{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 HomeGoods! Adore all of their sheets and towels oh and pillows too!!
I would love to buy some new pillows for our couch and maybe a runner for the dining room table.
I am in desperate need of bedding for my two guest beds. I love HomeGoods.
I would probably purchase something like the white accent table that somewhat resembles a cake stand. I am also a sucker for cloches and other accent pieces! I have been trying to incorporate a few turquose pieces into my white palate.
I want that chair with the lime and green print! Love HomeGoods and can’t wait for
the one at The Forum in Norcross to open!
I’ve never been to a Homegoods but there is one about an hour from here. I would buy some dishes to add to what I have to set a great table. However, it looks like there’s lots to choose from so I may leave with all kinds of things!
I’m looking for an off-white quilt for our bed. I want to change out my patterned spread for a plain one and then I can decorate with fun pillows.
Since the birth of our son in September our tiny three bedroom house has been rearranged numerous times to achieve maximum efficiency! Our office became the nursery and our backroom off the kitchen became the office, which worked well for awhile, but now he’s on the move and has so many toys. So now the guest bedroom became an office and the backroom a playroom. We both work from home at least twice a week, so an office is a must. So far this has been the hardest to decorate since it needs to be an office on most days, but also needs to convert to a guest bedroom (via air mattress) when we have company. I could sure use some goods from HomeGoods to help with the transformation!
I would definitely get some curtains for my new place. Or maybe some cute accessories for the porch that I’m redoing. I’m sure I’ll be able to find something cute for either project!
As much as I would LOVE to buy something for my house, I think I would have to spend it on something for my sweet neice, Taryn’s, new home – her first!
I’m working on a small kitchen re-do and $100 at HomeGoods would go a long way! Love your blog!
I would buy a new comforter for my bed. Desperately need one.
I can’t get enough Homegoods! I have been watching their accent chairs for a matching set to use in my living room!
Love the linens, I have a guest bedroom I would love to redo. Or maybe some pretty glasses?
This is my all time favorite store & have bought practically everything for my 3 daughters apartments there! Would love to redecorate my bedroom with Homegoods! I so enjoy your blog! Thank-you
I know EXACTLY what I would buy! I have my eye on a beautiful cream, aqua and brown floral rug. It has been flirting shamelessly with me for weeks now and I know it would work beautifully in my home. If my old washer wasn’t about to bite the dust, I would definately have brought that gorgeous rug. Priorities are the curse of being an adult!
What’s not to love about Home Goods!!! I don’t think I have ever gone in and come out empty handed. I can always use new bed linen or towels for the guest room, it’s nice to have a change. Thanks Rhoda, and thank you Home Goods for offering such a fabulous giveaway!!!
