Oookay tumblr I’m going to need you to weigh in. My fiancé found this little beaut at a thrift shop last summer and took it home for five dollars. I just listened to him explain in great detail his dreams of one day passing it on to our eldest child on his or her 18th birthday.
“We should probably name the lamp Quilliam Shakespeare,” he said just now. “That’s what I was going to name my hedgehog, but I’ll probably never have a hedgehog. You can’t let a name like that go to waste.”
When I laughed at his dream of passing the lamp through the generations of our family he told me to ask tumblr. He said that you would back him up, tell me what a fool I am.
“This is the best lamp you will ever have. Ever.” -the man I am about to marry
