LIFE LISTS
(k) Alena Hennessy’s lightweight stone bird sculptures have
sweeping, 17-inch wingspans. “They come ready to hang with an

they can suspend from the ceiling or even
from a
tree outdoors,” the artist
says. The woven cotton
pillow, also by
Alena, has a matching pattern on the
back.

POSTCARDS FROM THE HEDGE
Go ahead and say it out loud: This year I’m
actually going to weed the garden! Then treat yourself to a new journal
to keep
track of plantings and jot down ideas. We
like the
kind with
elastic closures,
so you can tuck
in seed packets,
magazine clippings,
and inspirational cards.
