Here's a sprinkling of folks who came out to my yard sale this weekend. I met so many cool individuals! More important than the money I made is the fact that I was able to get rid of some things that I don't need to be taking with me! Yeah, Those that showed up early got most of the furniture, clothes, and misc. items. By mid-day I had sold everything but still had quite a bit of fabric still left. Rather than pack up and call it a day, I continued to meet car load after cool load of really passionate "Fantinos" and Bargain hunters. I have some amazing visuals for life!
When you've finished a project with some of the fabric you bought, send me a picture! Also, send a picture to me of where you've arrange your new bargain furniture and home decor pieces....... I want to know that they went to a good home! Much Love, SANTINO

That looks like it was so fun - I love yard sales and yours looks like a good one - It must have been great for those guys to meet you and talk with you
I read on one of the boards what a nice guy you were to all (it didn't surprise me)
What is next - will you need help with the move?
Keep us posted - we miss you

Santino, the yard sale looks like it was a blast. Love the photo's. Looks like everyone had a great time. Can't wait to see what people create with your fabric.

Hey Santino -
By the time I got there on Saturday - before noon! - everything was gone!! You had some fabric scraps. I was a bit start-struck to say anything. My friend was a bit more chatty with you. Of course afterwards, I was thinking about all of the million things I could have said - or wanted to say. Anyway, I left very soon after I arrived, and spent most of my time there aerating your lawn with my kitten heels! I was sinking in your lawn.... Keep us posted with your next move!

I love the hand made Santino yard sale signs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm glad your sale was a success. It gave you the opportunity to make some money and put you in contact with people who really appreciate what you do. I'm a FANTINO for life!

The purely hypothetical, all-girl-punk-band-in-my-head is now officially called "Santino's Yardsale".
Do with this what you will.

I wish I could have gone.. but Oklahoma is just too far away!
BTW - I noticed Michael Kors has a new shoe out (browsing through a catalog while waiting for coffee this morning) and the name is *almost* "Santino"! I think it was "Santorini"

Santino! Or Mr. Rice....I'm so sorry I missed your yard sale! My friend Helena and her mom went (with the baby, whom apparently you adored - she's adorable, don't blame you) In any case, love your work on PR - and you seem like a genuinely sweet person. Of course I'm speculating, as I don't actually "know you". Keep designing from the heart!!

Santino! Or *ahem* Mr. Rice...I'm sorry I missed your yard sale (purely for selfish reasons). My friend Helena and her mom and baby girl went (they have pics, g'waaaaa you're TALL - original comment, I know) I loved your work on PR - but you had to know that it was not BR-friendly (too creative!!). Keep being true to your heart and to your fashion!

HAha, did you sell your VIEW bag? I want it if no one else bought it...
Posted by Anonymous | 11:05 AM
I am so incredibly upset that I live in damn Greencastle, Indiana. I'm far away from EVERYTHING amazing...I'm a huge bargain hunter and fan of the fabulous Mr. Rice. I would love to buy stuff from you. Or possibly, have you buy stuff from me. That would be amazing.
One day, Mr.Rice...I will find you, and I will take your picture and frame it on my wall and be like "Damn it. I met him, took his picture, and watched his show."
And my grandchildren won't understand. Ever. But that's alright, because I will.
I long for that day.
Love
