As I've mentioned about a hundred times I live on Montana Avenue which is right down the street from St. Vincent's Thrift Store.

This Saturday I went on my weekly troll of the Magic City's thrift stores. For the first time in ages I didn't find anything worthy of spending money on BUT I did find a cool Mid-Century Modern petit desk at the Montana Rescue Mission Store on 24th just south of Grand Avenue...

I have made a big deal about some of the great finds to be had at thrift stores in Billings. Last Friday I wandered in to the St. Vincent De Paul thrift store on the corner of Montana and 27th during my lunch hour. I did so because I knew I'd be out of town over the weekend and didn't want to miss anything cool...

Since I live in one of Downtown Billings newly renovated loft buildings designed by High Plains Architects (that reminds me, I have to pay my rent today... oops) I'm always on the lookout for mid-century modern pieces that will look cool in my place...
