{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 am redecorating my master bathroom for just me! There is a rug I spied in the Kennesaw Home Goods which although is my inspiration, unfortunately is not in my budget. I would so love to have that rug!
Looking for a side table for a bedroom…
I rarely leave Homegoods empty handed. I buy everything from kitchen goods to linens there. My favorite retail place. What would I spend this on? My son and his wife are moving into a new rental house, so I would probably take my daughter-in-law on a shopping spree. They are a young military family, married less than a year, so this would help them a great deal.
I love and live very close to Home Goods. I would love to purchase some items for my redo of our screened porch.
I’m working on two areas – my patio and family room. I’m looking for new cushions for my patio set and a new lamp for my family room and I’m sure I could find something that would be great there.
What an amazing giveaway! We could use a new lamp in my husband’s office and they always have a great selection of those. I also love their variety of kitchenware and would happily stock my kitchen with some fancy new baking sheets and serving dishes.
I also tweeted about the giveaway (@evil_lina).
I would love to have a Home Goods gift card to use on redoing my 14 year old daughter’s room. She is ready for a more grown up style with new paint and comforter set. Thanks!
Love Home Goods for linens! Need a new summer-weight coverlet…or a rug…or a mirror…or…
I would buy a new lamp for my sunroom. A coastal looking one. I also need some closet organizing implements. hope I win!
would love to find a rug for our bonus room so the kids don’t have to sleep on the bare floors with their firends!! I love Homegoods!!
I’m finally redoing my son’s room since he got married almost 2 years ago. I have started with 2 antique twin beds…and that is as far as I have gotten ..other than the beadboard wallpaper in the dressing area…thanks to Rhoda! Would LOVE a trip to Home Goods to get a jump start on it!
Well, I really could use some fun new pillows to use in my yard chairs this summer. It looks like you girls had lots of fun with good fellowship as well.
I’m a sucker for all of the kitchen accents that Homegoods carry. I never leave empty handed from that store!
I need a shopping spree lol. We had no power from Thurs to Sunday of last week all our food was depleted. That would help a great deal. I have just moved in a single mom with her 2 month old baby trying to help her out to get her back on her feet. We have a total of 6 in the family now.
I would buy some new accessories for the bathroom we’re renovating. A shower curtain, rug, cute soap dispenser, etc. LOVE HomeGoods!
I shop at Home Goods on a weekly basis. On my current list of “wants” is a nice rug to go in my husbands music room. The current one is old and out dated.
So looking forward to being a winner!
Thanks
I want to redo my bedding but haven’t found the exact style I want to use. I’ve been trying to save up enough money because if I redo my bedding then I have to redo curtains, accessories, etc., etc., etc. I have never been to a HomeGoods Store but if I won $100 I would definitely make the trip!
pillows, pillows, pillows!!!
Love Homegoods and there is one right in my town! I would use the gift card to buy new linens for my master bedroom or possibly my daughters “big girl” room that I will be working on soon.
