Chimney Sweep Hedgehog
Description from designer’s website:
Where would you find a variety of lucky charms all in one place? On the Chimney Sweep Hedgehog! Traditionally, it used to be considered good luck if a sweep turned up at a wedding. So, our sweep himself is a lucky mascot for the big day. In addition, he has sprigs of white heather, a four-leaf clover, horseshoe and lucky red spider. You will love him to bits! His realistic sweeping brush and poles are made from drinking straws and you will no doubt enjoy marking on the sooty smudges with pencil. The chimney sweeps’ soot sack can be used for a variety of gifts, or fill the sack with gold-wrapped chocolate coins for a delicious treat.
