{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 love this shopping spree to Homegoods….am working on my outdoor spaces this month..pool area is calling for bright new loveliness!!
We do not have a Homegoods retail store in my state, so I just dream of shopping there. Well, all of this is about to change because this summer I am taking a road trip to shop in Dallas, TX! Homegoods will be my first destination as I look for lamps and accessories to complete my living room makeover. I would love to have $100 to get started…
THROW PILLOWS!!! I’m a sucker for throw pillows! I can’t get enough of them. And I’m sure I would find lots of goodies for my patio, as well. We are putting a lot of work into our patio this summer.
Oooooo, it is too hard to pick just one thing. I like those tall white jars. I could use some new lamps too or some side chairs. I love Home Goods!
Yes, please enter to me win this fabulous give away! I need lamps, rugs, accent chair–so much…
I am redoing one of my bedrooms “shabby chic neutral”. I would truly love a white cotton bedspread and a neutral rug.
Oh my…this would be sooooo awesome if I were the lucky winner:) I would buy some new lamps for my guest cottage…I’m doing a makeover out there after my daughter moves out next month (now that part is sad). Homegoods is one of my all time favorite stores…never come empty handed.
Blessings,
Linda
I would use the gc to purchase some items for a guest bedroom re-do.
Thank you!
We moved into a new house about a year ago and a few of my windows are still naked! I’m on a hunt for some curtains to dress my living room and bedroom windows. Thanks for the chance to win! =)
I would buy a unique vase or something to put on my new mantle….something rustic 🙂
What a wonderful giveaway! I so desperately need a HomeGoods shopping spree…. I have two projects going on: mine and Audley’s bedroom (which hasn’t been “decorated” in 5 years!) and our living room is being spruced up …. needing a little color besides green. I did tweet your giveaway also …. http://twitter.com/#!/southrntablejen/status/75807403626606592
Looking forward to see who wins!
Never been to a HomeGoods but would love to after reading and hearing so much about it. I would use the gift card towards redoing my son’s bedroom since he has left our nest.
I would get items for my outdoor patio! Love all of the different linens and outdoor furniture items!
I seem to gravitate to the dishes and accessories in HomeGoods. I would love to win a gift card and see what lovely new items I could find!!
I love HomeGoods and would like to add some finishing touches to my screened porch.
Linens and more linens!!! Love that store!
Just tweeted the giveaway @mamaolie
Oh where to start! What would I buy at HomeGoods…well…I am currently reclaiming my dining room from the toy room so that would be a wonderful place to start, I have nothing except the kitchen table that will be moving in there so I need linens, decor, curtains, a rug, lamps, etc. etc. Then again, I need to decorate my sun room as well, or the living room, the master bedroom…do you see the trend? $100 would really help! Thanks for the change to win.
Home Goods is a great place to shop! I will need to go there soon to set my daughter up in college! Love your blog!!!!!!!!!!!!
The closest store to me is a TJMaxx/Homegoods combo in Pensacola, FL and I LOVE that store! I am a sucker for serving pieces, especially cake plates, luncheon plates, and crystal items, as well as the cutesy kitchen items. With their prices, I can get some of everything for $100! Love your blog Rhoda and thank you BlogHer for this opportunity!
