{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.

Love the serving pieces, plates, pots and pans, rugs, sheets, duvets, towels , scented hand soap, mirrors, pictures, etc. You get the picture! I love Homegoods!
I love HomeGoods! I am starting a bathroom project, need everything to redo a bathroom from the mid 90’s. HomeGoods has so many treasures which would make for the ‘funnest’ day, especially with a shopping spree gift card!
I was just in there last week and I really wanted to re-do my bedroom for summer. Something light and bright and beautiful. Lots of amazing things there so I think it would be a bedroom makeover!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HomeGoods! If I were the winner I would HAVE to buy a new lampshade for the lamp my ex gave back to me with the broken shade hanger. And OF COURSE, some great all around decor for the home I purchased 4 years ago…that I’m STILL trying to personalize.
Hi Rhoda, boy, could I use that $100. There is a painting (Frenchy with a bike out front) that I love, as well as a large mirror with shutters attached. I can’t believe you were at “my” Home Goods. Yep, that is 5 minutes from my house and we were sooooo excited to have it open. In fact, I was the 3rd person in the doors on opening day! Linda
Everything you showcased on this shopping spree looks fantastic!!! I too love Homegoods, Marshalls, TJMAXX or anything of the like…theres something to be said for finding a bargain…its a certain satisfaction you feel! I would have to first purchase some lamps…I have been looking for a pair for a while now…hope I win!
I would look for some things to add to my patio and deck area.
Breakfast AND a shopping spree?! I’m so jealous! I’d love to buy more lamps for my home, as well as accent pillows and big pots to put plants in…oh, I could go on and on and on…
What fun you all had! I an in search of plates for my dining room wall. Love Home Goods, even though it is a bit of a drive.
You gals surely had a lot of fun!!!! I LOVE Home goods 🙂 I have my eyes on those blue chairs LOVE THEM!!!!!
I’m looking for a sailor’s knot. I had seen them at my local Home Goods and TJ Maxx a month or so ago, and I had no clue what they were. Now, I’ve seen them in all the magazines and I can’t find them at either store; however, that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop looking! It gives me a reason to go there, regardless! ;o)
Thanks for a great giveaway! I would purchase cushions, candles, statuary all for my tired looking deck. Thanks, Janice
Wow!!!! This great. I love me some Home Goods. I would buy eighter some new bedding for the guest room or new throw pillows! Whatever it ended up being it would be something great as always when from Home Goods!
I have been working on getting drapes for the bedrooms in our house. I need them to make the rooms look complete.
I could always use a new lamp!!! thanks for the offer to win!!
I am in desperate need of new buffet lamps and I know home goods always has the best lamps!!! Thanks!
I would love a hammock with big comfy pillows to laze in the backyard with my kids reading books or enjoying a popsicle making really happy memories together.
I love Home Goods. I shop at the ones in Birmingham, AL (about 40 miles away)…I need some additional items for my screened in porch. Cushions for my chairs; accents for the tables; cool pool towels; anything for summer and outside! Enter me in the drawing and thanx for the giveaway! Tiffany
I would LOVE the chance to win this! I would buy cushions for my new screened in porch!!
I wish I was with you because I would’ve grabbed the other white covered vase you pictured above! I am fortunate to live on LI where there are FIVE Homegoods/Marshalls within 15 miles or so. I guess I’ll be heading to each of them to see if I can track down that piece…
I would buy the “perfect” thing to finish off my gallery wall. Maybe a mirror 🙂 and then loads of pillows!~\
