I'm shopping for them for the first time... and there are so many of them!

Which are your faves? Which should I get (no, don't say one of each - LOL!)

I'm not really a fan of the big ones, or the "textured" ones (the waffle textures, etc), or the polkadotted ones. But I like the just regular paper flowers that they have, the old-school ones, the originals. LOL!

I went on etsy and ordered some Primas...a girl split up her stash, you got 48 from whichever collections you chose...so I grabbed 6 different ones (and she had a sale - buy 3, get 1 free, so I got 2 extras). It was a good deal, I got like 375+ assorted flowers for about $20 including shipping. If you want to check out her store, it's http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=5394364

See, I'm opposite... I LOVE the textured ones... I have a bottle of them and think they are SO cute! BUT they are harder to use on some projects because they are more of a "funky" little flower, bright colors and uneven petals. They wouldn't be completely versatile like some of the others.

I do really like the originals called "Got Flowers" or the daisy looking ones. I'm not into the really frilly frou-frou ones either.

oh gosh, it's so hard to choose! lol I'd have to say I most often use the simple Got Flowers and then the teensy Prima Petites.

I've never used Prima flowers. Are they awesome? I have a hard time buying something online I've never seen... but I LOVE flowers and my craft stores have such a crappy selection...

I LOVE Prima flowers! Once you use them you'll use them AGAIN and AGAIN!

I got mine on ebay. I think I got about 500 for $15. It was a GREAT sort of starter package for myself to begin my collection. Now I buy them whenver I see them.

I know - that's my problem with buying online too! Unforunately, it's buy online or bust for me - not even the Michael's (that I drove over an hour to get to!!) has Prima flowers. :(
