Fans of Front Porch Pickins Vintage & Handmade Market know it’s the top spot in the Valley to secure vintage, handmade and one-of-a-kind finds, and the market event this week offers two extra draws: a vintage and classic car show and a chance to support or go home with a new four-legged friend.
Set for 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 17 and 18 at the racetrack located at 1501 W Bell Road, Phoenix, Front Porch Pickins presents the perfect opportunity to get a little holiday shopping done while supporting some tremendously talented local artisans and worthy organizations in the process. Attendees can anticipate more than 100 unique vendors onsite offering up a unique blend of clothing, furniture, accessories, home décor and more, and many area food trucks have also signed on for the occasion. 
For the first time, #LOVEPUP, an organization that seeks to find forever homes for pooches who’ve been abused or abandoned, will also be a part of the festivities, and Maricopa County Animal Care & Control will also be onsite with adoptable dogs. Guests are welcome to bring leashed pets, and pooches can pose for photos with pinup models in exchange for their owners making #LOVEPUP donations.
As far as shopping opportunities, think Grasshopper Hill Design, which creates custom, cartoon-like vintage graphics, and Triple Arrow Creations, a purveyor of trendy, urban-chic handcrafted clothing for children. Also sharing their wares will be Papi’s Illuminations, which makes one-of-a-kind vintage light fixtures from farming equipment, among other offerings, and Devoted to Junk, which deals restyled and reclaimed furniture and vintage home décor. 
Tickets are $10 apiece and include entry into the market as well as the car show, and anyone who enters the promo code “LOVEPUP” when purchasing tickets will have $5 of their purchase donated directly to the #LOVEPUP Foundation. Children 12 and under may enter the event for free.
