'This is not a book of secrets-I have no secrets. Sorry to disappoint if that's what you're looking for. I have some good stories, though. And a few ideas. This book is about living, creating, and color. Because creativity and color matter. I don't want you to dress like me or think like me-that's not the idea of this book. I want you to find the colors, confidence, and creative inspiration that reflect you. My life has been filled with love, wonder, and a very deep, incurable curiosity. This book is my treasure trove of inspiration, influences, and ideas: My source. Be brave. Find your source. What makes you happy? -Much love, Iris x' With more than 300 personal photos and adorned with beautiful, unseen fabric patterns from Iris's Old World Weaver's collection, Iris Apfel: Colorful has her incredible energy radiating from every page. Here she shares her creative work, life stories, adventures, and unwavering belief in the essential power of color and creativity on a life well lived."--

The trouble with fairy tales : a memoir / by Johnson, Plum,author.;
"Plum Johnson, author of the bestselling, award-winning memoir about her parents, They Left Us Everything, turns her gaze toward her own fascinating romantic and creative history. This witty, energetic, surprising memoir explores the fairy tale models of romantic love that a young Plum, and most girls of her generation, absorbed -- of the prince who awakens the princess with a kiss, of the pied piper who irresistibly draws his followers close to the cliff's edge, of the tragic, damaged man who needs help -- but might turn out to be a terrible Bluebeard in disguise. These models shaped her life, but creativity has been an equally powerful influence. From the plays she wrote and put on as a child, through a college-age "improv" in which she slipped into the role of personal cook for a wealthy American, to decades of painting, inventing, and ultimately her revelatory, life-changing return to her first love, writing -- creation has been a life-force through joy and pain, triumph and terrible loss. The Trouble With Fairytales rings with wisdom, elegance, and hilarity, and will serve as an affirmation for all those who desire to write, paint, garden, invent, and create, but feel that they aren't "allowed," or that it is too late. Go forth and create; it might just save your life"--
