Homegoods, How I Love YOU!
{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!

Hi,
I’m a Home Goods groupie too. I’d use the gift card to help my Mom decorate her new apartment in the retirement community!
LOVE Homegoods-probably frequent there a bit too often! But have my eye on some throw pillows to coordinate with my bedding and a lamp or two to add to my master bedroom! Loved all the pictures-looks like y’all had a blast!
I have been searching for the perfect side table for my screened in porch. I’m also planning a kitchen re-do including paint & fun, unique items over the cabinets. This would be a great gift for my *ahem* significant birthday this summer! P.S. My hubby is from the Tucker area.
Not sure what I would buy. But could sure use the fun of looking
I must have one of their new 8×11 rugs that I can layer w/ a 9×12 sisal. They have the most beautiful neutral rugs right now. AND, I have been eyeing their outdoor pillows. Oh, how to decide!!!
I am about to redo my office and am looking for an area rug, new desk chair (one a chair I can turn into a desk chair) and assorted fun accessories.
Dishes! I just can’t get enough dishes lately! That shopping spree looked like sooo much fun!
I always have to hit the kitchenware first, sorry just a habit, but I really am looking for some great stuff for the deck to make it pop for the summer. I love the whole store and never leave until I go thru the all the aisles. I can’t resist a good buy and they are always overflowing with them. Love it!
I would get something for my bedroom. I only have a bed and one nightside, so I would definitely look for something to fill out my room.
We don’t have any Home Goods stores where I live but I hear rumors that one is opening about 30 miles from here. Have car will travel to shop at Home Goods. If I won a gift card, I would be on the look out for a cute lamp for my den because the one in there now is strictly utilitarian, a rug for my den because the one I have now is too dark or I would use the card towards the purchase of a new chair for my den. Trust me. I would have absolutely no problemo spending the entire amount in one trip to the store. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Rhoda, what wouldn’t I buy?
Thanks for sharing your fun shopping spree! I LOVE HomeGoods! I have two projects underway – our master bath and our sunroom. I would use the giftcard to buy accessories, pillows, maybe a rug. But, since I am a lamp girl too, I might end up with a beautiful lamp instead!! You never know what you’ll fine in HG.
I need a chair . . . just one accent chair to fill up a drab spot in my bedroom!
Who doesn’t like HomeGoods? I love it and can shop in there for hours. Here’s what I do when I go in, I just have an open mind and let the items allow me to grab them and put the in my cart. I do show restraint but it’s so much fun to see and touch all the items and then find that treasure(s) that I have been wanting but didn’t know it until I see it!!!
Hi Rhoda, We have a new HomeGoods that just opened last Friday…so exciting! I am hoping to redo our bedroom and I saw the most gorgeous duvet at HG. This would be a great start to transforming the room.
xo,
Sherry
I am redoing my bedroom using red and turquoise, have plenty of red but need turquoise accessories!
I’d love to find some pretty lamps for my bedroom makeover! Thanks for the chance!
I am in the middle of a kitchen re-do! Painting is done, now it’s time for the fun part – window treatments and decorating!
I would love to get an area rug for my dining room!
Hey Rhoda
I desperately need some lamps for my master bedroom. Homegoods always has a great selection!
Love Homegoods-go to them whenever we travel! I would use my 100 dollars to buy a new rug for my son’s bedroom redo- they always have such a great selection. thanxs for the chance to win!! Sharon
Oh–I really like those Waverly tablecloths that Sandy found! I would look for something similar to that, and I’d also look for cushions for my outdoor furniture. Thanks for the giveaway, Rhoda!
I have never been to Homegoods! I’ve been wanting to go though. I’m looking for a small side table for the den.
Oh, my!
What would I buy?
I’d just have to see what catches my eye!
I just bought a house and am in need of new patio furniture for our awesome covered deck!
Home Goods…how did I ever survive without one! I would use the $100 to buy a new tea kettle for my MOM and the remainder for some new summery bathroom towels! You gotta love Home Goods!
Love Love HomeGoods!!! What a WOW day!!!!!! I would be making a BEE LINE straight to the bed linens!!! Gorgeous things!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Rhoda!!!!!! Terri
I would love new bedding. My favorite quilt if falling apart and something new would really spiff up my bedroom!
Yahooie! A great giveaway! What DON’T I love at HomeGoods???!!!!! I found one incredible mirror there 10 days ago to help with a guest bath re-do and am on the lookout for another one to update the vanity area in the master suite! Would LOVE to win!!!! Thank you for hosting, Rhoda!
I’d love to have a gift card from Home Goods! I am on the hunt for a cute chair for my hallway office space!
our store in Richmond is only about a year old — it’s always an adventure to go to HomeGoods — so happy we have a store here!
PILLLLLOOOOWWWWSSS!!! I love me some pillows to change the look of any room!
We’re re-doing our bathrooms, would love to stock up on some great new bed and bath items. Thanks so much, looks like you gals had a great time!

I would buy accessories for the space between my kitchen cabinets and ceiling..and one thing would be one of those white jars!!
Oh let me count the ways….to spend $100 at my VERY favorite store. I am looking for some chairs and a new rug for our dining room! And those white vases you love and wish someone would buy, I have two of them in gray from Home Good Store! Bought them a couple of years ago!
I would buy a few more items to finish off my Rhoda inspired home office. It is lime green with black and white accents
I could really use a lamp and a few more baskets to organize things.
We just moved into a new house, so it will be easy for me to find a way to spend the gift card!
i was just in there today! i LOVE homegoods! they had some beautiful lamps that i would love to have – a girl can never have too many lamps!
I know exactly what I would purchase. I am redoing my living & dining room. I am in need of new side tables, lamps & wall acessories. I always find something fun to buy at Home Goods. What a dream to win a gift card & to be “forced” to shop. With all the great prices, I know my money would go far.
Believe it or not, I have never been to Home Goods! There is one about 30 miles from my house. If I won, I would look for a couple of floor lamps. My fingers are crossed!
I would love to make a special trip to Homegoods to do some shopping! I can’t even imagine where I would begin! I’d like to redo my living room and update it. I’m especially looking for sofa covers (not sure if Homegoods carries those?)…but then new towels and accessories for the bathroom would be nice too! So many choices!!!
I’d love to get some new lamps for our master bedroom.
OH MY…. What an awesome giveaway. No one has trouble spending $$$$$$ at HomeGoods!
I’d buy some new things for my bathroom…. or, for my kitchen….. or for my living room?… 
So many things to choose from, right?
Warm blessings,
Spencer
What would I buy with the $100 gift card? That is such a hard question since I WANT IT ALL. lol But most likely some new cake stands I love the selection they have and how affordable they are.
I tweeted about the giveaway

I’ve been to HomeGoods twice this week and didn’t leave empty handed either time! I’d LOVE to win this gift card! One can never have too many pretty things!
Browsing Homegoods is my “happy place”! I would use the gift card to stock up on towels and linens for our new cottage in Michigan! Thanks for the chance to win!
Being laid off in September, Hip replacement after that with complications, and still in limbo, I would use the gift card to get some bakeware and bedding. Money is tight, I am baking for extra pennies, and I Adore Homegoods!! They have everything and anything you could ever wish for to beautify your home and brighten your soul!!!
Love your blog. Would really appreciate getting some linens. My husband and I are on a fixed (teacher’s retirement) income. I have to eeeek out my pennies but my sister is coming for a visit and the sheets are very worn out. Would just love to purchase some crisp white linen I saw in Homegoods. You know, ones without anyone else’s droool on them.
Tee Hee!
I’d buy something to decorate the fireplace mantle.

We haven’t lived near a Home Goods for the past 3 years, but before that I shopped there every chance I got! We’re redoing our Master Bedroom and I’m in need of EVERYTHING!! Bedding, window treatments, lamps, end tables, chairs, throws, baskets, other accessories…oh the list could go on! And, a new store just opened up near my in-laws’ house. I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this card! Thanks for doing a giveaway!
Some summer bedding or a new rug. Thanks for the opportunity.
I just blogged about it.
Hi! I am hooked on HomeGoods!!! It’s probably a good thing I don’t have one around the corner from my house (or office) of I’d be BROKE! Right now I am looking for a perfect ottoman to go with the chair I got there years ago, as well as beachy decor. I also collect cake plates, so I’m a sucker for those, too!
Thanks so much!!!
Dianne
I could do some real damage with this gift card. Or I would at least try to anyway. Heres to me winning!
Rashon aka Mr. Goodwill Hunting
Rhoda
I love to look for whiteware but I can hardly limit myself to one area when I am in Homegoods. Love their store. Sending blessings to you.
I work very near the new Tucker Home Goods…which is dangerous for my wallet!! I’m in there all the time on my lunch break! If I win (pick me! pick me!) I’ll get some of their great pots and outdoor stuff for my porch makeover!
Great giveaway! I’m such a Homegoods fan. I’d buy some new lamps!
I LOVE Homegoods. Not sure what I would get as each time I go for something in particular, I end up with other things I had no idea I needed. I guess I would get some cooking supplies or dishes as right now I am really into cooking/baking.
I was at home goods yesterday in my neck of the woods & I saw a few dining chairs I really loved! I’ll cross my fingers & toes that I win!! woohoo! Thanks for the chance! xoxo’s nancy
I am about to move in to my (new to me) home and would like to create a new relaxing space. Home Goods is almost always the first place I go when looking for something for my home.
We just completed our deck and patio area and now it is time to decorate both areas….this would be perfect
My 16 year old wants to redo her room and I ‘ve been wanting to head to HG to look for bed linens as our staring point. Love, love, love that store.
A new rug for my family room. Home Goods is one of my favorite place to shop, just wish it was a little closer to home:) Sure my husband is glad it is far away…
I would buy some new table linens for summer, a couple of outdoor cushions and I would look through the clearance area for finds.
I would love to win this gift card to buy some new throw pillows for the sofa in my living room!
I would love a new rug for my kitchen! Something with a little bit of punch. It is in need of a much needed makeover!

I have most of my rooms just the way I want them, but I’m always looking for things to give them a little extra bump! In the meantime, I’m doing a huge garden project in my back yard, so need things to decorate it with; outdoor tables and chairs, garden ornaments, etc… So that’s likely what I’d buy with my $100!

Hey! I blogged about the giveaway at Sincerely, Leigh (http://thecarolinaclarks.blogspot.com/2011/06/get-on-home-goods-train.html)
I’d buy pillows for my couch to add some color to my boring boring boring living room that has NO color at all.
Wow what a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win $100 worth of great home stuff. I would like to think that I could go to Home Goods and come away with only one thing but I don’t know if that is possible
I have been working on the “curb appeal” of our home and have a wonderful space for an iron bistro table and chairs.
Cristine
I would probably buy lamps. I am redoing our bedroom.
Oh! Please! Let me win! I need $100 to spend at Home Goods!
Hi! HomeGoods is the best! I was shopping there over the weekend with my sister. Recent events have forced her to start over. She moved into a new condo over the weekend and needs a lot of finishing touches. We found a few things, but the bath, Master and Guest bedrooms and Kitchen still need to be completed; all the windows need curtains, and she needs rugs for the tile floors. HomeGoods has definately been my favorite place to shop for home decor, and she loved it too! I would love to win the gift card and give it to my sister to help her start over and complete her new home! Thanks for the opportunity!
I need things for my kitchen, living room and bathroom…..so winning this gift card would be a real blessing! Even patio chair cushions would be something I need too. Many thanks for the chance to win!!!
