I am in love with the softer side of Eddie Vedder.
His newest solo album Ukulele Songs that was released in May of 2011 is full of unique tracks that are a treasure to find. He lets you escape to a place where you can literally feel his soul. He brings a melancholy vibe to usually upbeat instrument and creates a wonderfully juxtaposition between his somewhat sad lyrics and the lovely twang of the ukulele. ...

Amoeba Music
The last time I was at Amoeba Music was when I went to LA with one of my best friends for a concert. I cannot even remember the band we were going to see, but the tickets we had were free from her sister and it turns out she gave us the wrong night. So we ended up at Amoeba and I loved it!
I found myself there again this past weekend, lead by my sister (who now lives in LA) and Jimi, and I was ecstatic! ...

It's A Dog's Life
White Wolf in his Element (Photo by Maddie Dierkes)
I have always loved the idea of a dog beach, because hey why not! As long as people treat it with respect, then why not share one of your favorite places, the beach and the ocean, with your favorite four legged friend. I bet it is, or will be, one of their favorite places as well.
We got to take our dog, Ozzie, to the Huntington Dog Beach this past weekend, with my parents...
My Jewelry Designs
Original Handmade Jewelry by Maddie Dierkes
I am featuring some of my signature jewelry designs on here today, as I am in the beginning stages of setting up my design business that includes my jewelry design and my graphic design. I am hoping by the end of the year I will have some jewelry workshop set up, and I will be able to sell my designs on Etsy! This is hard to focus on at times, since I already work full time as an in-house...
Cat Life
We are Siamese, If you Please by Maddie Dierkes
What is it to live the life of a cat?
There has been a diary entry circling around Facebook, I am sure some of you have seen it. If not, check out the link below.
The basic cat vs. dog story, and the cat diary starts out with "Day 983 of my captivity..." Enough said.

Pure classic, goodness right there.

Conversation Pieces!

One of my new favorite shops to browse and occasionally buy from, when I can, is Conversation Pieces! Conversation Pieces consists of Audrey and her two pups, Angel and Sugar. This shop is refreshing, simple, clean and all about classic, fun style! Not only is her shop refreshing, but so is her customer service, it is fast and comes with a newsletter that greets you with "Hello Gorgeous!" and fun,...
Lake Arrowhead for the Weekend!
Saturday afternoon, Jimi and I embarked on yet another road trip (one of our favorite things). We set out for Lake Arrowhead to meet up with our friends and roommates for a birthday weekend in the mountains!
The thing I probably love most about Southern California is the fact that in a matter of about 2 hours, you can go from being on the water at the beach to being in the mountains surrounded by snow piles and fog! <3
