World's Smallest Postal Service

World's Smallest Postal Service

I was reading 7x7's Best of the City article and under Best of Home Design, they featured the World's Smallest Postal Service by Lea Redmond in San Francisco. As I read this bit at Border's Books yesterday, I experienced the most severe of cutegasms. It was a little embarrassing. Here's an excerpt direct from Lea Redmond's website, Leaf Cutter Designs:

The World's Smallest Postal Service (WSPS) is a teeny tiny transcription service and roaming post office based in the San Francisco Bay Area and also available online.

Lea Redmond is the Postmaster, setting up her tiny mobile office in cafes and shops where passers-by can write a letter and have it turned into a "world's smallest letter." The letter is transcribed on a miniature desk in the tiniest of script, sealed with a miniscule wax seal with the sender's intial pressed into it, packaged up with a magnifying glass in a glassine envelope, and finished off with a large wax seal (see above). It is a double delight: for both the sender and the recipient, and the WSPS is very happy to provide this important service to the world.

Check out these pictures from WSPS:
