Pine Cones for Christmas

There was a Christmas market today at the hotel where my parents are staying. They have one every year at the end of November, which I find a tiny bit early, but we go there every year all the same. I usually buy a decoration or two, if I can find some that look nice. In a stand, they were selling among other things hand made pine cones meant to be like Christmas tree baubles. I thought they would make a nice addition to our Christmas tree, so I bought two of them, because they were two for five pounds. So here they are, to put you in the spirit of the season.
