Our sources say, 2 of the Princess Di crystal-encrusted Beanie Babies edition were up for sale at Nordstrom's in NYC. We're told 2 of Nordie's VIP clients quickly snatched them up. The sale comes just a week after we reported Kylie Jenner also dropped a cool $12k for a similar Beanie Baby.

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie saw the super-rare Ireland Beanie Baby at Justin and Hailey Bieber's Paddle 8 auction. Kylie's new bear and the Princess Di bears are the work of Los Angeles-based artist Dan Life.

We're told the Princess Diana Beanie Babies sold at Nordstrom's within 24 hours of TMZ posting Kylie's story. Suffice it to say ... the Beanie Babies craze is NOT dead. At least not when it comes to Dan's work.

For those bummed out on missing out on Nordstrom's special sale shouldn't fret ... Dan's selling 2 more of the Princess Di beanie babies to any buyer who contacts him through his website. Got Venmo?

Anyway ... pretty cool time to remind you of the great work done by the Princess Diana Beanie Babies craze of the 90s. They retailed for around $7 ... and proceeds went to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. Production of the Diana Beanie Babies ended in 1999 ... but when it was all said and done, nearly $22m was raised for Diana's memorial fund.
