"Thinking Crowns" ~ ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Style - In HONOR OF THE ROYAL WEDDING!!!

With the "Royal Wedding" just days away ~ I've been drawn to C*R*O*W*N*S!!!  I recently picked up some wonderfully "Jeanne d' Arc Style" Vintage Bottles that I'd like to share with YOU!!!

 Sooooo Inspired by Jeanne d' Arc Living!*!*!

If you've never seen this magazine ~ it's more like a very special book!!!  Hop on over to Urban Farmhouse's Blog to order your monthly copy...  Well Worth the Expense - FOR SURE!!!

 The Crown Top on this vintage bottle has "The BeSt PaTina"!!!

 The large crown on the front of the bottle is just lovely...

 This smaller-sized bottle was actually used for HOLY WATER!!!  One side has a crown/cross embossed on it...

The opposite side is well embossed with the words:  HOLY WATER...  I also love it's crown top stopper!!!  I adorned the blue civil-war flash in the background with a FiNd From Texas ~ Jewel-Adorned, Crown Necklace...
