Hey everyone! In case you’ve somehow missed it, it’s BURRITO WEEK! 7 days of $9 burritos at 34 restaurants all over town. Sunday is the middle of the week when it comes to our Thursday through Wednesday week time frame. So if you haven’t gotten out there to enjoy one or some, you’ve still got time! And if you’ve already tried a new favorite, there’s no shame in going back for seconds. My El Zarape breakfast burrito is calling my name again.

And where to put all those burritos? Apparently tiny tables are all the rage. Designers are calling them “pieces of art,” “some of the most versatile pieces,” and “the punctuation mark in any room.” Call ‘em cocktail tables if you like, but they’ll also hold your burrito, and much more. Michael Edward Moriano, of design studio Evan Edward says, “They also add dimension and provide a perfect landing place for flowers, candles, and other small accents.” I think he’s hinting at burritos! With prices ranging from under $37 at Target to a marvelous Joon Loloi at $600, there’s got to be a tiny table — or two — calling your name.

We love seeing what our realtor friends are doing when they’re not working. Kevin and Lesley Hall are taking a well-deserved vacation in Greece. Kevin sent me this postcard-like view and message: “Greetings from Greece! Lesley and I have been in Santorini for the past week! Thought we’d send you a couple pix as the architectural style here is so beautiful and uniquely different.” I was last in Santorini in the mid-80’s, and I’m glad to see that the iconic white, cube-shaped buildings and the charming blue-domed churches clinging to the cliffs look the same as they did way back then. Enjoy every minute, you two. Vacationing in Greece might be the only good reason to skip Burrito Week!
