They staff is passionate and knowledgeable about the makers whose work they carry, and they carry such a wide selection of unique items by local artisans, as well as by global artisans. Most of the items I have purchased at Shady Lane fall under the category of jewelry, but I have also been very pleased with their selection of offbeat, small-maker clothing and outerwear. I appreciate that I can buy holiday gifts for a wide range of family members, from babies to adults, under one roof. A typical visit for me involves spending between ten and ninety minutes poring over their collection of Trollbeads (IYKYK). Then I move on to the artisan jewelry, the crystals, and the small woodworking (think jewelry boxes). And then, when possible, I blow kisses to the little dog behind the counter! I've also been to a few of their special events over the years, including a PassionArt Designs glass bead extravaganza. PS: It's taken me years and years to finish this review because it's one of my favorite places ever!

It is so educational to take them there and they learn something new every time! Debra is so inviting and friendly. When we first went there almost 4 years ago, my son was just 3 and I was terrified when I saw all of the expensive items. I started to have a panic attack and was shocked when she comforted me and said, "Its okay, let them touch." with a calm voice and a smile on her face. I hesitantly relaxed a little. My kids have never broken anything after over 40 visits. :) They also always have a kid friendly area set up that my kids choose to spend their own money on and Debra always gives them a kid friendly discount which fills my heart each time. Sometimes they have a bracelet making section for kids. My kids now have a deep love for rocks and gems. They give them out with their Valentines that includes a card about the rock and it is a huge hit! Their classmates get so excited and walk around and ask each other which rock they got. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful establishment so close to home and one that feels like home every time we visit. Thank you Debra and Mark for providing such a wonderful establishment for our community.

I had my rings resized up 2.5 sizes and was really nervous about the integrity of the settings afterward, especially with the diamonds, but it's been about a month+ of regular wear and everything is still perfect. No loose stones, no diamonds falling out, and the resize looks good. Super happy with the craftsmanship and care put into my rings. Rodrigo was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and the people trusting him with sentimental pieces. It's hard to find people who are both skilled and trustworthy, and safe to say I won't be going anywhere else for my jewelry needs.

This piece means a lot to me--it was given to me by my sister before her wedding, and I use it to hold my husband's star number.

I included before and after photos, and honestly, I love that the repaired spot has a little character now--it tells a story. It feels even more meaningful than before.

Right when we walked in, the atmosphere felt calm, welcoming, and positive. It immediately made us feel comfortable browsing and taking our time. It looked like they may have recently opened since there were a few boxes and some unpacked items around, but it did not take away from the experience at all. If anything, it made the shop feel fresh and new. The staff were very kind and approachable. They took the time to answer our questions and explain the meanings and uses of different crystals, which was really helpful since we are still learning. It did not feel rushed or intimidating at all. We also learned that they offer aura photography, which is something I have always been curious about. The booking process is simple and can be done online, and 39 dollars for a solo session feels like a fair price. We did not try it this time, but it definitely gave us a reason to come back. The crystal selection was nice, and the prices were very reasonable, making it easy to pick up a few items without feeling like you are overspending. Overall, it was a really enjoyable visit. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone interested in crystals, tarot, or just looking for a peaceful place to explore something new. I will be coming back again soon.
