We are turning 2!!!

Time flies! We can’t believe that it has been 2 years since we first published our initial set of prints on Etsy. 2 years... wow! The second year saw some new prints added to the collection, expansion into new social media channels, as well as some major changes that were in the process and you will hear about very very soon! ;)

We are extremely grateful for all the support and advice we received from our friends and family, and the positive reviews we received from our customers and fans! The third year will be a very busy year for us. We are looking to expand the PICA library, the blog posts, social, with lots more to come! The greatness is coming!!!

Announcing New Lower Shipping Fees!

We are happy to announce that we have made changes to our shipping rates that affect the whole world! We know shipping costs play a big factor when ordering your favourite print. So we hope our new lower fee flat rates will put a smile on your face at check out time.

We are based in Canada, so shipping to the United States and Canada provinces is the cheapest. Here are our new lower shipping fees:

United States and Canada — $5 flat rate
International — $10 flat rate

Don’t forget, the shipping rate is flat, so you can order as many prints as you like and the shipping rate will stay the same.

The delivery times vary by destination. US and Canada orders can take up to 3 to 10 business days, while international orders take 6 to 20 business days.

For more details please visit our Shipping page located in our site’s footer.

Happy Birthday to Us! We are Turning 1!!!

It has been one year today that PICA Things We Love first opened its doors to the world on the Etsy Marketplace. Since then it has been a start-up roller coaster of figuring out the nooks and crannies of what it meant to be PICA. We definitely came a long way from November 16th, 2014. We grew our Etsy store. Opened doors to our first official online store. We acquired lots of new friends via our social channels. We definitely believe we took the right steps in the right direction. And with that we are very thankful for all the support and advice we received from our friends and family who helped us get to where we are now!

Keeping with the spirit of PICA Things We Love, we are always looking positive to the future. We believe that there are great things waiting for us in the new year. And by year two, we are hoping to celebrate even bigger milestones. After all, no matter what, we will always be designing and illustrating—making the world a colourful place one print at a time!
