In December of 2019, we launched a watercolor map of Downtown Gilbert and I dreamed of creating another with the incomparable Danae Blackburn. Yesterday, we launched a Scottsdale map and oh my goodness, look how dreamy!

You’ll see Earl’s Market, The Mission, Cavalliere’s Blacksmith shop, The Cowboy sign, Frontier Town, The Sugar Bowl, Scottsdale’s first Post Office, The Little Red School House, and Camelback Mountain. You’ll also notice little details we added like the iconic street lamps, The Yearlings sculpture, and the fountain outside of Grimaldi’s.

Each print also comes with an insert that gives a little history on each icon. For example, did you know The Sugar Bowl opened on Christmas Eve? Or that The Mission used over 14,000 adobe bricks that were created by hand right on site?

Get yours either on our Etsy or our website! We hope it finds a beautiful space on your walls!
