Goodbye to Bailey & Bailey

Open since 1995, retiring owners of the Sewickley boutique plan to close shop Friday.

At the end of September the doors to a Sewickley staple will be closing for good. While lovely crops of new shops are popping up everywhere, it is always sad to see an old favorite go.
