A new addition to this year's festivities includes the live auction of specially designed costume capes by up-and-coming Van- couver fashion designers. The capemakers include two fashion students from Capilano College, Karen Michelsen and Noreen Ostrikoff who col- laborated on a cape project. Originally from Lima, Peru, Michelsen is a second-year student in Capiiane College's textile arts program. Inspired by an ancient Peruvian garment, her cape ex- udes an opulence in pattern, tex- ture and color. Studying sucface Capilano College, Ostrikoff is currently exploring her Russian and Cossack ancestry both through her travels and through her designs. She has collected rich textiles from remote pockets of Southeast Asia and Central America. Ostrikoff is currently involved in composing a personal collection of kimonos and mult-hued robes which are ceremonial in nature. Designed by Michelsen and Ostrikoff, the cape, called Flight of Every Bird that Sleeps, reflects a Peruvian influence. Constructed of hand-dyed 100 per cent silk, a variety of techniques were used to create the bold, uneven shape of this multi-layered cape. design at Ticket information for Carnevale °91 is available by call- ing the Canadian Craft Museum at 637-8266.

One of the mistakes a househunter can make is to buy the frill in- stead of the house. All too often a family will fall in love with an eye-catching feature and buy the wrong house. This mistake happens frequently and in all price ranges. Families skip over careful consideration of the major factors because something minor has really grabbed them. The lure may be a char- ming fireplace, a glamourous lighting fixture, a garage door opener, or even a dogwood in bloom. Yielding to superficial at- tractions like these can result in your family winding up with a thoroughly unsuitable house. Bear in mind that these same alluring features can usually be added to another house at a relatively small cost, considering the amount of the overall purchase. eek e If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone us at Royal LePage, 985-8231 or 925-9486. .
