Are stamps used on letters?

I've been meaning to mention this for months now. Late last year, the City by the Sea got a new public sculpture. It's just round the corner from my office, so I pass it most days when I go out for a bit of fresh air. I like it.

When I went to take that photo this afternoon, I passed a lovely little homewares shop and was surprised and sad to see a closing down sale sign on it. Closing down because the owners are retiring it turns out, so that's better for them than going out of business, I suppose. I'll miss it, though. It was a good source of gifts. I went in and bought myself a mug and coaster for my desk at work.
