Where do you think would be a potential homeland for falflings? Faerun mostly seems to be settled already. . .

Luiren, where they already live. 
And Ed commented that the Five Shires can be easily dropped into Luiren...

Sure. Superimpose the Luiren cities and government structure, shift places "just a little" to make room for them, and, yes, it works admirably for that. Almost as if someone designed it that way. ;}

I'm not aware of what the "Five Shires" are. What are you referring to? Are there five shires in the Lord of the Rings?
But in the description of Cyrrollalee it implies her faithful are searching for a place outside of Luiren. I don't really see any place...unless it would be on another less densely populated continent? (Mirroring European colonization in the Americas in our world.) |

The Five Shires is a supplement for the Known World of D&D. It's an Ed-written sourcebook about a halfling nation in that setting.
It's also not the easiest thing to find, and Ed told me there were some mistakes made during its publishing run (like pages being upside-down or repeated). I was lucky to find a unflawed copy in good condition for a reasonable price. |

Luiren, where they already live.
Races of Faerūn also offered some locations where significant concentrations of halflings could be found across the Realms. |

| Well, according to the Hearthkeeper's entry in Demihuman Deities, one major place of worship is the Grapevine's Root within the Purple Hills of Tethyr, which in itself is a center of worship within a halfling community called Vineshade in that same area. |
