The Curvy Patina

I’ve raved about our local and have a new front porch bench, courtesy of someone who no longer needed her. I have my original ornate headboard bench but it wasn’t doing well on the porch due to the moisture and shade all day, I relocated her to the side of my yard where she has more protection. How cute is this little blue bench! Buy Nothing Project is a great way to find cute, FREE items in your area, reduce and reuse. Mother 🌎 will thank you for it!

This beauty doesn’t need a filter- I’m OBSESSING over her details. Soft, sweet, a bit sassy and strong! I’ve had a lot of interest in this gal, message me and I’m happy to go down the line

This one has been sitting in my website over a week, I wrote on the plane ride to NM for my aunts funeral. It was emotionally releasing to write, I cried, I felt, I am thankful for a platform to share ♥️❤️♥️ http://www.beingbuckingham.com/2021/07/fear.html

It’s hard to believe how much time has gone by since I last posted and the changes that have happened 🌴Our family has been through a lot and we are elated to open this new chapter of our lives.. we sold our home of 11 years and relocated to beautiful sunny California! I’m excited to get back to sharing our life and CREATING! I’ve taken a step back from the professional world and will be focused on my family, health and feeding my soul with creativity- Any guess what my first project will be?? ❤️

Remember that door I told you my neighbor was going to throw away, it’s the same weird size as my laundry room door- she’s painted and she’s in- I plan to distress it quite a bit now that it’s hung! I’m still working full time, thankfully.. but I needed to get in on the quarantine home updates 🏡

You know how everything in today’s world is sort of unsettled with so many uncertainties...well, despite the weather of the world, I’ve found so much peace, beauty and definition... Feeling, healing and growing..

My mom always told me, don’t create out of sadness, pain or anger- what you feel is what you put into your creation and give to others... I’ve also had zero desire to be creative, until recently.

Today my neighbor put this cool old door outside for free, it’s the same odd size as my laundry room door.. which I’ve been wanting to replace with an old door for 10 years... it even has a doggy door for the furbabies.

Today I picked up a brush, my heart is happy, my soul is content and it feels right-

When I chose to take a step back from my business I worried I would miss the relationships, friendships and the creativity and honestly I’ve missed all of it, so much! But what I’ve gained is much bigger.

I’ve had the opportunity to be intentional, intentional with my time, with my hands, with my words, with my children and with my energy. I’ve discovered that a lot of my posts were fun, colorful.. but also I learned that at certain points of my business I gauged my worth off clicks, likes and shares, rather than intention.

I’m learning to take my space in the universe, not ask for it, not hope for it.. but I’m owning it because I am worth it and I’ve worked my ass off to be the human I am.. I am bringing intention to every aspect of my life...intentional conversations and intentional listening have really enlightened me recently.

Have you tried intentional eating, enjoying the food that will nourish and fuel your body rather than treat it like a garbage disposal. Intentional self care, I used to think it was selfish to want to do things for myself, I now intentionally take care of myself.

I’m decluttering my home, intentionally, what’s the purpose behind keeping 34 coffee mugs anyway?

Anyway~I’m here to say, I’m here, intentionally. I’m also not a constant presence online, intentionally, because I’m learning to enjoy the little things in life ❤️
