The Junk Drawer: Yesteryear’s treasures find a new market

Teresa Owens, former City Clerk of Andersonville, has started an exciting new chapter in her life as the owner of The Junk Drawer. The store sports a variety of rustic antiques that harken back to the aesthetics of many customers’ childhoods. Owens gave her inspiration for opening the store. “I’ve always loved older stuff. I remember going through all my grandma’s stuff whenever I was little and playing with her stuff.” Owens has pieces for her grandmother that she would not trade for anything modern. She appreciates the quality of the older pieces. “They’re gonna last. There’s things here that are older than you or I, and they’ll be here when our grandchildren are gone.” She believes the history of the antiques makes them more intriguing. “Everything in here has a story. . .it’s been a part of a home, part of a business, and I think it deserves a chance to be a part of another home or business.” The Junk Drawer is located at 201 Prison Walk/East Church Street in Andersonville.
