NEW VENDOR + A VERY SPECIAL EC TEAM INTRODUCTION
This one feels a little different to announce, because Mikki didn’t exactly come into The Elevated Collective as a vendor.
She came into our lives when we really needed her. ❤️
When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, there were some genuinely hard days behind the scenes at The EC. Days when keeping everything moving felt like a lot.
Mikki started showing up.
At first, it was simply helping us get through those really hard days. Then it became more days. More projects. More “Hey Mikki, can you help me with this?” 😂 And somewhere along the way, she became one of those people we couldn’t quite remember how we ever did this without.
Today, Mikki is officially a full-time member of The Elevated Collective team. 🥹
And NOW, we get to introduce another side of her…
🌿✨ COTTAGEHORE ART✨🌿
Yes. You read that correctly. 😂
Mikki has always had this wonderfully whimsical, funky, slightly unexpected creative style. Think mushrooms, flowers, woodland things, vintage treasures, a little weirdness, and anything that feels like it belongs in an enchanted cottage somewhere.
One day we were trying to figure out what exactly to call her style and what her business should be named.
I was TRYING to say…
“It’s very cottagecore.”
What actually came out of my mouth was…
“It’s very Cottage Whore”
We absolutely lost it. 😂
And the more we laughed about it, the more we realized… wait.
That’s it. That’s the name.
Because if you know Mikki, you know it somehow makes perfect sense. 😂 Whimsical, funky, playful, creative, and never taking itself too seriously.
So not only are we incredibly lucky to have her as part of the team every day, we now get to officially welcome Cottagehore as one of the artists of The Elevated Collective.
Watching you now carve out your own little creative corner of this place feels pretty dang special. ❤️
So everyone please help us officially welcome Mikki + Cottagehore to The Elevated Collective!
