Well, a family gathering for a sister&#8217;s birthday, which turned into a family reunion, which morphed into a Thanksgiving celebration, all against the backdrop and initial kickoff event of Mary McDonald&#8217;s Book Signing at Tara Shaw Maison on Camp Street.<\/p>\n<p>Although this was a public event, we had been invited to attend when meeting up with Tara and her staff at <a title=\"Previous Post on High Point Market - Louisiana Connection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/highlights-of-high-point-the-louisiana-connection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">High Point Market<\/a>. When we arrived, we were not the only ones waiting. We weren&#8217;t surprised. Why would we want to be the only ones to meet the mysterious interior designer, Mary McDonald, known for her celebrity status on Bravo&#8217;s<a title=\"Million Dollar Decorators\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bravotv.com\/million-dollar-decorators\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> Million Dollar Decorator<\/em><\/a> series? She&#8217;s very intriguing and talented.<\/p>\n<p>I brought along my son Jackson Spencer, an aspiring young film and photography, art buff, so he could take some candid photos and document the event in pictures. The credit and thanks goes to him for most of these &#8212; the ones with the duotone look. I think he did a wonderful job for capturing the &#8220;allure&#8221; of the event for the book signing for, <em>Mary McDonald Interiors, The Allure of Style.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7311\" style=\"width: 323px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7311\" title=\"Tara-Shaw1_casartblog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Tara-Shaw1_casartblog.jpg\" alt=\"Tara-Shaw Maison_casartblog\" width=\"323\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Tara-Shaw1_casartblog.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Tara-Shaw1_casartblog-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tara Shaw Maison &#8211;
