If you haven't noticed by now then you haven't been paying attention... Buca has a bit of a "logo" to her name if you will. I have a somewhat of a love affair with silhouettes of pigeons. It's my brother, Art Vandelay's fault. He started a Pigeon Club in college and since all things that older brothers do are cool, I latched on to the trend. I love it, I think he hates that I'm such a copy cat. Whatever.
So since day one, Buca's short sign symbol has been the little bird... you know, the one at the top of all my posts and plastered all over this blog. Don't you freaking love it?
When I saw this little ditty on babysteals last week I just had to have a set.
Wouldn't you know it, I placed my order on Tuesday afternoon and by golly the thing showed up on my door the very next morning! Now that's the kind of service an impatient woman like me expects! Yesss!
These birds are "made through a program called PEACE, a grassroots cooperative of women from semi-rural, economically disadvantaged areas in Mexico." They are made of mostly recycled products and the income is used to help "lift families from a life of poverty and gives them the hope and freedom to fly."

Layla and I are loving ours hanging just above her polka dot chair in her reading corner... now go get yourself some PEACE

put a bird on it!
Well, I am slow; I don't get your brother's comment on this blog; what else is new? Had a little giggle when I read your type-o, saying that this project is to lift families from a life of "perverty"- pretty sure they are not perverts. Couldn't resist saying that. Actually I think it is a fabulous cause and will check out the web page. Thanks for sharing.
birds! Have you seen Portlandia's put a bird on it? That was the first thing I thought of when I was reading this. I love the Buca has a logo! Like Prince, only cuter.
