Get To Know The Hornets Nest
about us
Our Story
We believe shopping should feel like a little adventure. That’s why the Hornets Nest is more than a boutique...it’s a hive of discovery!
Every rack and shelf is filled with curated finds: big-name brands you love, local treasures you can’t find anywhere else, and gifts that make every occasion feel special.

Meet Traci
Traci didn’t grow up in Louise, but every holiday brought her back, and it always felt like home. Her mom was a drum major (you’ll spot that letterman patch in the logo!), and her dad played football here. Fun Fact: You can even flip through their old yearbook at the counter and see if you recognize a familiar face.
Now, just around the corner from her mom’s childhood home, Traci has rooted herself in the community she’s always loved. What started as selling homemade dog treats at The Co's, turned into something bigger — The Hornets Nest, a boutique built on small-town pride, connection, and good conversation. For Traci, this isn’t just a store — it’s a way to keep the spirit of Louise buzzing.
Local Love ♡ Meet Our Vendors & Makers
There’s something special about discovering pieces that feel like a unique farmers market find — made with heart, created close to home, and full of personality. At The Hornets Nest, we’re proud to have a whole section dedicated to local vendors and makers who bring that same charm into the shop.
Every item tells a story and supports the people who make our community shine.
This month, we’re spotlighting Debbie Roome of DMAStitches — stay tuned to learn more about Debbie and her beautiful handmade work soon!
