i’ve looked through some of my earliest posts, there’s probably no one more critical than me… that being said, i’ve come a long way. i’ve learned a ton, both about my camera, and myself… and really what more could you ask? i’ve been invited to some cool events (some are coming up) i’ve been contacted by people all over the world, and right here in seattle. i’m glad you find inspiration here. i’m glad you’ve visited… i hope you continue to check back. this has been an evolution, and when i needed it most, a labor of love. i love grabbing my camera and walking around our beautiful city… below- my very first post, above- the very first picture i took… here’s to another year of visually capturing all parts of seattle… i hope you have a great weekend! xoxo- n+t
from april 3rd- 1st post of needle+thread
i’ve lived in seattle for 9 years. before that, i lived an hour and half north of here, and when i came to seattle, one of my favourite places to meander was the market. even now, as a local, it never seems cliche’ to me to go there to connect to my city. i never get tired of wandering there. poking through new corners. going a little further than i went last time.
a new goal has been to document some seattle fashion. seattle is a land of individualists. people who don’t conform to the rules of other cities. it’s a joke that we wear fleeces and socks with sandals, and i won’t even argue with you, i own more fleece than i did when i lived in arizona. and my tevas are beloved, although i would sooner set fire to hair than wear them with socks. but i get it.
i want just a little bit of what my city looks like here. from the man selling produce with the wicked style, to the girls walking around in herds starting the new grunge. i love living here, and i’ve always loved people watching. this is my way to connect to where i live and be inspired.

reasons to shop the market – kim strang – pike place market

| From needle+thread |
i’m a hoarder. i’ll admit it. ok, it’s not that bad. but as it relates to female unmentionables, i DO have a problem. slips, pretty underthings, and a recent obsession… stockings. last year i did some serious damage at sock dreams. i have the warm legs to prove it. enter kim strang.
kim and i have one of those odd seattle stories of meeting each other, and then realizing we’ve lived in the same places, and know some of the same people. i call it seattle serendipity, if you live here, you’ve probably experienced it. ‘i lived in bellingham. i lived on forest. my dog used to run around and chew up frisbees…’ ‘oh you’re THAT girl. small world’.
anyway, a friend introduced us (maybe RE-introduced us), and i decided to go check out kim’s wares down in the market… Read more

there are some truly talented musicians who play in our streets. one of my favourites was a violinist who used to play right outside macy’s in the metro tunnel. i wanted to ask this girl for a close-up of her pretty accordion… they’re so interesting.

a flower and a smile – ??? – pike place market
sometimes it’s just nice to wander the market and see all there is to see… the vendors shout out to you, smile… this lovely lady (wish i could remember her name !) was wearing a beautiful necklace that a customer had made for her… and i loved that she had a flower in her hair.
