Got any weekend plans? You do now. Below, happenings for Cy Twombly fans, Brooklyn birders, Lunar New Year celebrants, and more. And for those who don’t want to stray too far from the sofa, ideas for adding a little mid-winter color to your home.

• You may already have a bird house and an insect hotel in your garden, but what about a toad house?
• Clare writes in with this wintry candle recommendation: “I was given this Italian candle at Christmas—it’s so beautiful and has just the most delicious forest-y scent.”
• Going on today: Objects for LA, a one-day sale with proceeds to benefit communities affected by the wildfires.
• For the next three Sunday mornings, Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery will be hosting “Birding in Peace” tours, before gates open to the public. “This is one of the most peaceful places in the city,” says Marie. Ticket info here.
• Surrounded by sniffling and sneezing? Try this vintage fire cider recipe from our archives to ward off colds and flus.
• Sunday, February 2: a morning making paper Japanese Anemone flowers at The Primary Essentials. Info (and how to reserve) here.
• Valentine’s Day come early.
• Is this the year of the ceramic cup? In London, the Carrel Box exhibit at Blue Mountain school features just one work: 25 cups in a walnut display box by British potter Steve Harrison.
• At Dosa40 in LA; a celebration for Lunar New Year, plus “small things for sale,” all zero-waste, “to support Pasadena Humane Society.” (To order virtually, email sales@dosainc.com.)
• Exciting news from Tortoise General Store: “Our new original furniture collection has arrived…all designed by TGS co-owner Takuhiro Shinomoto.”
• And now on view at Gagosian in NYC: paintings, a sculpture, and works on paper by Cy Twombly.
• Time for a game night?
• And if you need a little boost, might we suggest painting something yellow or adding a jolt of red?
