Did you hear?? Here at Gretna Green Famous Blacksmiths Shop, we're officially counting down to the start of Wedding Town which will start airing on Monday 22nd August on Channel 4....!

Well this is exciting news - we've just heard that Outlander has been nominated for two Emmy Awards - one of them for costume design (very exciting as we love all things tartan.....)

We were off for a wander around the shops the other day when we happened to pop into Hamper and Home to have a wee look round - you never know what you might find when you're not looking!

We spotted these totally-adorable wire wiggle animals - how cute are they! We can't imagine anyone not wanting one of these cute rustic wiggly metal lambs or chickens or goats. This wonderfully wiggly collection of handmade metal animal sculptures make lovely decorations perfect as a housewarming gift!
