and no apologies needed! I had wanted to post something about the Dwarves, but all these amazing responses have me pleasantly sidetracked!
I think it is very appropriate to bring in Third Age material. As squire posted earlier, The Silmarilion is somewhat thin in spots and there is a bit of retrofitting going on. To make heads or tails of it, we do need to look outside it. I also think your connection is inspired because what Tolkien is writing about in The Silmarilion is meant to have an affect on all the other tales and texts. This is supposed to be the beginning of all things Middle-earth, so what goes on here should be connected to the stories which chronologically happen later.
And let's hope Yavanna was paying attention when her Ents saved the day in Isengard! Personally, I'm hoping she opened the door to Aule's smithy and yelled "toldeth thou so!!"

Some passages are to be found in the original Silmarillion, and others ent, as you might say
