Discover Our Debut Correspondence Novel
In The Ways We Have Always Known
Come meet Peggy and Penelope.
I've saved your favorite chair, and the coffee or tea is already waiting while I introduce you to these remarkable women.
The First Bluebird Correspondence Novel
Welcome to the World of Peggy and Penelope
We hope you’ll stay awhile…
…where the coffee is still warm, the gardens are buzzing with life, family is never far away—if not in geography, then always in heart—and the ordinary moments of everyday life quietly become The Ways We Have Always Known.
In The Ways We Have Always Known is a year-long correspondence novel that follows the lives of Peggy, her mother Penelope, their family, friends, and the close-knit communities they call home.
Through their heartfelt correspondence, Peggy and Penelope gently invite you into their lives until, somewhere along the way, their family, their friends, their traditions, and their everyday moments begin to feel a little like your own.
Their story isn’t driven by extraordinary adventures or dramatic events. It unfolds the way life itself unfolds… through changing seasons, family celebrations, unexpected conversations, quiet mornings, faithful friendships, shared recipes, gardens in bloom, and the countless little moments that quietly become the memories we treasure most.
Unlike a traditional novel that’s read in a weekend, this story is experienced one Bluebird Correspondence Delivery at a time. Every few weeks, another beautifully handcrafted envelope arrives in your mailbox, bringing the next chapter of the story along with thoughtfully chosen recipes, paper treasures, collectible keepsakes, and delightful surprises that allow you to hold a little piece of Peggy and Penelope’s world in your hands.
As the year unfolds, you may find yourself looking forward to each new delivery—not simply to discover what happens next, but to spend another afternoon with people who have quietly begun to feel like old friends.
If your heart has been longing for a story that invites you to slow down, notice life’s quiet blessings, and rediscover the beauty that has always been there, we would be honored to welcome you into our very first Bluebird Correspondence Novel.
