Clockwise, from upper left corner:
water container with three sections;
•2 dip pens with different nibs;
•2 large wash brushes and a Winsor-Newton series 7 #1 brush for drawing;
•mixing tray for washes;
•box of nibs;
•bottle of ink (Higgins black magic) in a saucer to prevent tip-over;
•chamois for wiping nibs.

Everything is sitting on a cloth diaper, which is washable and makes a great blotter for removing excess water from brushes.
