Before I go full on temporally-inappropriate-department-store-décor with the Christmas stuff, here are some shots of Halloween in our apartment.

Cider was sipped, Hocus Pocus was watched. Now it's CHRISTMAS TIME, BABY. (The other occupant of this apartment may or may not agree with that sentiment...)
In non-Halloween news, we treated ourselves to the
Nate Berkus for Target sculpted branch lamp. It immediately reminded me of old Hollywood Regency brass wheat lamps:
I have a lamp problem, but I'm getting better. We actually needed the light from this guy so it was a functional purchase. It love it, but I think the design of the base would have benefited from a fourth "branch" in the back. With the tripod base it looks great from the front, but flat in the back if viewed from the side. Here it is in action:

With the combination of our Red Debit Cards (5% off every purchase; cannot recommend this enough) and a 5% prescription rewards coupon, the base + shade came in at under $70. The subtitle for this post (and likely the majority of posts going forward) can be "I love Target." No, I do not work for them. Just who, exactly, I should work for is the big question of the moment...
Hello, November.
