About

I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Jennifer Schmitt, and I’m the designer, writer, calligrapher, quote collector, and Blackwing pencil devotee behind Six-Penny Stamp.

For nine years, I’ve worked as a copywriter and art director for The J. Peterman Company, the real-life catalog company famously parodied on Seinfeld and known for romance, adventure, and nostalgia… work that has deeply shaped my love of storytelling, beautiful objects, and the art of atmosphere.

It all led me toward building a world of my own… 

In late 2025, I started The Prose & Post Society, a monthly snail mail club, as a way to send something thoughtful and lasting out into the world. Envelopes filled with literary quotes, original art prints, and charming extras designed for readers and curious souls.

Everything you’ll find here, from the monthly mail to the literary goods and curious objects I dream up along the way, is created from that place.

And the name, Six-Penny Stamp? It comes from the price of a postage stamp in 1968, the year I was born.

I’m based in Summerville, just north of Charleston.

It’s so good to meet you,
