Bollywood birthday party....

A fabulously themed party by a creative mom for her daughter. She found a woman to buy sarees from for a really good price, got the girls bangles, and bought throw pillows and more. She got great bargains, and the girls all had so much fun. They had a great tent set up with so many beautiful silks.

girls afternoon

Very fun gathering of women! They all had their nails done and then gathered to get henna. The woman in the middle is the bride.

This one was my favorite.....


A very different pre wedding event than the one in Greenwich... very low key, with margaritas and great munchies!

punjabi wedding

I was lucky enough to do henna at a pre-wedding event in Greenwich for about 500 guests. It was beautiful with so many incredible sarees, fabulous music and dance performances. I hennaed with Carrie and Kayan for 3 1/2 hours.

birthday party

These girls had so much fun picking out their henna designs for Ana's sleep-over birthday party!

Multi- cultural event

Star Henna was able to do 2 events in the last few weeks at ESPN! We had 2 artists at each event, and henna'ed about 40 people an hour during the busier of the two events. It is always fun to work there.

EGGSTOCK

Come to Eggstock!!! It is at Flamig Farm in Simsbury... a great music festival, in the tradition of Woodstock.... in a pasture of a farm, great music, lots of people, lots of fun... and HENNA!

Last year we had so much fun doing henna there. We hope to see many of you there again on Saturday the 7th of June.

fun henna party

I did a fun party and hennaed about a dozen women. They chose really diverse patterns, and it was fun to be there for 3 1/2 hours.

henna rock

I just spent a week on a small island in Maine. It was peaceful and we had beautiful weather.
We spent time painting rocks, which I love doing.

This one I painted and left for our friends who own the boathouse we stayed in.

ESPN- raffle winner

The raffle winner from the ESPN event is Jennifer Altarriba.
She has won a one hour appointment with me to use however she wishes, for a private appointment, or to share with some friends.

ESPN event

We had a fabulous time doing henna at an event for ESPN today. It was incredibly busy, and we had a line, and painted for 3 1/2 hours. It was a great venue and a fun day, with tons of music and dancing and good food, and luckily great weather too.

People were asking for some creative things, and it was great trying to accommodate for everyones wishes. We painted as fast as we could and I think we hennaed about 200 people. They would like us to come back again, which we will happily do.

We were so busy doing henna, that I hardly took any photos. Here are some of the few I did take:
(I will have to email my contact at ESPN and see if we can get some of the photos from their photographers, as we didn't even take any pictures of our tent, or anything)






We will be announcing a raffle winner in the next few days. Check back here to find out who won!

market day

had a slow but good day at the farmer's market. We will be back there in two weeks.

This girl wanted the vine and flowers to wrap around her arm....


This woman wanted something that looked 'kind of like' scrolled ironwork, but she wouldn't stop moving, so it was kind of hard to have straight lines. Luckily she loved it!




The view from the Star Henna booth...... a fabulous local organic farm and all of their goods are displayed so nicely- just beautiful!

Farmer's market

This Sunday, July 15th, I will have a tent at the Farmer's Market in Collinsville. It is open from 10-2 and I will be there promptly ready to henna before 10.


I look forward to seeing any returning clients and to trying some new patterns.

graduation night

I finished my comprehensive small business course from University of Hartford. We had a 'business showcase' where people could have a table and display their business. I chose to offer free henna to everyone, and had the most popular table! yeah! I was even spotlighted for it in the address later by the keynote speaker, Rob Simmons.

It was fun, and I had the opportunity to do many people with dark skin, which I hadn't had the opportunity to do before. Everyone seemed to have a good time.

EGGStock - a music festival

Flamig Farm holds a great music festival. Their logo is a big EGGS (written backwards- long story...) so, since they have a music festival similar to woodstock... they call it EGGStock.

I had a booth there and got to enjoy great music while henna-ing!

A friend helped me out being my front person, taking in the cash, helping with design choices, and organizing the line. There were 16 in line at one point! For my first festival/ outdoor event- this was fabulous!

We will definitely do this festival again. It was a fun event, and I love going to these.

one of the staff from the farm wanted to display her love for the logo

a boy and his dad.... dad had a tattoo that he wanted copied for his son
(need to figure out how to rotate this photo!)

Music & Arts .... & Sonic Fire

At a great event, prior to a Sonic Fire show in Collinsville, there was music all day long and I hennaed in the sun. It was windy like crazy, so alas, no tent. The day started slowly, but ended up with many happy clients.

look how red my hennaed hair looks in the sun!

fun dixieland jazz playing next to my henna booth!
