My Aunt Debbie

An adventurous fashion label, for forward thinking folks skipping along the road less traveled. My Nephews helped me to name the business My Aunt Debbie.

My name is Debbie Serdy and I am the artist behind the independent fashion and accessories label, My Aunt Debbie, and boutique by the same name. Waaaaaaaay back in the 1980's, while I was using my college degree in Environmental Conservation to the fullest as a bartender; I started making a line of jewelry inspired by my love of pop culture and everything kitschy. When I wore my jewelry to work, (

always breaking the "no dangly jewelry" dress code), I would notice that after my customers had a few drinks they would want to buy what I was wearing. Before I knew it, I had a thriving little jewelry business while mixing up martinis.

30 years later I'm still basically doing the same thing. I could list all of the artistic achievements, and experiences I've had, and the amazing people I have had the privilege of working with,, and I am delighted to say that there have been many. But the reason I still do this boils down to a few simple things........ I like to make things that make people laugh, I like to encourage and inspire people, and I'm really not that good at doing anything else. Without them life would be so boring, Teaching them to push the envelope, and think outside of the box are some of my proudest moments. When I'm not cutting out pictures of Pee Wee Herman and Andy Warhol, you can find me haunting flea markets and thrift shops for
vintage flotsam and jetsam, unusual doodads and weird textiles. I conjure these goodies up into expressive clothing and curious accessories. I fantasize about rock stars wearing them on stage, and shy folks wearing them as they sing into their hairbrushes fantasizing about being rock stars.

I’ve recently had the opportunity to make memory bracelets for people whom have lost loved ones. They share cherished photos with me, and I edit, and color correct, and crop them all to the perfect size. By the time the bracelet is finished, I feel like I’ve had a tiny glimpse into this person’s well lived life. 🩷

Every time I sit down to make jewelry or sew, I would always have to move Bruce or Peggy out of the way; usually to much protest and biting of my hand. Then they would just jump right back up and knock stuff around and be jerks. Getting these window perches for my studio was worth EVERY PENNY!!! Now everyone has their designated space and I can get some work done!!!! p.s. I’ll be making a major pop culture earring drop at soon.

Close up of a cocoon fiber sculpture that I made it seems a lifetime ago. I stuffed T-shirt hems to make the coils. I love creating fibery projects, but rarely make the time to make them a priority. I am going to change that; starting today.💖 What projects that make your heart sing, are you hiding from the world? Tell me in the comments below. We can cheerlead each other together and uplift the heck out of this planet!! 🥳🥳👏🤩👍🤝✌️🤟🏻💪🏼💋💥⚡️🔥🌟

Let me introduce you to a new HIGHLIGHT on my Instagram page……
“nice things for sale” is a simple and easy way for you to purchase my one of a kind creations and sweet vintage goods that you wont find in my Etsy shop. Shipping is a flat $4 for as many treasures as you want, and if you are a Lancaster local you can purchase them and pick them up (items can be reserved behind the counter for 48 hours). I will be adding new goodies every week, so look for that in my stories. You can just message me for purchase details and more information about anything you like. 💖😻⭐️
