Blue is a color that fascinates globally, yet true blue is rare in nature. Most blue hues in nature result from light manipulation rather than pigments, as seen in blue jays whose feathers create the illusion of blue through light distortion. Explore the mysteries of this captivating color, traveling from Kyoto, where scientists are working on a blue rose, to Brandenburg, where efforts are underway to save the "little blue macaw." Your journey spans from deep underground where blue crystals form to the view of Earth from space, uncovering the stories behind the elusive and enchanting color. This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.

How it all started

Born from a search for belonging. Grown through gratitude and community.

Our values

What began as a gratitude practice now guides everything we choose to carry.

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

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

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

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.
