{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!
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.

There are too many things at Home Goods to pick just one. I love their lamps and also their accessories. There’s even quite a few furniture pieces I would like to have. There’s no shortage of great products from this store.
Looks like y’all had a blast. Wish I could have been there!
Mrs. Jones from the Circus says
I would totally purchase an awesome area rug. I would be torn from choosing one for our outdoor living spaces that was rich looking with lots of texture or a nice muted soft girl for our family room. Thank you so so much for a lovely give away!!
Jillian says
So jealous! What fun! Hmmmmm….. If I were to win I think I’d buy some pillows and accessories for a deck face-lift I have planned this summer. {And then I’d browse for hours looking at all the wondeful stuff}.
PS- Hi Sandy!
Sharon L Smith says
I have my eye on the perfect bedding……….what fun that would be! Thanks for the opportunity.
Noelle says
OOh it looks like you girls had an awesome time!!! Wish I could have been there!!! I could use some new summer sheets!!! I love your blog and I too am a new blogger and stumbled upon your blog, I have been in love ever since!!!
Karen R in CT says
We are actually re-doing our master bedroom. I need lamps, curtains, accent pieces, the works! Our Homegoods store is about 20 minutes away and I love going there, even if it’s just to window shop :o)
Kathy Lott says
So hard to choose what to buy in that store! I’m always on the lookout for ways to update/redo/add to a room. There are countless things I can buy at any given time. The biggest decision is which one?!
Patty Martin says
Home Goods is great for home dec items! I’d love to have some new accessories for my family room and dining room. Both have just recently been redone with new drapery panels and pillows and need the finishing touches.
Luke's GiGi says
I would purchase some new linens!
Laura P says
I would buy something for my bathroom. That would be the push I need to start tearing down the wallpaper and doing some painting 🙂
Karen says
I love Homegoods! The nearest one to me is a 3.5 hour drive… but it is ALWAYS worth the trip. I’d love to buy some lamps for my bedroom re-do. Or a great mirror.
Mary Anne says
Love Home Goods.I especially like that they receive new items all the time.Seems like I am there at least once a week.
I’m searching for some art work for my master bedroom. They always have a great selection to choose from.
Thanks for the chance to win.
margaret says
I would love to get new cushions to spruce up my repainted dark brown outdoor wicker furniture!
Kelly says
Wow, so many choices! But I would love a rug for our living room and some cute accessories for our deck/porch that we are in the process of staining and decorating.
Mary says
Homegoods is the first place I go when I am looking for special touches for our home. I would love to be a winner so I could fancy up my husbands new home office. My fingers are crossed!
Pat says
I’m looking for a new rug for my entry way. I know that HomeGoods has a huge selection of rugs. Can’t wait!!!!
cheryl Murphy says
Unfortunately for my bank account, everything at Home Goods is a must have for me. Lately, I am cruising Home Goods for summer picnic items. I need a plastic 2 or 3 tiered server for my summer appetizers. I am desperately looking for hot pink cloth napkins and napkin rings to match a cute plaid tablecloth I got there last year.
hazel says
I love Home Goods and buy all my home decor items there. I would buy some towels and kitchen items.
Mary says
I’m glad it was a good day, Rhoda! I think if I were fortunate enough to win, I would buy a comforter set for our master bedroom. I’m liking the greens and aquas these days!
Blessings to you,
Mary
jennie says
I sometimes wish I could live in homegoods. Just walking around there puts me in a good mood! I always hit up the clearance sections first. But right now I desperately need some lamps!
