The world's smallest post office
March 6th 2009 02:16
Postmaster Lea Redmond takes her little tiny writing desk around to cafes in San Francisco, offering to post your letters in miniature size. The end result is a beautifully created letter, with wax seals and wonderful handwriting, all in a form so small that the recipient would have to use tweezers to open it!
I guess you give her a normal sized letter, then she transcribes it into tiny form, so that it looks like this:
Fantastic, eh?
The letter is then sent out, and the recipient is certain to be delighted, unless they sneeze, sending the letter flying out the window where a swarm of bees would intercept it and open it.
Here's the webpage for the service, which also takes online orders:

Found on Boingboing, where blogger Gareth Branwyn writes about an experience he had growing up, where he discovered a tiny little living room in the trunk of a tree:
"There, inside the dank hole, was a tiny overstuffed chair sitting on a braided rug, and next to it stood a floor lamp. Tiny pictures hung on even tinier nails on the inside walls of the knothole. A family portrait. Reclining in the chair, watching the TV inside the hole, sat a little rabbit-man. I think he had on overalls. And he may have been drinking something. A can of carrot juice? Honestly, I don't remember the details, and I'm sure time and memory have exaggerated them."
Ah - if only the world actually existed like this!
