🧸 Lost Toy Alert! 🚗
This little green safari truck was left behind at the pharmacy yesterday — looks like some unlucky wee fella is missing his wheels! 🦒🐒💚
If it’s yours (or your little one’s), it’s safe and waiting to be reunited at the counter.

🕸️ 🕷️ DISPEN-SCARY HALLOWEEN COMPETITION WINNERS! 🕸️🕷️

What a frightfully fun Halloween it’s been at Islay Pharmacy!

Thank you to everyone who took part in our Costume & Joke Competition — the effort, imagination, and laughs were spook-tacular! 👻

We saw baby pumpkins (literally!), K-Pop demon hunters (a new one on us 🤷), witches, vampires, and plenty of creative creatures haunting the Dispen-Scary!

It was a tough decision but the Potioner and her assistants have made their decision. 🤔

🏆 The winners are... 🥁

🧙‍♀️ Best Costume (Girl) – Ella C, our spooky (but adorable) spider!

🐯 Best Costume (Boy) – Flynn S, a fang-tastic sabre-toothed tiger!

📜 Best Joke (Girl) – Rosanna D, with the classic “Why did the skeleton go to the party alone? Because they had nobody to go with!”

(And she also recited a Gaelic poem flawlessly!)

🎤 Best Joke (Boy) – Murray Mc, who had us in stitches with:

“What power cables do they use in America? US-B!” Told with flair and just the right amount of sarcasm.

🎃 Honourable mention to all the parents for the incredible effort and creativity that went into every costume!

🏅 Winners (and parents) can collect their prizes from the pharmacy anytime this week.

Thank you again for making Halloween at Islay Pharmacy so much fun!

💚 Potioner-approved!

🎩✨ One Last Trick from the Dispen-Scary! ✨🎩

(Sorry couldn't resist one last pun)

Just when you thought the Halloween magic was over… the Potioner had one final illusion up her sleeve.

VAULT-AROL – Dispen-Scary Special Edition!

💈 Soothes surprises, slips, and those things you never Saw coming.

For aches from fright or backs from bending,
It’s Potioner-approved — and perfectly mending!
But take care, dear mortals, when magic’s at play,
For not every trick ends quite the right way... 🫣

The curtain falls, the candle’s dim,
The Potioner smiles — and vanishes within.
Until next Halloween, when the Dispen-Scary stirs again... 🕯️💀

Thank you to everyone who joined in the frightful fun this Halloween — from ghoulish giggles to potion pandemonium, the Dispen-Scary has never looked better!

Until next year… 🕯️💀

🕯️🎃 The Final Night of the 12 Nights of Halloween

The Dispen-scary is still at last.
Only two vials remain on the Potioner’s bench — one glowing green, the other a soft moonlit blue.

She looks over her work — twelve nights of strange remedies, spectral cures, and supernatural mischief — and smiles.

Tonight, her story ends with two final creations.

---

🌿 ELIX-A-LIFE

Reawakens even the most tired mortals.
Restores vitality to those who’ve seen too many haunted midnights.
One sip, and even the shadows stir again.
(Use wisely — effects may include optimism.)

---

🌙 DREEM-ON

For nightmares that overstay their welcome.
Soothes restless minds and haunted dreams.
Take before the witching hour. Sleep peacefully, at last.

---

The Potioner closes her ledger,
sets her lantern by the door,
and whispers with a smile
"The spirits can rest now"

🎵 Final Verse — The 12 Nights Complete

On the twelfth night of Halloween,
The Potioner’s work was done,
Two vials gleamed upon her bench—
Her magic lingered on.

One spark to wake the living,
One dream to soothe them on,
The Dispen-scary sleeps at last...
Beneath the spell of Dreem-On.

---

And with that, the shelves go quiet,
the candles flicker low,
and the Potioner finally takes her rest.

Thank you for joining us at the Dispen-Scary through The 12 Nights of Halloween. 🎃✨

The Potioner will return!
