ince 2002 Circa’s carefully selected merchandise and artful displays have been inspiring unique décor.

The shop was founded by owner Betsy Rutkowski, a former airline executive. Throughout her travels, Betsy has had the pleasure of visiting wonderful boutiques and shops within the United States and overseas. Inspired by these experiences, Betsy created Circa Home & Garden as a space where distinctive furnishings and creative gifts could offer a retreat from ordinary shopping in Northern Virginia.

Not only is Circa’s merchandise extraordinary, but the setting is special as well. Nestled between historic streets in the City of Fairfax, the building—once an old feed and grain warehouse—provides an interesting contrast to the exquisite furnishings.

Circa Home and Garden has been featured in several publications since opening in July 2002. To read more about Circa, visit the following:
