Sunny Day Designs Owner & Designer Shelley Schmidt grew up with a behind-the-scenes perspective on manufacturing through her family's hat factory in Missouri. So, when she decided to launch her own company selling home decor, stationery, and more, bedecked with her own playful patterns, Schmidt knew that she had the opportunity to create valuable jobs in the United States. Schmidt shares why Made in America gives her such pride and the state of the retail landscape for small Made in America businesses today.
