Well I know it's been a bit Melbourne Melbourne Melbourne around here recently, but as it happens, today we have another little Melbourne retail story! Sorry dudes, I can't help it if a cute new shop opens in Melbourne every 5 minutes! (Sydney-siders, I am open to submissions, please keep me in the loop!) Mynd Interiors is a sweet new home and lifestyle store in the bayside suburb of Mentone, which opened just 6 weeks ago. After many years working in fashion, proprietor Sarah Shannon was ready for a change, and took a leap of faith, following her dream of opening her own homewares store in October this year. The shop is a bright white contemporary space, full to the brim with vivid pattern and COLOUR! Sarah is a great supporter of emerging local creatives, and stocks work by many of the designers we've covered here on TDF this year, including Lumiere Art & Co, Curio & Curio, The Family Love Tree and more. Just another friendly reason to shop local this Christmas...! Mynd Interiors (no website yet!) 82 Balcombe Road Mentone Victoria 3194 Opening Hours Monday to Friday 10.00am – 5.00pm Saturday 9.00am – 5.00pm Sunday 10.00am – 3.00pm
