{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.

Homegoods! What a store! Hmmm. I think I’d be shopping for accessories for our new sunroom and maybe a lamp. Love that store!
What could be better than a HomeGoods Shopping Spree…. we all have to have a moment of silence when we enter… to pay the respect that is due ….. lets see what would I get…. either something to go in my master bathroom I am re-doing or of course something to go in my gardens.. or new accent/serving dishes for the kitchen or new linens… or a new rug… see thats what is so great… you can get something for every room in the house…
Keeping my fingers crossed for a win…
Looking for some peace sign bedding for my daughters room….it would sure make her day 😉
Whenever I need some new garden decor I head over to HomeGoods. I can always find something I just have to have. Recently I bought a Saint Francis statue that looks weathered, some ceramic mushrooms and a large stone Frog. now I am on the look out for some new pillows to add to my chaise lounge chairs. Thanks so much for the wonderful giveway.

I am from North Alabama and was just in the Birmingham area and visited thier great HomeGoods store. My daughter and I are looking for a black damask twin comforter for her dorm room. She will be attending Southern Union this fall on a basketball scholarship. She is wanting to use black so that she can put pinks, oranges, lime greens, etc…with it. We will also need curtains, shower curtain, rugs, lamps and a few decorative items. If I was the lucky one chosen, we would be able to fix her room up with NEW stuff instead of hand-me-downs. We would be very greatful if we were chosen 🙂 Thanks so much for this opportunity to possibly make her transition from home to her home away from home a little more easier 🙂
I dont have a tweet account, but I do have a facebook and I told about it in my status 🙂
Ilove Home Goods. I am redoing a bathroom. Using Antique brass fixtures. Love all there things for finishing up accessorizing bathroom. Thanks for the give away.
i neeeeeed some throw pillows! and some lamps! and what is there at homegoods really that you DON’T need?? : )
Oh, so hard to choose but I’m looking for some drapery panels to spruce up an outdated bedroom at my parents’ beach house. Fingers crossed!
Just did a redo on my 30 year old kitchen and need some new accessories to bring it up to date (and Rhoda!) Tona, next time you go to B’ham to the Homegoods store, you better call me! Beth can meet us there! Believe or not, she has never been there and I haven’t either. She doesn’t have her mom’s shopping genes!
Would love to purchase a chair for me living room…so many cute ones there!!
Love, LOVE HomeGoods! So many great finds! I MUST refresh my living area with pillows and cutesy items! And I go wild when visiting HomeGoods! Thanks for sharing!!
Blessings!!
Love that store! Since I’m trying to redo my screened in porch I think I’d concentrate on items I could use for that project. Or I would pick up a couple items for the guest room that my mom uses when she visits. So many possibilities. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
What a fun field trip! I would love to win a gift card to HomeGoods. Thanks for offering this to your readers.
I would definitely use the gift card to spruce up my back deck. Maybe something so breathtaking no one will notice I’m only half done staining the whole thing! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I am on the lookout for a new lamp for my foyer! Love me some Homegoods!
A HomeGoods giveaway? That’s great!!!!!! 🙂
I would buy a big big mirror or more white accents. 🙂
I would really love a great print/mirror/wall hanging. I am living at home after college to save money to buy my own place, and recently got promoted at work, so that dream is even closer now than it was before and $100 gift certificate would just be the icing on the cake 🙂
I’m gonna be hopping on the screened in porch band wagon so I would use the money to purchase items for it. I’m a bit overwhelmed with trying to figure out the actual “construction” of the porch, but when that is all finished, shopping at Homegoods to decorate the area will be the “fun part!!!”
Thanks for the giveaway!
I stop into Homegoods about every week to see whats new. I always find something I can’t live without!!
