Abstract: A portable hanging shelf designed to fit within various sizes of window frames, including an adjustable shelf with a first portion slidably overlaying and interconnecting with a second portion, each portion having a base with front and rear downwardly extending sides and ends also downwardly extending. The first portion overlays and slidably interconnects with the second portion and the sliding motion is limited by the ends. Each base side includes two holes spaced from the ends. The portable hanging shelf includes an adjustable support rod which is forced between the side walls of a window frame, perpendicular to the side walls and parallel to the frame bottom. The tension created by forcing the adjustable rod within the window frame is sufficient to support the weight of the rod plus a predetermined additional weight attached to the rod. The portable shelf includes a plurality of wire hangers. Each hanger includes a pair of legs with upwardly turned ends and a curved middle portion.
