“Anti-grue candles” for sale (regular candles, handwritten label)

Close-up photo inside a tiny village shop: a cluttered counter with jars of sweets, local jam, and a small display of plain white candles. Each candle has a slightly crooked handwritten label reading “ANTI-GRUE CANDLE” in marker. Shopkeeper Nellie Crumb’s hands (or partial figure) can be included, offering one candle with earnestness. Lighting warm and cosy to contrast the story’s darkness.
