{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.

Oooh they have such a great selection of great stuff! I want to shop for table lamps and end tables!
Ready to turn my son’s baby room into a big boy room so we would go shopping for cool stuff that big boys love ~*~

What wouldn’t I buy??? I would probably start with a rug… I have been wanting to put down a cute rug in our family room forever.
I would love to redo our bedroom and get some new linens. HomeGoods has the cutest stuff!
I love to shop their linens and art.
I would buy some new serveware for my kitchen! 🙂
I am moving out this summer and I would love to be able to buy some new stuff. Count me in.
HG is my favorite store on the planet. And the fact that there’s now one in NYC is just beyond fantastic. I’d buy a new rug and any little decorative treasures I could find. (which is never too hard there!) Fingers crossed.
Living by the water every year i go to my fave store, Homegoods, come on where can you find just about everything under the sun at prices that will knock your socks off, well, if your wearing socks. there is a section of really cool beach items, i was there last week and before i realized it i was roaming this section for an hour. I am going back to purchase beach signs, funny ones, awesome summer plates that have different glasses to match, for adults and kids, really cool kid glasses with a fluid in them that looks like the ocean, come on what litle kid would not love that? What is great about the glasses they are made of a very tough plastic, so no need to worry with little ones running around or barefeet. there is a lamp that caught my eye right away, oh yes, this is going into my living room. also, the great thing about homegoods you know you can fill your carriage and still have enough money left over for lunch. This is without a doubt my favorite store, my daughters know that and they come home with different items for Mom, no reason, just an I love you Mom. So to answer the question, you will find me in the section of all beach goods. I am one happy camper.
I’d get the Le Creuset cookware

I’m with you; if I’m going to buy retail, I like to do it at HomeGoods to get the best buy for my money. I am partial to their wonderful dish collections and can always find something to pop into my cart.

Just came to the Homegoods website to see how late my local store is open during the week. We have friends visiting us next weekend, and of course I always wait until the last minute — but I thought it would be nice to “refresh” my guest bathroom before their arrival. So, I’ll be heading to Homegoods after work tomorrow (they’re open till 9:30 — how great is that!?!?!) where I’ll pick up a new shower curtain, towels, bathroom accessories, mat and maybe some artwork! Love Homegoods and I’m looking forward to being their after work — nice way to end a Monday! Of course, if I win the giftcard — I’ll put it towards updating my own bathroom!
I just moved into a new apartment and definitely need some pretty accessories to give it some style. I would use the gift card for new dishes and serving platters for my kitchen!
