{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.

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!
