Balancing Act

A few months ago I found these brass justice scales in a thrift store. 

I had been looking for a pair ever since I saw this room by Emily Henderson.

They are fun to play with but I also just like the look of them.

But what I really like about them is what they represent.

Paul is a Libra so the scales are his sign and he definitely embodies the traits of a Libra: balance-seeking, fair, accomodating, likeable and willing to compromise; dislikes cruelty, viciousness and conflict. 

I read a quote about Libras recently that said "They always make you feel better for having been with them" which is exactly how I feel about Paul.

He is the much-needed balance in my life. While I know it is not always an easy job, it is one that he does very well and I am thankful for it.

I have been looking for one of these forever! Do you think my best luck is to find it in a thrift store?

Hi Lilla - Definitely look in thrift stores. I see them all the time. Sometimes they can be pretty expensive but every now and then I see a reasonably priced set. Good luck!
