 * takes a deep breath*

I must say, it feels good to be back to adventuring. I tell you, that vacation was far too long. And while I did enjoy the comforts of the Shire, there was far too much out there in Middle-Earth for me too ignore! So, I packed my bags, and set off on the road again...

Though, I will always remember the comfort of the hobbit hole I stayed at. Warm fires, plenty to read, and good people. Such joy is hard to come by in the world today.

But, if there is one thing my adventures have taught me, it is to always seek to improve something! In my travels I had heard of many different amenities, and couldn't help but feel as though if the halflings had known of these, they would certainly implement them...

Candlestick - A simple implement to compliment any home, these, so I heard, are made from a single ingot of metal (I hear iron, bronze, and precious metals serve best), with atop a candle. Now, I have not seen many candlemakers out there in Middle-Earth, but I think merchants would be able to stock them, no? The best part of a candlestick is the simple ability to place it anywhere one could a torch, but then be able to simply snuff the flame to quell the light.

Candle - A small wax candle, most commonly in white, but I have heard of people dying them. Now, since not many beehives seem to be around as of late, I imagine making them would be quite impossible as things stand now. Simply buying them from merchants seems the most common way to aquire them, just don't question how they get them...

Portraits - These simple 1x block paintings are silhouettes of family of the current residence. I recall Mr. Baggins having portraits of his mother and father above his mantleplace, but I would not doubt Dwarves and Gondorians having their own versions as well.

Of course, the implements do not end then, but I will not regail more now. I am already beginning to miss the place, but there is far more to do and to see out there in the world! I am already nearing the Misty Mountains, and such an arduous crossing will surely be an adventure of the ages! Wish me luck!
