Originally a presidio on the frontier of New Spain, Tucson was a Mexican community before the arrival of Anglo settlers. Unlike most cities in California and Texas, Tucson was not initially overwhelmed by Anglo immigrants, so that even until the early 1900s Mexicans made up a majority of the town's population. Indeed, it was through the efforts of Mexican businessmen and politicians that Tucson became a commercial center of the Southwest. Los Tucsonenses celebrates the efforts of these early entrepreneurs as it traces the Mexican community's gradual loss of economic and political power. Drawing on both statistical archives and pioneer reminiscences, Thomas Sheridan has written a history of Tucson's Mexican community that is both rigorous in its factual analysis and passionate in its portrayal of historic personages.

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.
