the pallet party

 We went to a 21st party the other evening. Now, for the non new zealanders. A 21st is a kiwi tradition. It seems to be to fall somewhere in between the american high school graduation party and a wedding reception! It is celebrating the individuals entry into adulthood and is often a very formal affair. At least the ones I have been to. There is always lots of good food and speeches. The one we went to the other night was for Nigels 3rd cousin. Her grandparents own a wood recycling place and the party was held there. It was decorated all with old pallets! The walls, the table, the planters, the bar. Very cool idea! I was pallet inspired.
