Catalog

I love lists, and I love cataloging in stories, especially when they have to do with contents of an adventurer's bag. I'm writing a story (slowly but surely...) and I'm working on a catalog for a young girl's satchel.
Ever since, Crea had rarely left the house without the bag. It looked much like a schoolbag, but inside it she kept items from her explorations. She did carry a pencil and a small notepad, but she used them to write directions to new places she found, and descriptions of people she met who she particularly liked, or disliked. She also carried a white gold pocket watch she had stolen from a man who had crossed her years before, a pair of gloves that came in handy when climbing rough trees, a small net on a stick which she used to catch frogs and rats, a yellow hair ribbon her mother had given her, but she had never worn, a ball of twine, a large metal ring, a jar each of antiseptic and conditioning cream, a whistle, a pocketknife, a piece of quartz, the manor library's copy of Trees, Shrubs, and Flora: The Complete Guide, two strips of brown fabric, a small ivory bowl, a vial of sand from the shore in the coastal district, and Sir Davies’ arrow box.
