Mike's Custom Creations

11/05/2024

Mike’s Custom Creations physical store is closing. I will continue hosting, and going to, craft shows, and will be selling online at www.mikescustomcreations.net.

I have many shelf units and display cabinets in the store and don’t need them all at home, so if you are looking for shelves or cabinets, come see what’s there and make an offer on any you are interested in. I will be in the store Tuesday November 5 from 11 to 4, and if there are any left after that, I’ll be back there Friday.

The store is located in the little mall at 23 Beckwith Street North in Smiths Falls, beside TD Canada Trust.

Custom wood products made just for you. Buy what I have, a variation of anything I have, or have anything you want made.

Come check out the store for unique gift ideas, or things for yourself, including personalized items. There’s not a lot in the store, but it is things you won’t find elsewhere, and I’m adding new products almost daily.
Pictures to follow…

Mike’s Custom Creations, store located in Rideau Heartland Centre, is looking for 3 or 4 young, and older, volunteers to have fun with painting.

I do a variety of things. I started with woodworking, added resin, then laser engraving, and electronics. One thing I’m selling is plaques with whatever you want laser engraved onto them. Buy them that way, and leave them as is, or let someone have fun colouring them with paint, pencil crayons or crayons.

My teen daughter painted this one for me for display. I would like 2 or 3 more display samples, from different ages and different colouring methods. I want to get one done with crayons by a young child, age around 3-6, to show that even little kids can have fun. I also want to get one done with pencil crayons and one with paint by an older child, age 7-13, and if an adult wants to do one with paint, that would be great.

What does your child, or you get? You tell me what he or she, or you, wants a picture of to paint or colour. I will burn 3 plaques with that picture. One is left as is, one is coloured by the volunteer to display, and the volunteer keeps the 3rd one. The colouring will be done in my store at a scheduled time, with a parent present. Once it’s coloured, colour the other one and take it home, or take it home and colour it later.

If interested, pm me and we will discuss details and schedule the time to colour. I will update this post when I have enough volunteers.

Mike’s Custom Creations store opens June 4 @ 23 Beckwith St N, Smiths Falls, in the Rideau Heartland Centre.

The store won’t have a lot of products at first, but there will be my products, and products from other local artisans, and the selection will be growing.

It’s official. Lease agreement signed. Mike’s Custom Creations is opening a new store in Smiths Falls.

Store will be in the Rideau Heartland Centre at 23 Beckwith Street North, Unit 214, Smiths Falls, ON, on the main floor at the back right.

Store hours will be Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 5pm, and the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month, and will be open for shopping on June 4.

I will be opening a week or two earlier for my workshops. Children or adults can have fun making various things, with levels of complexity ranging from some power tool usage to just painting. There will be workshops working with wood, having fun with electronics, and even learning to work with epoxy resin. The workshops will be held in small groups at my store, or can be done privately at my store, privately at your home, or you can buy the kits to do yourself. Details will be on my website, www.mikescustomcreations.net, in the next few days.

Floor or shelf space is available for other crafters to sell their products. Contact me for details.

I decided to do monthly craft shows for 2025. It’s early, but to be consistent, reservations need to be made early.

The Royal Canadian Legion branch 95 hall in Smiths Falls is now booked for the first Saturday of every month except January, being too close to Christmas, and for that Sunday every 2nd month, in February, April, June, August, October, and December.

Here are the official craft show dates for 2025:
Saturday and Sunday, February 1 and 2
Saturday March 1
Saturday and Sunday, April 5 and 6
Saturday May 3
Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8
Saturday July 5
Saturday and Sunday, August 2 and 3
Saturday September 6
Saturday and Sunday, October 4 and 5
Saturday November 1
Saturday and Sunday, December 6 and 7

February, March and December will be indoor only. All others will be indoor and outdoor.

Also, the 1 day events, March, May, July, September, and November, will be crafters/artisans only. Resellers or MLMs can sign up for Saturday, Sunday, or both, for the 2 day events.

I will be advertising the monthly events in my store, as well as the usual methods.

I will be making an online sign up form for next year later on. For now, anyone who wants to sign up can just let me know, preferably by email at [email protected].

Prices will be:

Any 1 day, Saturday or Sunday on any of those dates, $30 for 1 table inside or 12’x12’ space outside, or $50 for 2 tables inside.

Any 2-5 days selected at the same time, 10% off.

Any 6 or more days selected at the same time, 20% off.

Sign up for all 17 days at once, get 30% off. That’s all 17 days, 1 table or outside, for $357, or 2 tables for every day for $595.

Because it’s so far ahead of time, deposits will only be $5 per table or outside space per day. Balances will be due 1 month before each show.
