Well, so far this week, I started teaching English again at the Not-For-Profit group in Chicago (immigrant English classes community members can take for free), I resurrected this blog (go me!), I even got started on my blogroll....and visited the library twice. Once to get a shit ton of books about Costa Rica for my impending trip and once to get some Spanish workbooks and such because I almost purchased two or three of them at full price at Border's. Why do that when I can photocopy what I want for half the price, or even less! Nonetheless I DO have my eye on the Spanish Picture Dictionary. I am pretty sure I'm going to buy it today. On to the world's tiniest letter. I'll expound more later on the ESL, Spanish, CHICAGO, and more. Guess I should start mentioning Chicago a bit more, considering I live there.
THE WORLDS TINIEST LETTER www.leafcutterdesigns.com
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.
