I have often seen the word 'Pic' when sellers are listing decorative craft items. I have just listed  some japanese decorative christmas 'Pics' but for the life of me a I just cannot find in my dictionary, wikipedia or google, why on earth these pretty decorated metal or wood pins / sticks  etc are called 'PICS' anyone know?

But if you mean the stuff on sticks, the word is 'picks'.

Great! My husband suggested I should spell it that way --- I will from now on --
Just been thinking of course that's how to spell it ! After all, you could use 'Tooth Picks' right! :O)
