WHO IS
THE SHADY DAME?
We are a couple who have made Lebanon our home for 20 years. Referred to as the "oddball" shop in town, we embrace that description with pride, as we wanted to bring something unique and different. A bit on the unconventional side, we feel the need for a welcoming place in town where people can just come to explore our shop, find unique items, and have a few laughs.
Our shop name is derived from a Danish Rock Band named “Volbeat”, who wrote a song about a woman named “Lola Montez”, who was a Irish countess that came to America and became famous for her “spider dance”. An eccentric woman herself, she never played by the rules and was considered "shady" for her time. We love the song so much we even named our dog after her, so it just seemed natural to name the shop after her as well.
Our world today leaves many feeling lost and at times, hopeless. Some groups of people feel better when they attend church, some that worship nature and find solace in walks, and some find peace in other avenues. We offer items to support a more “New Age/Metaphysical” point of view. We have crystals, clothing, incense, and much more. We welcome all walks of life and try to have literally something for everyone. And if we don't have what you're looking for right now, we may in a few weeks. The shop has a life of its own and is constantly changing and progressing.
