What clients say about Seems Like Yesterday in Cheshire Township (CT)
Seems Like Yesterday is fun little secondhand stop. Small but packed with character, and one of those places where you actually want to slow down and look at everything.
They’ve got a great mix of classic finds...vintage vinyl, old books, quirky collectibles, and some locally made items mixed in. I picked up a vintage Grateful Dead patch and two floral frogs and spent around $10 total, which felt like a steal.
The staff was kind and welcoming, and even though it’s not a huge store, it’s perfect for killing 15–20 minutes just browsing and spotting interesting pieces you don’t see everywhere else. Definitely worth popping into if you’re in Cheshire and love nostalgic, slightly eclectic shops.
I needed a reputable company that I could rely on to come and clean out my Moms estate and sell the contents. I called a bunch of places and most never returned my call or wanted a ridiculous amount of money for the cleanout. I called Bobby and he came over to the house within an hour and walked through and provided me with a solid cleanout and sale strategy at a very reasonable price. Since I did not live in the same state as the property, it was especially important that I hire someone I could trust to come and go as needed and ensure that the house was secure when they left. I felt completely comfortable with Bobby and his Team the entire time. Additionally, Bobby has multiple exit strategies for the sale of the estate items. Rather than relying on just having an Estate Sale at the house, he instead uses online auctions, FB Marketplace, a Storefront, Flea Markets, and networking to take advantage of every opportunity to sell the estate items. I highly recommend Bobby and his Team at Seems Like Yesterday to handle the cleanout and sale of your family's estate.
I can't stop talking about this place. I happened by it one day and lost track of time in there. So many things to look at, all carefully cared for. And I found something I have been looking for for months! Friendly staff and customers. Absolutely going back.
Great little place in Cheshire, CT. Despite its small size, there are so many different items to browse. Super friendly service. Would easily return and see what else they have.
This is the place to go for gifts if you want something unique and -- and fun! I walked in to just look around and ended up starting my holiday shopping, for the first time ever, in October!
Stopped in here yesterday after getting pizza at the restaurant next door. My wife spotted this place, so we went inside and took a look around. She found some vinyl records to add to her collection. The young woman behind the counter was nice. They have lots of cool items here and it seems they get new inventory all the time, so you never know what you may find here. It is worth stopping inside and taking a look around.
They have lots of interesting tin signs for sale... They aren't antique, but they are still cool. Then again, maybe next time, they will be antique. You never know what you'll find as the inventory constantly changes.

Bobby Leonard, owner of Seems Like Yesterday of Cheshire, Ct. and his team were a tremendous help to me and my family!!! They were truly a Godsend in finishing the job of clearing out and selling so many items in my parents house when needed to go up for sale. Bobby, his wife, and team worked hard and steadily. They followed through on everything they promised and we were very pleased!!! I would highly recommend them!!!

This store is so much fun!! So many things to see, vintage , new eclectic mix The owners are knowledgeable and nice, very helpful to all their customers
I went into this little amazing store when I was waiting on a to-go order from the pizza shop next door. I was mesmerize to say the least. I walked around slowly and could not get myself to snap out of the nostalgia I felt. I ended up speaking with Bobby the owner who ended up pleasantly surprising me with some tips, ideas, and opportunities for my own little business! Instead of trying to sell me something he gave me knowledge on how to sell my own things! The kindness and selflessness just really showed such class. I’m hoping him much success. He deserves it but more importantly the store contents most certainly support success. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!
Bought these 3 beautiful pieces for great prices at this lovely store! The staff is very kind and accommodating and the store has so much to offer. Lots of great antique pieces with character and in good condition. This is a wonderful store managed by wonderful people! Would highly recommend stopping in to look around. Also they have a very nice dog who greets you :)
If you have not been in the store yet you are missing out! Seems like yesterday is a great shop with so many different things to shop from. The staff and owner are extremely helpful and welcoming. There is constantly new inventory arriving with always something new to see. Check it out!
