Write a detailed description of a spooky scene outside a town shop with dried herbs, cobbles, and a window.

Intriguing bottles of unguents, ointments, and salves are jammed on one shop's display shelving, along with bundles of dried herbs and potted plants. An odd scent -- not quite something burning, not quite something rotting, and not quite something fresh -- curdles the air near the shop. One of the more pricey bundles of dried herbs hanging in the window looks suspiciously like a clump of weeds growing between the cobbles near the gutter.
