Sunday August 30th Matimoo participated at the Brighton Jubilee, which is one of the largest annual street fairs in Brooklyn N.Y. The Jubilee takes place in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn which is home to a large Ukrainian & Russian Community. With the famous boardwalk a mere one block away, several fair-goers were eating,shopping, and then soaking up the sun. Several of the busiest local streets were closed off to accommodate the large crowds of up to 500,000 people.

We setup shop early in the morning and stayed put until 5pm! Take a look at our setup. That’s my husband Mike behind the table! He came out to help support for the day, he also speaks Russian which happened to be very helpful! The weather was 95 degrees and humid and if you notice we didn’t have an umbrella, making it an absolute scorcher. The good news is we were busy for almost the entire day and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! In the picture you will see we have a few miscellaneous items on the far left side of our table. These items are all handmade by my mother in-law (ranging from i-pad stands, fireplace covers etc.) Please visit her shop on Etsy: called “MyTrappings”

The best part of the day was meeting some of our loyal Matimoo fans! We were absolutely elated to see so many people wearing their Matimoo bracelets. We truly appreciated the warm welcoming we received at the Jubilee! Check out the photo below which features one of our customers who had already purchased a Matimoo bracelet and when she saw our table stopped and added a few more to her collection!
