In the Bag

You can tell a lot about a person by what they carry. I have seen ‘what’s in your bag?’ type memes make their rounds on the web, but haven’t ever shared before. I swapped bags recently so it’s a little less chaotic than usual, but this is unedited. Complete with ancient cough drop!

1.The bag – HOBO International has the best leather bags. This camel tote has been with me for many moons, and just keeps getting better with age. It can serve as a light weekend bag, or is big enough for my laptop and lunch during the work week.

2. Laptop bag – Oilcloth bag by danica studio. The perfect bag for the chronic spiller (that’s me!).

3. Water bottle – well-loved, with a barely visible Bicycle Garage Indy logo.

4. Blue folder – reading material and resumes for the Musical Family Tree internship position.

5. Moleskine notebook – for doodles and to do lists.

6. 3 Pens – Pilot Precise v5, a fine instrument for writing.

7. Apple ear buds

8. Indy Film Fest name tag

9. Keys

10. Cough drop – from last year I think! It was tucked in a crevice.

11. Green wallet – another one that ages wonderfully, bought in a long-ago-closed boutique in Chicago, circa 2001. And a little cash.

12. Card holder – the bamboo silk printed case has things like IMA membership, library card, Speak Easy key card and unused gift cards.

13. Wallet – People for Urban Progress dome card holder for the essentials: license and bank cards.

14. Lip gloss and balm – I’m a Burt’s Bees devotee. It’s the best stuff out there, period. The others, Neutrogena and Bite gloss, see a lot less use.
