How do we like it that circa. is hosting this month's trunk show by Joy Hand Painted Silk? Try love!
We couldn't agree more with the sentiment expressed by the Rosen Group, publishers of Niche Magazine to Fondren’s circa. The national fine art gallery and retail magazine honored circa. as their top retailer in the social networking category in awards announced earlier this year. circa. is now nationally recognized and owners Craig and Michele Escude couldn’t be more thrilled. “We are deeply honored by this award,” Craig said. ”To win national recognition after being open for such a short time and for simply doing what we love is phenomenal. We could not do it without the support of our business community, circa.staff, artisans and, most of all, our circa.family of customers.” Opened in October 2010, circa. describes their store as American ingenuity with a splash of urban coolness….
