World’s Smallest Postal Service

Everyone has been geeking about this and I’m no exception. I love the idea of getting a teeny tiny letter in the mail (complete with magnifying glass!) all nicely addressed and sealed with real wax! The WSPS is the brainchild of local artist Lea Redmond of Leafcutter Designs. She makes the world’s smallest letter, birthday card, invitation, etc. and at $8 a pop, it’s extremely tempting to send one to all of my pen pals! To order, visit their website or just check the calendar for her upcoming appearances.
