Cicada Flower Pot
Local artist Joan Gardiner has created ceramic flower pots in honor of Brood X and is selling them exclusively at Crème de la Crème in Middleburg. The idea is based off of a tradition in the South of France called
porte de bonheur, in which cicada-shaped art is hung at front doors, in hallways, or in kitchens as a symbol of good luck. These pots, which come in two sizes and in a set with fresh lavender and a candle, can be hung on a wall.
