Yesterday, I dropped my kid at a movie & stopped by a thrift store to scope out what would be 50% off today. Really just a speed run to determine if I needed to wake up early for their opening.

Welp, I found this. WTF is this & why is it in a thrift store?!! Even worse, earlier this week we made the decision to move across the country so I've told myself no more furniture purchases. Furthermore, there was another thriftie who had just scored a dresser he was excited about & he was egging me on to buy it.

So, now it's in my garage 🤦🏼

I was doing a speed walk through the bric-a-brac aisles & found these 2.

The Fiesta candle holder is covered in wax. I've scraped the bigger glops off gently but there's an overall sticky coating of wax. What would be a safe way to remove the wax w/out damaging it?

Then, of course, they taped the fairy lamp up right over the top of the painting. Are there any tricks to getting the tape off w/out pulling any of the design off?
