Smith of Wootton Major in Middle Earth?

[littlemanpoet]

I've been reading a chapter a day (more or less) in The Hobbit and I came across the following aside where the wood-elves are introduced: speaking of the wood-elves:

They differed from the High Elves of the West, and were more dangerous and less wise. For most of them (together with their scattered relations in the hills and mountains) were descended from the ancient tribes that never went to Faerie in the West. There the Light-elves and the Deep-elves and the Sea-elves went and lived for ages, and grew fairer and wiser and more learned, and invented their magic and their cunning craft in the making of beautiful and marvellous things, before some came back into the Wide World

So the Light-elves are the Vanyar, the Deep-elves are the Noldor, and the Sea-elves are the Teleri.

But that's not my main point in bringing up the quote: Valinor is called Faerie!

Way out on a limb here, but it's a nice limb .... .... suppose the Star gave Smith the unique permission to go to Valinor!
