Here’s a simple idea turned into something fascinating – Lea Redmond‘s handmade letter service is unique and makes for a great gift.
The World’s Smallest Postal Service is a teeny tiny letter transcription service. It sets up shop in cafes and stores, and is now available online. Here’s how it works: You write a letter (up to 6 sentences – see below) and I rewrite it onto tiny stationary (1 x 1.5 inches) with my microscopic ink pen. It then goes into a tiny envelope which gets addressed, stamped, and sealed with a tiny wax seal with your initial on it. The letter then goes into a see-through folded coin case and is packaged up with a magnifying glass in a larger glassine envelope, finished off with a large “World’s Smallest Letter” wax seal. I can send your letter directly to a recipient of your choice, or to you if you would like to distribute it yourself.
The cost is $8 per letter. Start writing that birthday card!
