                                                contents.

                                                I left Italy until last as there are just
                                                soooo many from there. The bottle
                                                on the left is Limoncello from
                                                Correale, also, of course, from Italy.
                                                A nice variant is the blue liqueur
                                                stiletto bottle in the blue shoe. I
                                                believe that this is also Italian but I
                                                do not know who made it.

                                                   Whilst we are dealing with Italian
                                                   glass shoes I must show you this gem from Nello Gori. It
                                                   looks more like a boot to me but represents the shoe from
                                                   the children’s poem, “The Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.”


                                                   There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
                                                   She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
                                                   She gave them some broth without any bread;
                                                   And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
