Laura Kacy, owner of  ‘Home is where the Tea is’  has been featured in the Gateway News, The Valley News Dispatch, and The Pittsburgh Christian Newspaper.  Other articles include Nibbles in the Post-Gazette (3/20/2006) and the Pittsburgh Senior News (5/2006.)  She has an exclusive agreement to provide pastries from the renowned “Café at the Frick”,  of the Henry Clay Frick Museum in the  Point Breeze area of Pittsburgh, PA.  She was also consulted to evaluate their tea presentation.

"I want the hostess to almost be a guest in her own home so she can sit with her guests and relate to them," she said.  "You need to enjoy these relationships in your life before they are gone."  Kacy, The Pittsburgh Christian, June 2005

"Laura Kacy will teach a course on tea and social graces, a very English, very turn-of-the-19th-century course. Those who take her weeklong class will learn about the history and etiquette of English-style afternoon tea, how to make tea and how to make tea-time snacks. "I'll try to introduce a number of teas people have never tried," she said. "There's so much to learn about tea and so many of them." Students also learn about hats and bonnets through the ages and the art of conversation, both listening and talking. For this portion of the class, no modern technology will be allowed.
"This is a technology-free zone," Ms. Kacy said. "We'll be getting back to written correspondence. It's really sad, because technology really is replacing proper grammar and writing styles."
Ms. Kacy, of the Sarver section of Buffalo, owns Home Is Where The Tea Is, a "bring-it-to-your-home" tea service she has operated for two years."  From The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette , May 20, 2007
