Some people refer to Fall decorations as forgotten decorations maybe due to the quick switch-over after they take down their summer decorations, they decorate for Halloween, leaving only a couple of weeks for the Fall decorations. Although, some people can easily change their Halloween decorations by leaving the pumpkins and gourds while replacing the ghoulish items with Thanksgiving theme decorations.
My family doesn't celebrate Halloween nor we celebrate Christmas, but we do celebrate Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. So for us, we just decorate for the season-- Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter!
Actually, I've already started transforming our dining room into a Winter theme, which I hope to complete this week. However, since I love Fall so much that I had the Fall decorations up from the first day of Fall, so it's time I change it as the weather is becoming winter-like lately.
This year, I'm using hand-blown glass pumpkins in my Fall decorations. I got the trio from HomeGoods. If you want to know more about hand-blown glass pumpkins and how you can use to decorate them, read my article "Add Elegance to Your Fall Decorations with Hand-Blown Glass Pumpkins," which I wrote for Yahoo.
In addition to the hand-blown glass pumpkins, I used dessert platters/stands as part of my decorations for Fall. As I blogged in September, in January of this year my daughter and I started a charity-- JessiCakes Project. We bake and sell goodies and donate profits to our favorite charities. Since then, we have been buying cake stands and cupcake stands to hold our baked goodies. Using them to decorate helps in the storage shortage that we're experiencing recently since we started baking. I wrote "How to Decorate with Cake and Cupcake Stands" for tips and sample photos.

| These dessert platters/stands (green and orange) look great and complement the hues found on the hand-blown glass pumpkins. Both the stands and the pumpkins are from HomeGoods. |

| The blue and white vase that I use year-round was an item I got from HomeGoods in 2010. I use it with or without flowers. I added three silk flowers from HomeGoods as well. |
