Waito for Me

Coe & Waito Home Accessories

Oh, winter. Not only will you bring holiday lbs. and unwanted relatives, but you’ll rob us of our sun-kissed tushes.

Which is why we’ve decided that this year we’re hibernating till spring.

Not that we’ll mind, given how lovely our home is, what with all the pretty porcelain Coe & Waito’s accessories filling it. Whether purely decorative (austere, Frostian pinecones and acorns) or highly functional (black silhouette-stenciled bowls and bottles), the nature-inspired pieces make outdoor ventures seem unnecessary.

Flowers in glazed cylinder vases brighten gloomy days. Soup is fun again with a slip-cast spoon. And the hand-carved owl lamp inspires twilight leanings.

Of course, once the weather turns warm again, we may not leave our tabletop toys behind.

We’ll call it Coe dependence.
