I am pleased to announce that the Essence of Laurel note card line, art work and book “Emerging Voices” can be found in a wonderful & unique gift  store named Persnickity Cat & Company. The store is located in Sarasota and is one of those places you love to get lost in – browsing amongst the many eclectic “goodies”.    A bit about Persnickity …..
