Meet Our Team!
Gerry Groom, Consultant
Gerry has been a vendor at NTM since the store’s opening and was our multi-talented maven of staging (including our beautiful front windows), décor, event planning, and vendor relations. We would tell you what Gerry does in her free time, but she’s always on the move! As of 2024, Gerry serves as a consultant for Blu and Nellie who trained under her wing. Her appearance around the store will be rare, but always a welcome treat.
Karen Bussell, Back Office
Karen is our payroll guru, our numbers wizard, and a prime source of crazy (or brilliant?) ideas. When not wrestling with temperamental numbers, she enjoys gardening and exploring the universes tucked between book pages. She is a rare sighting in the front of the store but is always close at hand for anyone wanting to discuss their crazy ideas!
Angela Bussell, Store Manager
Angela is the manager of all things Needful Things Market. As both a vendor and a member of our management team, Angela offers an in-depth perspective on how to best serve our customers and vendors. She loves collecting new data to improve everyone’s experience here at Needful Things Market! When Angela isn’t knee-deep in the day-to-day doings at Needful Things Market, she can be found paddling Oklahoma’s beautiful lakes in search of driftwood for her handmade wind chimes and lamps.
