Copy of an old color print: a woman in a dark velvet dress with a lace collar and pearls laughs up at a bearded man in a plaid jacket, who has his arms around her and around a smiling boy in a navy suit and tie. Pine boughs and string lights fill the corner behind them.

Jo & Robbie 1980s, By a wreathed door in winter An old winter print of Mom and Robbie in a puffy white-and-navy jacket, standing by a pale green front door hung with a big wreath of greenery, apples, pinecones and dried berries. The sun is bright and they're both bundled up and smiling.
