Necktie Window Valances

Once when Walter needed more tie racks to accommodate his tie collection, and I needed new valances for the two windows in our north room, I came up with this solution--I threw his ties over the curtain rod. They have been a novelty to elicit comments from our guests! The only ties that are not here are the ones he currently wears the most, those with his granddaughters' pictures on them...or Dirk Nowitzky or the Cowboys or whatever!
