Jhosselin Castile was sitting in the back of her shop with a thin needle and load of fabric all over the place. The specific one she was working on was a beautiful silky black kimono and Jhossy was sewing beautiful black, red and white flowers onto it. Her chocolate brown eyes examined her work, making sure that she wasn't ruining the touch of the silk. This was a project she began working on just a few nights ago and it was something she came up with after watching a few flowers falling from a tree. The sound of a bell ringing from the front of the shop made her go stiff for a moment and then she realized that her store was still open. It happened sometimes when she was into her work so much that forgetting what was going on was the usual. Jhosselin's curly brown hair was long and fell down her shoulders with a bounce, pink plump lips that seemed to speak intelligently when spoken to. In the beginning when she had first came here people gave her looks and many doubted her skill with a needle but when they grew curious and walked into her store, it seemed her fabrics were better then expected.
Standing up Jhossy put the needle down and walked out to the front of the store that had several different clothes around the store. From silks to cotton, leather, fur and material that was a bit hard to describe. Though it was pretty popular among the men. It was an elderly woman who had walked in with a child, Jhossy gave them both a small smile as she leaned behind the counter. All the money that Jhosselin was give she put against her breast, the tight kimono she had on kept it in place. It had a cherry blossom pink base, a beautiful crane was flying with several different flower types sewn onto it. This kimono was cotton and made her feel warm, even though in her opinion kimonos were a bit suffocating.
"Is there anything I can get you?" Jhosselin asked, her Spanish accent was thick and for a moment the old lady seemed a bit confused but it seemed she understood her. Jhosselin was learning Japanese and even though she was getting better at it, her accent was thick and sometimes confused others.
"Its this child's birthday and I wanted to buy her a pretty kimono," The elder woman spoke with a nod of her head, she had a hard look on her face but when she spoke of the little girl's birthday she seemed to soften up a bit. Jhosselin motioned for them to follow her to the back of the store which they did and their eyes widened at how many clothes covered both the walls and floors, some were finished while some of them were not.
"As you can tell we have a variety of things for you to choose from, if you'd like she can choose what pattern she wishes and I could finish making one in her size in about a week. If that isn't to late?" Jhossy stood straight with a professional air around her, it was hard not to be serious about what she loved. After years of watching how her mother acted with the customers Jhosselin had grown to learn that being polite with customers was best attitude. Of course there were customers who came in with a bad attitude and Jhosselin pointed them right back out, telling them to come back when they've cooled their head. The communication between people is what sets your business in gear. In the end the woman decided to come back next week after Jhossy finished making the girl a blue kimono with white leaves and branches. Jhosselin excited her store, locking it behind her, so that she could go and buy more thread from the usual place. She had stayed up all night and used up most of what was left so it would be smart to restock up now.
