Come visit Old Town Cottonwood with us.

We camp in this area every spring when leaving our winter home because there is so much to visit in the area.  A little known treasure is Old Town Cottonwood - called the "Biggest Little Town in Arizona".  It was founded in1885 and still has much of the original architecture.

We love to walk along the sidewalks of Old Town to poke in and out of the many antique shops and gift shops as well as the many restaurants and wineries.
We stopped for lunch at the Red Rooster in downtown and loved the yummy food which is all made fresh - from soup to sandwiches plus wonderful cheese platters to sample some of our favorite European cheeses.

As with all of Old Town - the signage and decorations are very funky.
First time in the RobinArt gift shop was a treat - beautiful glass creations.
These pottery facial masks reminded me of my friend Mitzi's beautiful art masks.


I found this beautiful 'Dream Catcher' made of found sea glass which I love.
One of the most colorful shops was this great metal shop that had beautiful creations for your garden - and many were painted great bold colors.
How about a birdhouse for your garden.

And of course no trip to Old Town would be complete without a little wine tasting.


The Arizona Stronghold Winery gave us these cute tasting glasses when we ordered a tasting 'flight' of white and red wines.

This winery has a beautiful label and wonderful big glasses.  The Cabs were smooth and the 'Tazi' white was a nice blend of white wines that we enjoyed.
