U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee, has announced The Cottage of Crawford County as her Small Business of the Week. Throughout this Congress, Ranking Member Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa’s 99 counties.
The Cottage of Crawford County is owned by mother and daughter duo Cindy and Taylor Borkowski, who have successfully turned their passion for home decor into a thriving small business. Ernst congratulated the Borkowskis for pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams and creating a positive impact in the Denison community. The Cottage recently moved to a new location and Ernst wished them continued success.
In 2020, Cindy and Taylor Borkowski purchased Your Treasure Chest home decor store in Denison and rebranded it as The Cottage. They continue to offer high-quality home decor items, as well as children, baby, seasonal, and devotional items. The Cottage has received recognition as the Best Boutique in Crawford County and has won the Innovators Award from the local Chamber and Development Council. Taylor Borkowski is also involved in the community as an organizer of Denison’s Hot Summer Nights series. The Cottage recently celebrated its fourth business anniversary.
Ranking Member Ernst will continue to recognize Iowa small businesses with her Small Business of the Week award, showcasing the diverse and innovative entrepreneurs across the state.
