{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.

I LOVE Home Goods! Furniture! They have some great stuff!
Those blue and white chairs were darling. I would love those.
I have been wanting one of their jeweled, tiered serving trays and would use the gift for a set of those.
Homegoods is my favorite store. I would
buy new lamps fpr my bedroom and charcoal grey rug.
Looks like y’all had SO MUCH FUN! Can’t wait to see that bathroom come together. Thanks for sharing in the goodness with this giveaway. I NEED to buy a pair of lamps, but I’d probably end up buying table linens, because they are my weakness!
You’ve inspired me to do a deck re-do. Just about everything is in place. I just need some accent pieces.
Im a huge fan of Home Goods…I mean really who isn’t? Right now I would probably buy some outdoor accessories for my porch and deck to add to what I already have going on. red-white-blue-turquoise-black

So I’m almost on a first-name basis with the cashiers at my neighborhood Homegoods and visit the 4 in my area on a weekly (by weekly I mean 1-2 times a week) basis to get inspiration and buy goodies when I can :O)
I would spend the gift card on much needed accessories (you name it, we need it) for our living room..thanks for the opportunity!
WOW…..what a blast you guys had and YES I LOVE that store !!! I could use a new lamp, towels, cushions….LOL you get the idea !!!
Thanks for the chance….
Kathy 🙂
I love Homegoods! I would spend the money on a much needed side table or a new lamp. 🙂
Hooray for fun shopping trips!
Home Goods is my secret obsession. We have one close to my place of business and when it’s hot in the summer (which is now) I love to take my lunch hour and check out all the new items. It’s so easy to spend an hour looking at all the goodies. I’m currently on the hunt for a new kitchen rug and other accessories to go with my newly painted sage green kitchen. But I also saw some great glassware last week. Please, please help me fund my obsession. 🙂
It has been a while since I have visited HomeGoods. I could use some throw pillows for my porch furniture, as well as some gifts for summer birthdays.
Love the store, linens for bedroom, bath and kitchen. The dog has a habit of pulling my dish towels out of laundry, so they need replaced often:)
Homegoods is my all time most favorite store! Thankfully, a store is located near my home and I am there frequently. They ALWAYS have the latest and greatest in home dec and I can find exactly what I want (and more)! I love to look at the dishes, pillows and lamps. Their accessories are always the best, too. It’s so hard to narrow it down to one or two favorite departments in the store. Thanks Rhoda!
