The latest instalment in the 'Lord of the Rings' franchise, 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' is set to hit theaters mid-December, which people can celebrate with the Hobbit Home Terrarium. A lush diorama fit for fans of both the books and the films, the Terrarium is the spitting image of the inviting Shire abode.
Created by Philadelphia-based Rachel of the Etsy shop Faces of the Earth, the Hobbit Home Terrarium joins her Movie Miniatures series, which includes a tribute to Beetlejuice as well as a Zombie Apocalyspe scene. Picturesque and serene, unlike the latter reference, the Hobbit Home Terrarium is a dead-on depiction of Bilbo Baggins' round and cozy house. It would make a great office ornament.
