WHO IS
THE SHADY DAME?
We’ve called Lebanon home for the past 20 years, and somewhere along the way we embraced being the “oddball” shop in town.
It suits us.
We set out to create something a little different, a little unexpected, and above all welcoming. This is a place to wander, discover unique finds, and share a few laughs along the way.
If it feels a bit unconventional, you’re probably right where you belong.

Our shop name has a bit of a story behind it. It traces back to the Danish rock band Volbeat and their song about Lola Montez, an Irish countess who made her way to America and became famous for her bold and unconventional “spider dance.” She was a little rebellious, a little mysterious, and definitely ahead of her time.
We’ve always loved that spirit, and the song stuck with us so much that we even named our dog Lola. Naming the shop after her just felt like the natural next step. It felt fitting to carry on a name that represents doing things your own way. In a lot of ways, that same energy lives in our shop today.
The world these days can feel a bit overwhelming, and people look for comfort in different ways. Some find peace in nature, and others follow their own spiritual path. We lean into a more New Age and metaphysical side, with crystals, clothing, incense, and plenty of other things to explore.
We want this to be a place where anyone can come in, look around, and find something that feels right to them.
Everyone is welcome here, and we try to have a little something for all kinds of people. And if you don’t see what you’re looking for today, there’s a good chance it might be here soon. The shop is always changing and growing, and that’s part of what makes it fun.
