{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.
This was one of the funnest (I know this is not a real word!) days I’ve had in a long time!

I would be so excited, I wouldnt know what to do. This is my FAVORITE type of store. I am so glad I found it. I had never heard of it before. I am really into plaques or pictures that say things on them. “Be Happy”, ” Kindness never fails”. Things like that. I would buy those things and I have had my heart set on a big sun. I collect sun things and I cant afford the one I want. This would sure let me get it now and not feel guilty about spending the money.
Moving back into our house. We have MISSED it! We would buy items that would say “Welcome home, family”. I would buy sheets (for hubby and me) and let the girls pick something for their rooms.
I would purchase a pair of lamps for the living room. Thank you for sharing such a generous giveaway!
I would LOVE to get some new wall art and maybe put some $$ towards a rug for our new place…LOVE HomeGoods!!!
Oh how I would love some new dishes. I’m thinking polka dot would be super cute. I’m loving Home Goods especially when this store is only 3 miles from my front door!
We are redoing our deck and backyard living area. And HOME GOODS is right up the street ~ never too far away to run on over and get a little inspiration and buy something fun. I also practically refurnished our master bedroom this winter thanks to Home Goods. . .love that store!
I need new throw pillows, an outdoor rug & lots of other things!
I’d buy some lamps! They always have the best selection!
I would love some summer accents to redo my mantel and buffet table.
I just tweet about your giveaway!
i found the most wonderful turquoise glass pieces for my bedroom there – and they were amazingly priced! I stop in at least once a week to see what they’ve got.
I would like to get some seashell inspired pieces, and I am also ready for a new bedspread. Finally, would love some decorative throw pillows and fun stuff for the porch. Oh my, my list could go on!
You are sweet for hosting this fabulosu giveaway! It looks like you had a lot of fun on the shopping spree. Home Goods is one of my all time fave places. I get lost in there for hours!
I would love to pick up some fabulous vases to adorn my hutch, some pillows to accent my outdoor bench, some towels for my baby boys bathroom, oy the list goes on and on!
thanks for the chance!
Oh, how much fun was that! I would love some new cushions for the screened porch so that is the first thing I would go for. Then maybe a lantern or two for some candle light out there in the evenings.
I’d love to win so I can restock my kitchen. My roommate recently moved out and took half of the kitchenwares with her!
My husband and I have lived in our home for almost 3 years and have a beautiful 16 month old and have yet to decorate our living room. We recently purchased a beautiful area rug from home depot and now need accessories, frames, wall art, etc. The $100 gift card would help us get some of those MUCH NEEDED items!
About to move into my new apt, a studio, so that is my big project! I need an area rug and a couch slipcover. Some fabric for the walls and some curtains. I would love the opportunity to have the jump start of the gift card. More decorating tips for a small space would be that much more appreciated! 🙂
Here is my twitter link sharing my excitement with the world! 🙂
