It was definately Pleasant's idea for a colonial girl. She was inspired by Williamsburg to create the AGC in the first place!

The Pleasant Times newspaper first came in a few catalogs and then was offered as part of the Historical club they had for awhile. I was not a member so I only have the few newspapers that came in the catalogs. Check out Emily Strange's website for the old Pleasant Pastimes newsletter. Those were wonderful and I wish they continued them longer!
