Yep, that is absolutely right :)
Be aware of these stipulations (of which Bampop already mentioned 1 and 2):
- Big items, of which you can normally only carry one
- Treasure cards without a Value are not Items and cannot be carried on the table this way
- Enhancers (Item Enhancers, Hireling Enhancers, Steed Enhancers, Ship Enhancers, etc) cannot be carried this way. They must be attached to an appropriate card, as stated on the card.
