Large typography has been big for a long time in decor. Now little letters are getting some love.

Petite wooden tiles, playfully spelling words, are showing up in bowls and under clear glass cloches on tablescapes. These diminutive digits and ABCs also are being displayed with other miniatures, thread spools, buttons and game pieces. Tips for using the letters: either mass them together randomly in a bowl or just use a few. You don’t want it to look cluttered or too contrived.

Be Here Now on the Independence Square, 205 W. Lexington, 816-461-7819, sells these tiny treasures starting at 10 cents apiece.
