conviction. Sam Butcher was encouraged by his mother to pursue a formal art training after his high school graduation. His dedication earned him a scholarship to the College of Arts & Crafts in Berkeley.
In early 1970's, Sam and Biel - a friend, started a small company that produces cards and posters, calling their company Jonathan & David. After a successful introduction of their products Enesco Corporation approached Sam. He was asked to develop a three-dimensional figurine based on his artwork titled "Love One Another". It was then the beginning of Sam and the figurine industry.
Each year new figurines are introduced and older ones are either retired or suspended.
