Northern and Southern Californians may have their differences, but making lovely paper goods inspired by our state is not one of them. Every day I am greeted by the 2010 Odd Birds of LA monthly calendar by Krank Press, located here in LA and yesterday a friend of mine surprised me with the California Republic postcard booklet from Yellow Owl Workshop out of Bernal Heights in San Fran. Both share brightly colored, simple graphics based on their respective theme and the quaint look that comes from the hand printing/pressing process. Gotta love those quails!

Yellow Owl Workshop creates a range of goods including cool stationary, stamps and even ceramics.
