{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.

Oh, how I love Home Goods! I need some new pillows to freshen up the family room sofas. I’m also working on a gallery wall in that room too, so I could use some more things to hang on that wall.
I haven’t been to home goods yet, but I’m dying to go. I would love to get some new lamps for my bedroom re-do
I could satisfy my weakness for new dishes, no – outdoor accessories, or maybe a rug for the living room —- Maybe I’ll just wait until I get to Home Good’s and decide!
Wow—this is a fabulous offer! Count me in!
definitely my bedroom
Just redecorated my dining room. Looking for accessories in white/yellow/green. Could also use new accent pillows for living room.
What a generous giveaway! My husband and I just bought our first house and got married last month. We’re in the process of trying to decorate our bedroom with some table lamps, and beachy accents. Our room currently has the temporary paper blinds and isn’t decorated at all. We’re on a very tight budget so of course that has to stay on hold for a while while getting a roof and windows fixed are our top priority. I’d love to be able to have a mini shopping spree for fun things! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!

Oh, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HomeGoods! I try to go there at least every other week. I am looking for the perfect picture and pillows for my living room to make it look more summery (is that a word?). And a rug for my dining room! And if that bedding you featured in one of your photos is available here, I think it will work PERFECT in my guest room. Love it! WOW! I need that $100 gift certificate! LOL! Thank you for the chance to win! Blessings,
Homegoods is my favorite store. there’s 1 Homegoods near my work and 1 that is closer to home. I’m at one of them each week. can’t get enough of them, and they are always displaying new items.
My newest project is a redo on our bedroom. We had water damage in the ceiling, so once my husband finishes the ceiling, I’ll be painting the walls and changing linens, decor accessories, etc.
Oh Rhoda, I love homegoods…I would buy a lamp for my living room, and probably some decor items for the walls in my bedroom..doesn’t take long to spend $100! thanks for offering this to us!

What a great giveaway. Definitely would love some new linens from Homegoods!
Ohh! If I had the money to spend in YOUR Homegoods I would buy two of those cute white side tables you showed. They are adorable and would work perfectly in my new living room!
I love Homegoods, also!
Looking for a rug for my morning room!
Thanks for the give away, R!!
With $100 homegoods shopping spree I would look for a new rug for our bedroom (my master diaster!)
I tweeted your giveaway 🙂 From @SusieQuips http://bit.ly/jyeOCm
Actually looking for 2 things – I’m looking for a smallish unusual chair to put in a corner of my dining room. I don’t want the usual chair – would love something shaped like a barber’s chair, but not that big.
Or, maybe some polka-dot dishes….
Love all the pics Rhoda!
I would buy lamps. I need a floor lamp bad!
Accessories for a black & white & green guest room: throw pillows, coverlets, candles, wall sconces, lamps, a chandelier, etc. 🙂 Shopping with girlfriends, all carrying giftcards, looks like a blast! It made me smile to see the photos and the fun.
Need pillows and accessories for new living room–a gift card would be fantastic!!
I would use it to purchase a new rug for my dining room!
