Teacup Tuesday & Tiny Jars

I wanted to do a Teacup Tuesday post (my 1st one), that I could share with others who post the same :)

Yesterday at Burlington Coat Factory (of all places), I found an assortment of Davidson's brand teas and decided to give them a try.  It is USDA Organic certified, and each bag comes sealed in its own wrapper, which is always lovely for sharing in gifts.  Tonight's selection is Apricot Essence black tea.  I hardly steeped this tea at all, and it quickly darkened in color.  The taste of the black tea was quite strong, with the apricot notes arriving afterwards.  Not my favorite, but nice to try something new.

My teacup is November Chrysanthemum from the Avon Blossoms of the Month series.  I love the orange and yellow colors which work well in spring or autumn.  I found it at a yard sale for just a few dollars and couldn't pass it up.  The tray in the background is another find from Ross this week. It was only $5 or $6 :)  Woo-hoo! 

I have an affinity towards tiny jars.  I don't know why, but I do.  I spotted these at the store, and loved them, but I don't have any babies in my daycare right now.  What to do?  Why, make smoothies of course!

I added 2 soft bananas, and some ice along with the baby food, and The Littles enjoyed their treats very much.

Extra bonus, when I washed up the jars, the labels peeled right off - no extra scrubbing needed.

See  how the jars look with flowers in them.  Jane thinks they are lovely.

The other teacup featured on the right is Duchess bone china made in England.  I am not too sure of the flower shown on it, however.  Any ideas?
Update: the lovely Beth from Conversations from my house, informed me the teacup on the right features DOGWOOD flowers.  Thank you Beth!
