Tossing and turning, creative unrest. . .

‘the simple adventures of everyday life’ is a collection of creative thoughts and ideas that have kept me up at night. Included, are Original Hand-Made Wedding Invitations, cards, photographs, poetry and short stories.

My Dad was an extremely creative man, an artist, who lost many a nights sleep because of planning and building in his head….I’ve found that I’m exactly the same way. On many occasions, as I tried in vain to fall asleep, I had to get up and write down an idea…or perhaps a line of poetry, that if I indeed eventually would drift off, I was sure to forget by morning.

I have always loved weddings! My obsession has taken me to some wonderful collections (vintage wedding photos & wedding cake toppers, and maybe a few vintage wedding gowns....but that's another story). . .and recently, to designing custom wedding invitations under the name 'CaroleKancarDesignStudio'.

child's play

twinkle, twinkle, little star. . .
jacks, jump rope, pedal car. . .
paper dolls, metal toys,
where are those little girls and boys?
somersaults, hide and seek. . .
'count to ten, and don't you peek!'
red light - green light, 'may I?' too. . .
games we played, until we grew.
innocence of times long gone. . .

those children sang a carefree song.
