We saw a few olden structures on our trip that I thought would be great for RUBBISH TUESDAY.
...somewhere in New Mexico
Just a tiny shed with a sweet little metal roof.
"I'll huff....and I'll puff....and I'll blow your house down..."
I guess this one will stand a little longer since it's mainly made of brick and stone.
I have no idea what this charming building was used for...
no signs around...nothing to give us a clue.
It looks Swedish to me....but being in New Mexico...???
MAYbe a Swedish man moved to NM,
built a barn like they do in Switzerland,
and felt more at home every time he looked at it.

ReplyDeletelove your old finds! and your post title, too. :)
You sure are good at pulling great images out of that little camera of yours!!! The pretzels look pretty good, also!! Getting a good rain this afternoon here - maybe it will head your way. Take care, Sally
ReplyDeleteLove those pretzel treats! I've got to make them again...soon.
ReplyDeleteoh the junk was real cool, too!
Nice update on the 3 little pigs. I wondered what they'd been up to. Lol. Cool buildings!
ReplyDeleteFun photos, BJ.
ReplyDeleteMy kinda stuff! Tom The backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteGreat finds on the barn and sheds! The Rolo pretzel turtles look delicious as well as dangerous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment on my Mail Pouch barns.

It certainly does look like a European barn there!
ReplyDeleteBJ you are a hoot - and a certifiable Sweetie!!!! Those treats look like the perfect thing to make with the grands when they want to 'bake' something in a hurry. Talk about a perfect combo of chocolate, sugar and salt!
I enjoyed looking at the old barns.
ReplyDeleteYou took some great pictures!
It certainly does look from "away." I love that roofline...quite distinctive.
ReplyDeleteOh you are not supposed to remind me of those Turtles until Christmas!
I like your imagination, BJ! See, my own mom was Norwegian and lived in N.M. -- so who's to say it didn't happen to the Swede?! :)
ReplyDeleteI love those Rolo Turtles, wish I had one right NOW!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos..amazing that you found that old building. Great shots! Those candies looked so good!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Those rolo treats are the best! What neat pictures Bj! It sure does make you wonder what that old building was. It sure looked cool! Hope you are enjoying your summer. It looks that way:) XO
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder what they looked like when they were new
ReplyDeleteLove your post title! I feel sad whenever I see structures deteriorating. I always wonder why their owners must let that happen.
ReplyDeleteLove ya Sister friend...hugs Gloria
ReplyDeleteOh, very old building half deteriorating; I love your phrase "I'll huff....and I'll puff....and I'll blow your house down..." :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd sweet treat here is wonderful for me (sweet tooth, haha)
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs to from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
That barn looks as if it would fall down if you huffed on it, let alone and puffed, Swedish or not. I love the idea of those pretzels, yum.
ReplyDeleteDiana
Love the "huff and puff" reference. Perfect! You found some great shots for Rubbish Tuesday! I was trying to think of something to fix to take to work tomorrow for a coworker's birthday snack. These would be perfect. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI love old barns and rickety structures:) Have a blessed day dear B.J. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteIt always breaks my heart a bit to see the old buildings tumble down, you know they don't make them like that anymore! I would love to salvage some of the wood when I see a tumbled barn, seems like most of the time they are just left to rot or hauled to the dump.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing the old buildings I often wish they could talk what stories they could tell. The pretzel treats sound delicious. Have a blessed day. Madeline

Yummy! Great pictures, too.
ReplyDeleteI love those Rollo things...and old deserted buildings we see here in the southwest. Fun post, BJ!
ReplyDeleteI love those old things. What a fun trip! I know you must be enjoying yourself. I would love to be right there exploring with you!
ReplyDeleteI love the old barns you found. Great pictures and would not take much huffing and puffing to blow that little barn down. Looks like some beautiful old bar wood there that would be salvageable. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Brynna, like her Grandma is tempting us with those delicious looking treats. Never seen them made that way, but tempted to try to make them for Christmas treats.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Hugs,
Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures
love all those old outbuildings but now you've sidetracked me with the rolo pretzels!
ReplyDeleteWhat great old finds. Someone needs to tear them down instead of letting them rot away. Sad sights to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet another really cool party that I didn't know about. I love to look at old things, old buildings in particular. This might give me a good reason to take some photos.
ReplyDelete(And I love those pretzel rolo thingies. Mom makes them.)
Great 'rubbish' today.
ReplyDeleteAnd in your previous post, I love the idea of the shower wrap!!!
Lots of nice old stuff!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to tell my hubby about the shower wrap. Would also be great for the gym!
I love the old barn series! Your narration fits perfectly. Thanks for linking up at Vintage Beauty.
ReplyDeletelovely shots. I bet those buildings have some great stories.
