"I first met Fiona at a local networking event for business owners, and her willingness to share ideas with me reflected her generous personality. I'm still surprised at how much that short meeting has shifted my business. One of the many gifts Fiona possesses as a consultant is her confidence, which provides assurance that her advice is going to work! Immediately, I was motivated to dive right in and implement all of her ideas, and I've already noticed results in the form of revenue. I will continue to seek advice from Fiona, because her business approach is invaluable for any entrepreneur who wishes to be successful."

"I had one short conversation with Fiona and in the time we chatted she helped me gain more clarity than I had from anyone else over the last year. Talking to Fiona was like talking to that one friend that will tell you the honest truth about anything you ask. I look forward to speaking to Fiona more."

"This lady knows her stuff! I have sought out Fiona's advice on numerous occasions in the past because it was obvious to me, as a follower of her work, how successful she had been in building a thriving business of her own. When I got word of her new consulting services, I was first in line to book a session. I left my first consulting session with concrete answers to my most pressing questions, ideas for how to move forward and some valuable insights into areas of my business that I didn't even realize needed attention. I definitely see more sessions in our future. Thanks Fiona!"

She gave me better insight in a few conversations than I had learned in the two to three years I spent researching the industry on my own.Her in depth knowledge and advice are invaluable and I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone starting in the stationery business."

"I love what Fiona has to offer: her blog is a treasure trove of vintage finds, and I also avidly follow her updates on Twitter. She offers a unique take on design and has been just brilliant bringing her aesthetic sensibility and business savvy to the retail, print and online worlds — not to mention her recent venture into the world of smartphone apps! She's a true entrepreneur in every sense of the word."

"Fiona was great to talk to when I was feeling my way along the unbeaten path to my new business. We talked a number of times along the way and each time I felt better informed and encouraged to take the next step. Fiona seems to have a natural instinct for the entrepreneurial world where there are no text books or cookie cutter answers. Not only is she bright and creative with her thoughts and ideas, she's also generous, positive and helpful. I was (and still am!) glad to have Fiona in my tent."
- Cobi Ladner, CobiStyle, past editor Canadian House & Home.
"Fiona is not only an incredible artist and business woman, she’s an innovator in the stationery field. She is always thinking one step ahead of the industry. Fiona knows the stationery industry inside and out and has researched all aspects of the business. I can’t think of anyone in this industry who is more knowledgeable, honest and generous with her time and talents. An hour spent consulting with Fiona is worth its weight in gold!."
