Welcome to the Smallest Post Office in the world!
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!
