You may think of the desert as a harsh, dry place where no one would ever want to live -- but think again. The Desert People know. So do the animals. Both love the land, and "share the feeling of being brothers in the desert, of being desert creatures together."
Byrd Baylor's spare, poetic text and Peter Parnall's striking illustrations lime the sky, stone and sand of the desert in this haunting book.

What We Strive For
What We Strive For
Every item in our shop is selected with intention. We work with makers and brands who care about quality, craft, and community as much as we do. Our goal isn’t to chase trends, but to offer pieces that feel good to give, receive, and keep for years.
Rooted in Place
Rooted in Place
We’re inspired by the people, stories, and landscapes that make Arizona special. The products you find here come from creators who share that same appreciation and put heart into what they make. We choose pieces that celebrate connection, creativity, and a sense of home.
Curated with Care
Curated with Care
We spend time getting to know the makers behind the items we carry and choose products we believe add something meaningful—whether that’s joy, usefulness, or a spark of inspiration. We do our best to support thoughtful craftsmanship and responsible production whenever possible.
Our Commitment
Our Commitment
We aim to offer items that reflect the values behind Why I Love Where I Live: gratitude, creativity, and community care. While every maker works differently, we choose to partner with those who prioritize quality and authenticity in their craft.
