You may know Lea Redmond of
Leafcutter Designs from her monthly visits to the shoppe with the
World's Smallest Postal Service. She is also the brains behind the ever-popular
wiggly eye dice and earrings for spontaneous seeding that we sell. Every time we see Lea, she's got a new brilliant idea that she executes to perfection, whether it's a
matchbox theater, a teacup lending library, or a"
noodle performance kit". A new service that Lea offers through her website is the
Curio Search, which operates as follows:
You give her a list of 20 descriptive words and a price limit, and she will search high and low for the perfect curio to send to you in return, along with a letter explaining the history of the object. Genius, right?
Here are some examples (and results) of recent searches:
