I may be too late in posting this, but I found these cute houses at Target during the holidays.
I am just now getting back on to the computer because we have been without power ...off and on ...for Thanksgiving AND Christmas! ugh!
We even opened our Christmas presents with the lights on the tree plugged into a car battery.
These little houses are quite sturdy, and have a string on top to hang on your tree.
One interesting thing I noticed, is that they had holes in the bottom of the base; smaller holes to accomodate smaller lights used now days.
Hopefully you may be able to find some too!!

Here are a few more photos

and the bottom

I like the chenille roping along the roof--sorry to hear about your lack of electricity-----arghhhhhhhh

Thanks Maria! We live out on Lake Coeur d'Alene in North Idaho. We are used to power issues, but the timing was horrible! No cookies baked this year...
