It's the first week of November, so we're only a few weeks out from the first flurries of the season! (Deny it all you want -- you know we'll be seeing the white stuff fly by Thanksgiving.) So get an early jump on the awesome seasonal decorations by getting to the City Museum's Vault Room (750 North 16th Street; 314-231-2489 or www.cityuseum.org) this Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. That's when Marion Nichols, author of 100 Amazing Paper Animal Snowflakes, will be signing her new book. In the meantime, here are 11 sweet snowflakes you can get excited about making.
