I remember seeing a scraproom with every color! I was so envious! They had some recently at Tuesday Morning.

I still love them. I have 6 bottles sitting on a shelf right in front of me right now and they are all only about a quarter empty. I do use them but nowadays instead of punching cardstock or putting brads in the middle, I just squeeze a touch of Stickles into the centre. When and if I ever do use them up I'm sure I'll find something else to store in those cute little bottles.

I remember the craze but never bought any. I did buy the set of other larger flowers in the old fashioned looking jars (they had a wire shelf/stand thing that went with them) and one flower with the stamens etc up against the clear area on in the lid. I still have them

I have 3 bottles and a bag full. I never have used them. I really do not make layouts that flowers would go with.

I had quite a few (but not as many as some I know). I tipped them all into a big container too and have most of them left. I eventually got rid of the glass bottles into recycling and now regretting it because I've seen a few projects on Pinterest I could have used them for. Oh well. I will try not to let that stop me from decluttering in the future.
ETA I also had quite a few of the hydrangea in tins, I think I loved them more and I definitely use them more, still on cards and so on.

I have about a dozen. Half with flowers, other half were dumped into a large mason jar (similar flowers) and I am using those bottles for different bath salts I make that I display (and use) on my jacuzzi tub. Speaking of Prima, today is their last day of their $1 warehouse sale...they have those bottles - $1 each.

I love those things! Have about 6-7 bottles, and use them all the time. (I have 2 girls.) I did just recently take them out of the bottles and put them in Ziploc bags though, to save space in my scraproom. After 8-9 years I was finally able to part with the bottles, lol! You can still buy them, I see 'em around.

I have a few bottles and still use them occasionally. I think I use inspiration from others layouts and since I don't see them as often, I forget to grab them for layouts.

I had a few and I think I ended up giving them away. That was one of those things that I bought because of the cute packaging but I don't think I could ever have used up all of the flowers in those bottles.

I bought several and I'm still using them because they're so fast and easy to take out of the bottles! In fact, I just finished 2 layouts using the small Prima flowers and love it!!

These bottles were my first $.01 purchase at Michaels. I finally made it into the $.01 club!! I got 4 bottles. Haven't opened one bottle yet. Maybe one day!

I bought three because the stores around me were selling them out like crazy. The colors I have are perfect so I never really felt the need to get more. They're adorable and I do use the flowers from time to time.

Yes, 6 in a wooden crate that says "got flowers?" I love how there are threads "remember these?" Makes me feel old! I love prima flowers and those bottles! I wish everything was packaged like this to make my shelves pretty.

I stil have several bottles. I never use them. I should probably get rid of them, but they really look cute on my storage shelf.

I never bought the bottles, but did buy 3 or 4 little packs out of the Micheal's dollar bin when the they went on clearance. I find that I prefer to make my own flowers with my cameo, It's just easier for me to match up colors that way.

I don't know why, but I was just thinking about them and the craze surrounding them. Scrappers were collecting all the different collections of colors. People were even selling empty bottles. Due to financial constraints, I only bought two bottles ever. But oh how I envied having multiple bottles. Funny enough, I'm still working on using a handful of the tiniest paper flowers that came in one of those bottles. Them seem to multiply when I'm not looking. Did you have them? Like them? Now it seems that we have to buy flowers in small increments for more money. Yep, yep, and yep. I had several bottles (Prima and You've Got Flowers, or something like that). I've used them on various projects and still have a lot left over. When I reorganized my scraproom, I took them out of the bottles and put them in a clear paint can container with colored lid and flowers on the sides. It's pretty, holds all the flowers - and it was a bargain at WM! Now I'll have to see if I use up all the flowers.

I still love them on cards and I'm finally getting down towards the bottom of my stash. Never thought I'd see the day!

I still have two and they are over halfway full! I don't know why I don't use them. The bottles are too cute, I should use them and create something with the bottles.

I used to have a pop up shop and travel around South Australia with supplies to rural and remote locations. I sold just about all of my stock out in 2006 when I started having children, today on 1st January 2015.... I opened a box large box that had old stock in it that had been I storage for 8 years in my hubby's shed....... and there they were 6 dozen bottles of Prima got flowers in milk bottles!!! I liked them sooo much that I kept them even after I stopped travelling around :-). AND there are others too!!! Not just milk bottles. Mmm I still don't know if I can bear to sell them even now!!!

Oh do I ever...check this out... That's a layout from 2005. Prima saw it and liked it so much they borrowed it for their CHA booth...and returned it to me with...many more packs of flowers! LOL. I have to admit I don't use paper flowers much these days, not sure why not though. Maybe I could thorw them in with the sequins.

I collected several bottles in different colors. I've used many of them, but still have lots. One bottle has about half left, but most are at least 3/4 full. Still use them occasionally. I have them on top of a book case, they look so pretty.

haha, I do remember those!! I hardly ever used flowers on my pages, but I was soooo envious of people who had those huge collections of flower bottles. I sort of 'made' my own collection of flowers from craft-store fake flowers, just so I could have some to try to use, because I wanted them so bad... and I think I still have them all in a closet somewhere, loL!!
