{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 work a full-time job, have a husband and two young kids and am trying to build my home staging and redesign business. My own house always gets neglected. I LOVE Home Goods and there are a couple in my area that I practically LIVE at! I think it’s time my bedroom is made over so that I can have a nice, relaxing place to lie my head at the end of a hectic day. My Home Goods purchase would consist of cozy bed linens, a new side table and accessories for my walls and dresser. I’m ready to start fresh!
I’d love to find a rug or curtains to match my bedspread. Thank you for the giveaway.
Oops, I forgot to give you my links…

Gotta have those linens!
My mom’s house could use a sprucing up. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and so far after about 2 years of chemo and radiation she is still cancer free ::knock on wood::
But she doesn’t have the same energy as she once had and I want her to come home and enjoy her home. So, I want to tackle the living/dining rooms, places where me and my five other siblings gather weekly to eat and enjoy each other’s company. Home Goods is the only place I shop for home decor. I am there at least once a week and I text my friends and family with things they may be interested in. My mom needs this, and I want to do this for her. Much thanks for this opportunity and now I am (I swear) off to Home Goods to see what new things, and deals, are available. Bye!
What don’t I love from there?!? I can always find something in the kitchen section, love the linens and bedding, furniture, adore the rug selection… my list could go on for days.
I always love the picture frame selection at Homegoods, but I would use the $100 towards new living room lamps! Thank you for the amazing giveaway!
Probably something for our upcoming bathroom redo!!
I’d probably go get some new linens for the bedroom and a new dog bed for my Maggie!
I could really use some colorful, fun cushions for the lounge chairs on my deck to brighten things up!
Rhoda it looked like a wonderful Shopping Experience at Homegoods. With the $100.00 gift card, I am a Tea girl and would look for a great scenario for the table and I am looking for a nice wall accessorie to complete a loook I am currently working on.
I would love to buy a new comforter set I saw there recently. It is a Ralph Lauren design in blues and reds. It has my name written all over it!
I’m about 45 minutes from a HomeGoods store but it is my most fun and favorite place to shop. I live in the desert south of Tucson AZ but have a BEACH theme in my home because I’m originally from MA. Many of my decorations are from HomeGoods and I especially love it when you have an extra large supply of items in the summer!
I’d buy new lamps and accent pillows for our living room!

I have never been to Home Goods and can’t wait to try it! I found out there’s a store about 20 minutes from here. I can’t give you a list of things I’ve seen there, but i moved to a new apartment and need rugs, shower curtain, lamps, window treatments, decorative pillows, art work and all kinds of pretty accessories that I think they’ll have.
I think I would buy some lamps if I were lucky enough to win this.
I love Home Goods http://markandkimshow.com/my-favorite-new-store-home-goods/2125/ and would love some matching turquoise beachy pieces to match the items on my mantle, that I purchase from Home Goods a month ago. I would also like some small furniture pieces and lamps to complete the family room. There is not a Home Goods near me, but I will be driving to one that’s 4 hours away for my Wedding Anniversary next week. I visited the Home Goods in Simi Valley, CA, for the first time, with my Mother for Mother’s Day and bought her a gorgeous candle holder which she LOVES!! This is without a doubt my favorite store and I’m hoping for a new store someday in Snoqualmie, Washington. I’m following on Facebook and Twitter as MicheWoman.
