It's Bunny Time! Resident Bunny Anderson of Brookside has some of her fabulous collection of bunnies at the Fairway Clubhouse display cases. She is showing some of her favorites from a collection of 640 bunnies she brought to La Costa Glen.
Her first bunny was given to her 56 years ago by a neighbor. It is a handmade bunny pincushion saying, "Sumbunny loves you." That started her world-wide collecting. These include a large bunny carved from lapis, a gold and diamond compact, a 60th anniversary solid gold pin, brass, porcelain, crystal ones and a four foot lettuce garden bunny. She has trays, plant holders, money banks, copies of museum pieces and her favorite: Jimmy, a large stuffed bunny that sits on her bedroom chair.
Lakeside display cases will feature resident artist Harvey Hersh (aka "Hershey"). Hershey moved to La Costa Glen in October of 2008. He calls Brooklyn his hometown and attended New York University. He worked for 30 years for Gallo and began painting when he was caretaker for his wife. Self taught, he took his first formal art lesson in resident Doug Strole’s art workshops where he continues to grow as an artist. He always knew he could draw as a child and kept it up during school years, especially in college where he would draw on blackboards for his professors (helping to pass all his grades)!
