The witches cottage has a huge cauldron in the middle of the cottage. There are shelves of glass jars that have things like spider legs, dragon toe nails, and fairy wings.  The floor is a dirt floor and the roof is made of wooden brooms.

witch
mouse
I am a brown mouse. I live in a barn with my best friend, Horse. I like to hide from him in the hay.
Squeak!  I guess I will just have to get the broom then and shoo it away. Squeak! I mean no harm.  Is that so? But you are in my cottager are you not? I only seek shelter. I will not disturb your potion making.  So I see. For the record I am not crazy, I just talk to inanimate objects. I am a talking mouse. I don't think that's strange at all.  Oh I meant when I talked to the shelves, everyone always assumes I'm nuts. Oh, I figured the shelves were enchanted. But I guess not.  Oh no, normal shelves. The only spell I ever learned was to speak to inanimate objects...yeah. Interesting. So only you can hear them speak back? Well yeah as I am the one with that spell learnt. It is not awfully common.
