{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.

One of my favorite stores. Would use it to decorate my daughter’s apartment at college this fall.
I really want those dark blue and white chairs you featured here. Gorgeous! We just moved to a new town and new home so I have about a hundred projects that Homegoods could furnish…starting with my dining room (which currently sits empty – gasp!)
Love Homegoods! I would buy either a side table for my reading nook or some accessories for my living room.

I’d buy some new throw pillows for my sofa! I love Homegoods!
I would probably get new towels and accessories for my bathrooms or new curtains for my living room, but that could always change once I get there!
I would buy pillows and lamps:)
I tweeted this!

I would buy what ever took my fancy which is not hard to do at Homegoods. I bought so much at the Sarasota store that it cost me $94 to ship it home to Ohio. There is never a problem for me to spend money at Homegoods. My youngest just got a new apaprtment and could use some decorating help in her bedroom.
Oh how I love HomeGoods!! I am in the process of changing somethings in the formal living room, just got a new sofa that needs pillows. Also need new window treatments so this$ 100.oo shopping spree would come in handy
I have to drive 160 miles to the closest HomeGoods Store, but it is always worth the drive, Please ask the Homegoods Gods to put a store in my area.
I am currently obsessed with HomeGoods and could shop there every day! We bought our first home just last year, and there is still a ton of things we would like to redo/upgrade/redecorate/furnish etc. You name it. Virtually all our rooms (except for maybe the deck which we get to use a whole lot in the summer) are in need of some beautiful things. Some thing beachy for the guestroom, new accent pillows in the master bedroom, curtains in our son’s room, you name it. I could go on an on! Am already looking forward to my next HG trip!
I would like to buy a new lamp or table for a bedroom redo. The nearest Home Goods to my town is 3 hours north or south so it would be fun to win!! I could take my honey and have a weekend get away just so I could spend my prize!!
LOVE HomeGoods. It’s a two hour drive for me, but well worth the trip! I’m searching for some vibrant accessories (rug, pillows, art) that will play well with our dark leather furniture and give the family room a lighter, brighter vibe.
I need some new towels and accessories for a bathroom redo!!
Hard to narrow it down – half of my house is HomeGoods and I just found out they’re opening another store in the San Fernando Valley – yay!
Probably some nice outdoor dishes – it’s barbeque time in California and I would love to have some unbreakable dishware.
Good luck to us all.
Sandy
I have my eye on a bulletin board with a black frame….I had one made but then I saw the one at HomeGoods that I liked better!
HomeGoods is one of my favorite stores! I’ve been looking for a new rug for my living room so I would concentrate there but also want to find some large oversized Vases in an Apple Green color for the living room Mantel..
I adore HomeGoods! I recently purchased my first house (whoo hoo!) after living in a tiny, modern loft for two years so I am in dire need of all things, like a new dining room table that seats more than two people!
I am in need of curtains for my bedroom and some bed linens. Thanks for the giveaway.
