“The Prose & Post Society is one of my favorite subscriptions. Everything is so perfectly beautiful, creative, and inspiring. From the artwork to the letters and ephemera, every piece feels carefully chosen and tells a story. Opening each month's package feels like stepping into another time and place.”

 The Wilderness of Books Oversized Tote

“The wilderness of books, in which she could wander where she liked.”

There are worse places to lose your way… but no better place for finding it.

Louisa May Alcott was writing about libraries here, but her quote feels just right anywhere you wander among books. Sturdy cotton canvas, generously oversized, and printed on both sides.

For all your everyday errands and bookish expeditions.

A Love for Letters


I’m Jennifer, a writer, designer, and calligrapher who’s been collecting quotes (like pennies or feathers) for as long as I can remember. Six-Penny Stamp is my way of giving beautiful words and vintage art another life… through art prints, letters, handwritten calligraphy, and keepsakes worth holding onto.

Each piece begins at my desk in Summerville, South Carolina, and travels across the miles until it lands in your hands.
