Where did Gandalf live?

I was always under the impression (though I can't back it up with any passages) that the Dwarves, specifically those of the lonely mountain, created the fireworks and other trinkets, which Gandalf eagerly collected in his travel. I would assume that his fireworks were often augmented with elven magic and charms of his own

Why not? I can easily see Gandalf, resting by his campfire while on the long road, sitting back and meditating on the "bigger picture" while tinkering with his fireworks...

Being in Middle-earth for that length of time would be like going out for an afternoon's hike to an Ainu.

I guess I can comment now, though Gandalf's fireworks is always something I took a special interest in...you know me and my pyrotechnic connections.

Gandalf's fireworks I've always assumed had to of been in some way magically enhanced, as there is no way we have the chemical capability or knowledge to make a huge stinkin' mountain or a flying dragon. I mean heck, my company is struggling trying to make such a simple design as a Walmart smiley face. Think about making a huge mountain and a dragon would be like?

Therefor Gandalf's fireworks probably was gunpowder as Gandalf says 'I can't melt snow,' he has to have an object to work with, it can't just be some energy mass of magic. But his magic enhances in this case the entertainment purposes to make really styling and complex fireworks.
