This post is an attempt to help people who are stuck in the game and want some vague direction/hints on the puzzle order without getting full on spoilers. Note that I will be naming the puzzles based on how to solve them, so there will be light spoilers. Just not how to solve them. Just which ones they are. Consider them hints.
If the hints aren’t enough, feel free to check my youtube Tales from Candleforth Walkthrough Playlist:

There are 3 main puzzles you’ll solve in this chapter. Each one will provide a piece for the mirror.
The first puzzle uses the tree pictures and the music box.
The second puzzle is requires the first puzzle to be completed because you need what’s in the music box. But get the note from the desk and figure out how to open the cabinet in the office, and then do the bottle puzzle.
The third puzzle is the vine puzzle in the sewing room.
Now do the mirror.
