Set by Lady!

Alasdair did illusion work for one of the residences — NPC Widow Sally Priestly. The theme is "ghosts of Hogwarts past." The house has been charmed to look vaguely like Hogwarts castle and various historical figures can be seen leaning out of windows/drifting around the premises soliloquizing about whatever events happened during their Hogwarts tenure. At certain intervals the house itself appears to be affected with various old disasters like the South Tower Collapse of 1127 and the Potions Laboratory Fires of 1459 (complete with colorful pillars of smoke from every window).

[Alasdair is also available for hire for illusion work for any other residents/businesses who want to participate!]

  

Laurel has drafted Zinnia and Thistle into helping with the Potts Florist display. Using magic and their wares the shop front appears as a large tree with hanging branches of "leaves" changing colors for the fall. These leaves are flowers in appropriate colors that have been charms to fall down into planters.

Mama Potts' is a joy thanks to Bee <3

Dahlia was in charge of decorating Honeyduke's and did so with great enthusiasm. There was magic involved, but Fallin is still thinking up a description.

Pretties by Bee <3

Daff decorated Elias' workshop front because she could. It featured their gigantic pumpkins turned into a large, ten-foot snowman-esque figure complete with an autumn-themed broom. It wore a witch's hat and a scarf and had a jack-o-lantern for a head. Daff also created an archway of colorful leaves, berries, vines and sapling branches. It featured fake spiders web and creepy crawlies too!

Nephele's decorations are conspicuous by their absence. She would normally go all out and have a lot of traditional Samhain decor and florals at the front of the house, but there is nothing this year.
