An online store has come to life in the form of a pop-up shop on Thursday, with the event running across two days.
Teeny Tiny Interiors has opened its physical doors for the first time, welcoming customers in Mackay to browse through products on the shop floor rather than the web page.
The store is completely run by Mackay mum and interior designer Kylie Giumelli, who said her business was inspired by the birth of her first child.
âI fell in love with the world of childrenâs decor, so the products primarily sold are babies, kids and teens decor,â Mrs Giumelli said.
