Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Front Porch Pickins Vintage & Handmade Market gives treasure hunters, antique seekers and talented artisans a place to buy and sell handmade, unique and one-of-a-kind finds, and at Glendale’s upcoming installment, admission is completely free.

It’s all part of Front Porch Pickins’ Fan Appreciation Event, a two-day special showcase slated for Friday and Saturday, Dec. 14 and 15 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Conveniently scheduled ahead of the holidays, Front Porch Pickins provides the perfect opportunity for finding wonderful gifts amidst festive décor, but fans can also anticipate an abundance of non-holiday-themed vendors offering up custom furniture, handcrafted artwork, vintage goods and other items they can use to outfit themselves or their homes in the year ahead.

Think AZ Veggies & Blooms Nursery, which is planning an onsite, DIY terrarium bar for guests, or Along for the Ride, which creates handmade clothing for children based on the careers of their parents or loved ones. Also up for grabs at Glendale’s Front Porch Pickins event are selections from Chicken Dinner Road Vintage, which features garden and farmhouse-style furniture, potting benches and wash tubs, among other goods, and nostalgia-inspired canvas prints from Front Porch Pickins’ own line, which recently launched on online retail giant, ZuLily, and will be available through several major retailers in the months to come.

“The timing of this event, and the fact that we’re offering free admission, makes it ideal for holiday shopping, but stays true to our core of reuniting you with the good old days,” said Front Porch Pickins Founder Desiree Byrne, of Glendale’s event. “This is our way of thanking everyone who has supported us, and Arizona’s many talented artisans, since day one.”
