Back from the Beach?     With Tons of Shells?

Here’s a So Simple Summer Valance Made from Shells.  Shells.  Shells.

And Driftwood.  Or a Branch from the Yard.

Simple.  Pretty.  Frames a Window.  And Lets In the Light.

Start by Finding Special Treasures on the Beach.

As an Aside…My Special Beach Treasure(!)

This Valance Highlights Your Favorite Beach Finds.  “Holey” Shells Work Best.

Suspend the Branch from the Ceiling with Cup Hooks.

Thread Shells through the Holes with Fishing Line and Loop Over the Branch.

I placed this valance on an interior window in the kitchen.  Looks into the Great Room.

  Here’s another View.

Pretty.  Ok, a little Funky.  But I Like that it Doesn’t Block the View.

Including the Piles of Laundry Poised to Be Put Away…sigh.

Fun for Summer.

And Looking Forward to the Oh So Cool of Fall.

Leave the Branch Up  to Display Lovely Leaves.  Silver Antique Spoons.  Sparkly Snowflakes.

Magic.  🙂
