New Products--Sports

These are new ideas from our factory here in Tucson. They are not old west like most of our items but they are made here, so I will include them on our web site. If I can get them licensed by the MLB they will sell in every baseball franchise in the USA. These are only two of the many we hope to produce.

The Saguaro Cactus of the Southwest

The state flower of Arizona is the saguaro cactus flower.

The biggest saguaros are about 200 years old. They have more than 50 arms. Saguaros can grow to over 50 feet tall, but they are not the largest in the world. There are about 50 varieties of tree-like cacti found in the desert and some of them in Mexico and South America are even taller than the saguaro.The biggest saguaros are about 200 years old.

A saguaro's arms usually begin to grow only after it is about 15 feet tall and around 75 years old.

The saguaro is found only in the Sonoran Desert, which includes about 120,000 square miles of California and Arizona. Most of Baja California and half of the state of Sonora, Mexico is also included. You won't find saguaros above an elevation of about 3,500 feet since they can't handle much frost.

Saguaro is an Indian word. The correct pronunciation is "sah-wah-ro" or "suh-wah-ro." The formal name is Carnegiea gigantea. It is named for Andrew Carnegie.

Indian Spirit Guide

This is an Indian Spirit Head metal wall decoration as seen on our web site. This one has an eagle under the wolf; can you see it ?!

Spirits have a special place in Indian culture. I have found an extensive list which is worth a look and includes the two shown here.

I had no idea how much thought has gone into these.

Artists of Tucson

Hi western lovers ! In the coming days I am going to add information on some of the many great artist's websites for our local talent. I am not sure why we have so many good ones here but we do. We even had 20 artists come to Tucson from Paris, France, in November, for 10 days. It was organized by my friend Hana Ripp, in an exchange which will send 10-20 of our's to Paris next year.
