Suggestions....PLEASE!!!!!Posted by Maureen on July 12, 2001 at 02:49:30: I want suggestions on how to integrate some fun visible hennaactivities into life and events in this little town I live in. I only know of one other henna artist in the Greater Pittsburgh area and he is in Pittsburgh and has his own shop. I just know there has to be others around here doing this but they must be invisible and as isolated as I am. The young people around here know what henna is and a lot of the older folks like me comment positively on the henna on my hands. So it is not like there is some taboo on this around here. This is just a small quiet town. Anyone have any suggestions for ways to just make doing henna part of what is done in a place like this? There is no coffee shop here that I could go sit in and do henna. I have my own shop and can and do henna there as an aside to my primary business. But that could go on for 30 years here and only those people I do and the people they tell would know...no matter how large and colorful a sign I would put up. Maybe that is the nature of a small town. I am not so much looking for more business. I keep busy enough with the other hat I wear and do henna on individuals and parties more at my own convenience. It is just that I believe there needs to be a way and has to be a way to weave henna into the fabric of this little community in a fun and public way. But haven't come up with an idea yet. Any suggestions from others in little quiet towns or others from big noisy towns that might work here as well. I know a big part of the problem is how comfortable I have always been with the one on one kind of work and the word of mouth kind of advertising. So, I don't naturally think of ways that make sense to set up in public places and spaces to do things. That is why I would appreciate any and all suggestions for moving beyond my habitual way of doing henna. It could be an event or it could be something ongoing. But I would like for it to be something I could begin and continue to do for the rest of the summer. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Maureen
