MARILYN MONROE 'CLASSIC SERIES' GOES TO THE OSCARS!
Hour Glass Studio in Langley was pleased to participate in the Everybody Wins at the Oscars® Awards Gift Basket* with their feature line, Marilyn Monroe 'Classic Series' martini and wine glasses. This gift bag went to the host and the non-winning nominees in the major categories of the Academy Awards ceremony late last month.

These collectible glasses are exclusively available through the Hour Glass Studio website which was launched last year by Marj Paonessa. She is the creator of the glass line and developed the studio as a hobby from her full time job as a coroner. She was extremely excited to be invited to participate in the gift bag promotion. "I can't imagine a better venue in which to showcase Marilyn Monroe glasses than at the biggest Hollywood celebrity event of the year." A pair of the Classic Series martini or wine glasses was in each gift bag. This year's nominees included George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Cate Blanchett.
