Exit the house then make your way to the doorway next to the blue flower to find the shop!
Once you’re done shopping, head up the stairs and enter the first house to find essence of Stoked Flame and a Magnus: Pot of Air. Interact with the Elder to hear her tale then exit the house. Just before exiting, examine the plants on the west side of the exit to find a Magnus: Cedar Tree.
