{GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED}
Bright and early on a recent Saturday morning, 6 friends and I took off for a local Homegoods in the Tucker area. We were chattering and talking like school girls, excited about our field trip to the shopping mecca called Homegoods.
Not a stranger to Homegoods, I have been a huge fan for many years and sing their praises every chance I get. This store truly is one of my top shopping destinations when I’m buying retail. You can get more bang for your buck in home decor at Homegoods than just about any other store I know.
We arrived plenty early before the doors were opened, but that was fine with us. We had lots to chat about. 
Mom and new blog friend, Lori, waiting for the doors to open.
Susan brought along her outdoor pillow she found at Home Depot, to find some cushions for her new wicker set. We are getting ready to redo Susan’s back deck very soon and these will be gorgeous. 
Debbie (who owns the beautiful screened porch I just featured), me and my long time friend, Ruby. I love these ladies! They have been with me through thick and thin. You can see by the smiles we were all ready for our shopping spree.
In we went to a beautiful breakfast spread. What a treat that was! 
I finally got to meet Jenny Lauck with BlogHer (foreground in black), after emailing with her over the years. Those BlogHer girls are great too! That’s my friend, Sandy, there to the left. 
Mary with Homegoods corporate in Massachusetts welcomed us with a wonderful hello. Giftcards were handed out and off we went to the races! 
Lauren, Debbie’s daughter, came along for the shopping spree. We all grabbed a cart to fill.
Lakeitha found some beautiful lamps. I’m a lamp girl too!
Susan found some lime green cushions to go on her brown wicker set, along with some pretty accent pieces.
Hanging around waiting to shop more.
Sweet friend, Sandy, was here this weekend for BlogHer Food and I was so glad we got to meet up and visit. Love this girl too!
So, what did I use my $100 to shop for? I’m going to be redoing my bathroom at my parent’s house and found some great things to start the inspiration, using the avocado tiles and aqua countertops. It’s going to be a great redo too!
Ruby is working on a new bedroom plan and this rug caught her eye. She had me come over and approve it. Yes, yes! Get it!
I spied a few more things that caught my eye, which is not hard to do at Homegoods.
Aren’t these cute little side tables?
I thought someone just had to buy these, they were so pretty. Turns out Lauren bought one!
This $99 side table was so cute too! It’s hard to pass up all the cuteness at Homegoods.
Deep blue and white chairs were gorgeous! 
These linens were too.
Sandy found some great linens to entertain with. After all, she is the queen of entertaining. We all need to take some lessons from Sandy.
My friend, Debbie, found some black and white to add to her pretty porch this summer.
Here’s my shopping gang: (L to R) Mom, Debbie, Lauren, me, Ruby, Heidi, and Susan. You can tell by the smiles that fun was had by all.
Thank you Homegoods for making this day such a special treat for all of us. I’m so happy to be included among the bloggers who were offered this shopping spree for a few of our friends.
This was one of the funnest (I know this is not a real word!) days I’ve had in a long time!

I would purchase the cute frog that Susan had in her basket!!!!!!
Oh how I’d love to win! I really need an area rug for our bedroom. Whenever I visit HomeGoods I can ALWAYS find something! ::Jill
What a great giveaway! I’m on the hunt for some cute new decorations for my patio. I know Homegoods has lots of stuff that would be perfect!! 🙂
Wish we had a Homegoods here, but I have no problem road-tripping! My next project will be a makeover of our master bedroom, so something for that (linens? pillows? accessories?) would be great!
What a fun day, I wish our Homegoods would sponsor a blogger day here!!! It is easy for me to figure out what I want. I need two matching mirrors for my Summer Family room re-do!!! Thank you for the chance to win, fingers crossed, Kathysue
Ok, what would I buy? Dishes, maybe. Lamps, definitely. Pillows, oh yeah. The thing about HomeGoods is that everything is take-home worthy. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a fantastic giveaway! I always find something great at Homegoods! I would buy something special for my guest room. Maybe an area rug or pretty lamp. Hope I win!
Wow Rhoda, that looks like a REALLY NICE HomeGoods store and I’d say everyone found some great items to take home!
HomeGoods is my favorite store for home furnishings and decor. I rarely leave there empty-handed, especially since I am trying to furnish our new home. You name it and I probably still need it…lamps, baskets, furniture, throw pillows, a rug or two, artwork, decor items for our front porch etc. A gift card would be a wonderful help and I really appreciate the opportunity to be entered into this giveaway. Thanks!
I love HomeGoods! The closest one is 2 hours away, but I try to get there as much as possible. I really want a chair for a reading corner I’m making in our living room. I keep seeing cute chairs at HomeGoods, but never in the right colors.
What do I not need? I recently became friends with Homegoods (ie moved to an area where there was one) and am moving into a brand new house soon. SO much decorating to be done and I know where I’ll be getting most of it!
The closest HomeGoods store to me is the one in Myrtle Beach which I have to hit every time I go to the beach. I am beginning to refresh my front porch by adding outdoor curtains and more decorative items. I’m sure HomeGoods would have everything I need.Thanks for this opportunity and I can’t wait to see how you redo your bathroom.
Oh, HomeGoods, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways!! I think I am in that place at least twice a week – and it’s at least a 30 min. drive one way!!! I just bought a very cool wood/iron piece that I am using for a twin headboard in my guest room – I am in mad search of decorative pillows to go with it, and well, don’t even get me started on the wonderfulness of HG’s pillow selection. Thanks bunches for offering this awesome giveaway opportunity!!! (P.S. – your blog was the first I ever stumbled upon, and boy oh boy, what I world I found!)
I would buy two bedside lamps. I am desperately in need of them to complete my bedroom.
I am in desperate need of some rugs! I have hardwood floors and NO rugs! Can you believe it! I hope I win! : )
Wahooo… I am in love with Home Goods and no matter what I go in for, I cannot help but pass though the lamp section, hanging rugs and the pillow isle 🙂 I’d probably use this gift card for some new sofa cushions and accessories for the top of my (newly painted – the kitchen, not the cabinets) kitchen cabinets! Crossing my fingers BIG time! Thanks Rhoda!!!
I love Homegoods and I desperately want to re-do my dining room. I would purchase dining room chair cushions, a table runner, curtain rod(s), curtains and of course accessories with my gift card.. Thats after I paint! I hope I win! I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Home goods is my go to store! Have to ration trips because I always walk out with something! Have purchased various pots for my courtyard this spring. Cannot beat the prices! Bought a mirror and cabinet last week! Love the place so I am sure I could spend the gift card in no time!
I adore HomeGoods! It’s definitely my go to store when I’m looking to re-decorate and spruce up rooms in my place.
I’m currently working on revamping my outdoor deck/patio and would love to use the gift card to purchase some accessories for this space!
There’s actually a HomeGoods near where I work and I have been known to go there on my lunch breaks and spend wayy too much money 😉
Aah! I love HomeGoods! I’m heading there after work to get vases for my wishing tree for my wedding in 10 days! I’d buy new lamps for my new (tiny) living room that my soon-to-be husband and I are moving into!
