    I’m glad she was showcased enough to be seen- think of how many unique ones that never get ‘seen’. At least she was shared with us- what a lady!! And you have beautiful jewelry!

      Oh wow I had no idea she passed and then I am in the same city West Palm Beach! I’ve been in the hospital or rehabs since January. I have a gorgeous brooch it’s 5”-6” long flower she was photographed in its lavender and violet with perfect green leaves and I searched her top which was black and got that too! This was a beautiful video ❤

    Iris has been my favorite fashionista❣️you’ve done a beautiful job of honoring her authenticity and one of a kind style❣️I wonder what will become of her incredible Collections? I know that she had warehouses filled with her incredible collections, so carefully preserved. One day there will be a Museum in honor of her incredible one of a kind style and her long life of traveling the world collecting the most incredible pieces of wearable art the world will ever see❣️I’m sure that’s what she would have wanted ❣️❣️❣️

      Omg. I can see a whole Christie’s auction go up and if it comes true I hope to be there bidding on at least one piece of her jewels!!! I almost bought a piece that she owned at the Peabody museum in Salem Massachusetts I can kick myself for not buying it. Jackie.

I was fully captivated by every aspect of Ms. Iris Apfel, her perspective towards life and how she lived life unapologetically!! I was deeply saddened when she passed but her legacy will live on for generations upon generations!! I’m confident Iris smiles every time someone watches this beautiful tribute from you!! Please know that through this video you have inspired me to start wearing my jewelry and I’m sure that my days will be brighter. Thank you!! Next on my watch list is your brooches video!!

My advice is to take it one day at a time. Keep active. What helped me is producing videos painting and collecting jewelry and books. Making things that was productive and beautiful. It helped to know that I was creating something positive. Please keep me posted on your well being. Jackie Bronx baubles @ gmail .com
