Thursday Postcard Hunt's Thursday Postcard Hunt is in the pink...

Time for a cakewalk, unknown dancers circa 1915. The cakewalk originated in the slave plantations of America in the 19th century but like all dance it travelled.

As did this Maxi Card. It is a East German stamp on a Cuban 'Special Delivery for Mother's Day pre-stamped postcard.

The lady in pink is making me smile!
Oh, I do love that first postcard! There's something about those hand tinted antique ones. I haven't thought of cakewalks since I was a child. My elementary school had them when we had some special fun day, I forget why. There may have been an actual cake to win too. I didn't know the origin of them.
The first postcard is a winner :)
Although I love also the roses and... wow, living in such a beautiful place, somewhere in Finland!
That was an interesting history lesson about the cakewalk. Pink roses seem to be a popular choice for cards back in the day. Eva, it almost looked like Finland here this morning, though most of the snow has already melted.
I would like to have some snow for a change :)
The cakewalk card is really cool! The Finland card is gorgeous!
