I'm glad I made the choice to go a day early because I came away with some fabulous finds. The little stuff is still in the bag but the big stuff, oh my. I took a picture of the find of the day and tweeted/facebooked it yesterday asking for quick advice. {Have a twitter handle? I'd love to follow you...leave it in the comment form if you wish!}
"Should I buy it?" The overwhelming response?
"Yes!"
And I'm not the girl to disappoint.
This baby came home with me and is hanging out with us until I can find a home for her. The fabric is the prettiest kelly green and it is in tip top shape. I just couldn't leave it sitting at the Salvation Army all alone. She wanted to come home with me. You understand, right? : )
This weekend our agenda consists of a little thrifting, a possible trip to the movies, some more furniture makeovers for the WWSS, clothing shopping for another Great Day St. Louis appearance on Monday, and a much needed girls outing to the Botanical Gardens for the Orchid Show + a yummy lunch. Busy, busy!
Thank heavens for three day weekends!

P.S. I'm trying to talk my sister in law into this piece. It wants to be rescued from the Salvation Army, too. ; )

Soooo - how much did it cost? It's gorgeous!
Seriously drooling over the desk and camel back sofa. I'm dying to know what you paid for it. And how much that desk is?
i love your new couch, what a great find! and yes, your sister in law should get that vanity/desk...so cute.
OH WOW! I can't believe something that gorgeous was living in the Salvation Army! What a good soul you are saving it. I wouldn't have thought twice and definitely would have brought it home with me to replace our current couch... it's GORGEOUS!
Oh green! I'm not sure why but I'm currently loving all things green! :) I wish our thrift stores had better stuff! They are all full of junk :(
Those are some great finds! I especially love that Kelly green couch--gorgeous :)
What an awesome find! Can't wait to see where it ends up!
The couch is perfect. The shape is awesome and I actually like the colour.
Great find!
That couch is gorgeous! I don't think I would have even thought about not purchasing it!
That sofa is AMAZING! Does it even need re-upholstering? What a find. And please talk your SIL into saving that vanity, definitely a diamond in the rough.

Firstly, that couch is superduperawesomelyrad and amazing!
Secondly, you always find the best shit. If you decide to start doing in-home decor tweaks I may have to hire you!
Great finds Joi, I cant believe that sofa is in such great shape.
I can not believe that was at the SA! Amazing! They must have you on speed dial to clue you in. ;)
What an awesome find! You'll have to let us know how much it set you back, being the SA and all. And that desk/vanity needs to be rescued for sure, it would be so beautiful after a coat of glossy paint.
Love, love, love, love that couch!
I just hit up my local Salvation Army and outlet (yes, there is an outlet...amazing!) this afternoon. Couldn't think of a better way to spend an afternoon off!
I didn't find anything near as lovely as that couch but I'll post my finds next week!
what? i love that green lovely! what a find!
Brilliant! When you say "find a new home" do you mean find a new home *in* your home? Because if you don't keep that baby, I'll be very disappointed. (Smile.) - Camille
Love the desk and the couch!! Wish I had this kinda luck when I go thrifting!
So pretty! Are you going to keep the green or have it reupholstered?
Sounds like you have a jam-packed weekend. Have fun!

I adore it!! The shape is amazing - would love to find a love seat size one of my babies nursery
Great looking pieces. I've just been doing windowing thrifting lately I have so much stuff. Happy weekend to you.
How about my home? ;-) Really love that sofa - the shape and the color.
The sofa is amazing! I LOVE the lines ~ who in the world would get rid of that??
And how much is the desk? If it's less than $20 she should definitely go for it!
Hope you have a fabulous week! :)
Green is certainly the it color! Imagine the possibilities of
accent pillows!

Which Salvation Army is that white desk at??? I'm in desperate need of a desk for my family room.
I am beyond jealous! We need a new sofa so bad. I always think I can find one on Craigslist and always forget Salvation Army. I am back on the hunt!
