Sandy Burchart of Victorian Lace Elegance and Governor Warner Mansion volunteers will host a special tea and talk on the porch of the Mansion on Aug. 26.

This event will feature homemade scones and other sweets, plus delicious teas donated by Sandy’s specialty store, which is filled with teas, cards, angels, lace and Victorian items, and is located in the Village Mall in Farmington.

Select vendor booths will be open on the Mansion grounds before and after the tea.
