H is for henna

The henna decoration booth is always a popular stop, especially for teens and young women.  It seems like a magical process that connects the participants to a deep tradition many centuries old.  Seen at the Temescal Street Fair.  Linked to ABC Wednesday.

    I have seen some spectacular henna painting. It can be amazing . . . and it scrubs off!

    My daughter had henna when she was in a Pakistani wedding.
