About Walnart
Walnart began at my kitchen table in 2019 when I finally found the opportunity to sit and enjoy what I've always loved to do - making teeny tiny things! I made myself some Christmas decorations, my friends liked them, so I made some more to sell at a Christmas fair, and it snowballed.
Now with over fifty different designs, I spend all my time cracking, prepping and filling nutshells with all sorts of miniature creations. From Nativity scenes to hot air balloons, hedgehogs to cottages, with each item individually crafted by hand in my workshop - known by my kids as the NutHouse.

Where do all the nuts go?
In the beginning, the walnuts went to friends and family, who were very happy to munch away. However, there came a time when everyone had their fill of walnuts!
Nowadays, all the walnuts go to Katie's Nuttery in Sussex to be turned into Walnut Butter, in return for a donation to cdh UK, so nothing goes to waste and a good cause benefits.
cdh UK
cdh UK is The Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Support Charity, which works to provide support for families and fund research into this condition affecting new babies.
