You're describing Arietty by Ghibli, even "Borrower" is the English translation for the little beings :)

Well, no, obviously not. The Ghibli movie is a takeoff on the Borrowers series by Mary Norton; there is no reason to believe tetris11 had the movie in mind rather than the books he referred to by name.
There's a story called "The Borrowers" from the 50's. I'm not sure which pre-dates the other.
Arrietty is based on the book.
