A few of my favorite finds from the month of November:

Top favorite: Handmade jewelry from Nisolo, made in Kenya and perfectly basic. My love started with supporting their Kickstarter campaign and now I anxiously await the arrival of some great brass jewelry. Happy Birthday to me.
Favorite video: Now, when I miss my Indiana home, I can watch a few videos of the action on the farm, taken by my brother's drone
Favorite article: A timely and well-thought piece by Wendell Berry - Thoughts in the Presence of Fear
Favorite recipe: Basil chicken curry, a perfectly easy and delicious recipe to host family members who were visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Favorite new song: I'm jumping on the bandwagon with Everglow by Coldplay
Favorite quote:
“Come away, O human child,
to the waters and the wild
with a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.”
Favorite comedic relief: Sometimes it's the absurdity that makes it fun to live in Uganda. Take a man smuggling goats in dresses to pass them off as children, for example.
Favorite new word: insouciant - free from concern, worry, or anxiety; carefree; nonchalant. From Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard
Favorite product: I had these rattling links made for Leo from cow horn. He absolutely loves them. Now I'm selling them for other babes.
