Goods and Goodies

It’s all good

Antiques galore and hidden treasures can be found in Historic Downtown Liberty's Main Street Goods and Goodies, 16 N. Main St.

Since the fall of 2010, the shop has been family run, sharing a variety of vintage items ranging from Victorian to mid-century modern including furniture, glass, art, vinyl records, doll house furniture, children's books, candy and candles in addition to vintage buttons, locally crafted jewelry and antique shelves, tables, displays and more.

“My family moved here when I was 11 in 1961,” said owner Gail Dugdale.

Gail has spent her life collecting vintage items such as the pocket watch her father gave her on her 21st birthday and the half tester bed she picked out with her husband years ago.

“One of my favorite items was a mini pool table,” Gail said. “It was from the Prohibition era. Gambling was illegal, so they made it to accept change.”

Her passion for antiques continued to fl ourish after marriage to Harry Dugdale. It was something they did together.

“Harry was always doing this,” Gail said. “I took breaks to have children.”

Children lead to grandchildren, and now Gail spends her days joyfully sharing the shop with her granddaughter Jordan Dugdale, who has been helping out since childhood.

“I have a Victorian bed set, and my dining set is Victorian, too,” Jordan said, fi nding Victorian to be her favorite style, much to Gail’s surprise. Main Street Goods and Goodies is a treasure trove of antique wares and sweet treats

Priding itself as a place for aff ordable antiques, the shop also is known as a candy store. Children and older generations can come with their pocket change and pick out sweets like root beer barrels from times gone by.

“We also have candy and Totally Gross Soda that kids really love,” Jordan said.

Gail also promotes friendliness to everyone walking through the door. Whether they are seeking additions for themed décor or are seeking an accent piece to add pizazz to a home or offi ce, everyone is welcome.

“Many people come in and browse,” Gail added. “We are very friendly to those people as well as our customers because you never know when they are going to become customers or who they’ll refer.”

It’s more than just business and family, Gail added. Th ey participate in community events including Wine about Winter, the summer Quilt Walk and beer crawl, October's Tea Walk and passing out candy to children on Halloween.
