{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! I always find things I didn’t know I needed until I go. I am getting ready to start a basement family room and kitchenette makeover. I’m going Coastal, so I know I could find some great things with the help of a gift card!

I have Homegoods items in our bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and living areas of my home. Also, my linen closet has Homegoods napkins, tablecloths & placemats. That store is the best!
I tweeted too @savingmoneyll: Stop by @SouthernRhoda’s for a $100 shopping spree giveaway to @Homegoods, thanks to @BlogHer! Sign up to win! http://bit.ly/mB7yPM
Home Goods is my “home away from home”!!!! I am redoing a bathroom too and need some cute items for that!!!! Hope I have a chance!!!!! XO, Pinky
I’m searching for all things pink and brown for my daughter’s bedroom! That’s what I’d be buying! 🙂
For some reason my first comment isn’t showing up so I’ll just type it up again. 🙂 Rhoda, this would be such a blessing to our home considering our tight finances right now! We need some type of something to go above our bed in our room, picture frames, pillows for the guest bedroom and a curtain and an expandable rod for a little storage project I have in mind. Thanks so much for the opportunity, Rhoda! You are so great!
I’m in the process of redoing almost the entire house. ACK! I know…anyhow, I plan on hitting up HomGoods for sheets, towels, bathmats, and some fun accessories for the girls’ room and the playroom/study room.
I l-o-v-e HomeGoods and go at least twice a month if not every week. Hard to pinpoint what I “need”, but I’m always finding dishes or home accents. Right now I’m redoing a porch, so I’d probably buy something for that with a giftcard.
I am also a huge fan of Homegoods, love that store! I would buy new towels, rugs and maybe an accessory or two for our master bath. I am in the process of choosing a paint color and will need new towels and rugs to match my new color.
Great giveaway!!! Thanks Rhoda!!
Mary L
I would love to go to HG for some lamps and/ or pillows!
hmm…if I had to choose just one thing, it’d be new pillows for the living room sofa. That room needs some sprucing up. Love HomeGoods!!!
My project is making my walk-in pantry (reason I bought this house) more attractive with great containers in glass and wicker. I also want to add a metal hanging light fixture to replace the tiny glass globe one. Some great shelf liner and good containers to hold baking equipment, etc. would complete this project! I may even add an old-fashioned screen door to replace the solid wood door for some real atmosphere.
I have a whole brand new house to do!!!
I love Homegoods !!! I would buy a mirror . I saw one I liked a few days ago. It is on my WANT list.
I have been eyeing a mirror at Homegoods, and would put the $100. gift card towards that purchase if I won. Thanks, Rhonda…. I think your great.
Love HomeGoods… I would probably opt for some accessories for my low budget kitchen/dining re-do or for our spare bedroom that is a multipurpose room!
I have a bathroom that needs a lot of TLC!!!!!!!! It hasn’t been updated in a few years, and it is the main bathroom that guests use, so I definitely could use the Home Goods giveaway………………..Thanks! Tammy [email protected]
I’ve never shopped at Home Goods but I would love to! I’m always looking for new accent pillows and I could use a new comforter for one of the bedrooms. Thanks so much for this opportunity.
Oh, how fun! A shopping spree! My husband and I just celebrated our first anniversary and our next home project is in our master bedroom. I’d love to make it a romantic, peaceful, ORGANIZED retreat and this gift card would help me get some key pieces. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would buy new bed pillows, and sheets. Our pillows are F. L. A. T. !
PS to HOMEGOODS: Please, please, puh-leeze build more stores in North Carolina!!!!!!!
