Our Roots

our story

The Shanty & Co. was born from friendship, shared purpose, and a deep belief in the power of community.

As two moms, dreamers, and doers, we — Karina Charry and Lisette Perdomo, came together with a vision to create something more than just a space. We are building a place where families feel connected, supported, and inspired. A space where children learn, play, and grow, and where parents and caregivers find their village. Our beautiful space is designed to host celebrations and gatherings, offering our space for private events, workshops, and community moments that bring people together in meaningful ways.

Our roots run deep in this work.

Karina, owner of Bounce for Love and co-owner of ElevateHER, brings her passion for uplifting women, curating joyful experiences, and celebrating milestones with heart. Lisette, owner of Reign & Bo Events, The North Florida motherHOOD, and The North Florida Mom Business Network, and former owner of Sunshine Play & Learn, brings years of experience in event planning, community building, and creating spaces where moms and families thrive.

With different strengths but the same heart, we brought our ideas (and a whole lot of passion) to the table. What began as a conversation between two friends has now blossomed into The Shanty & Co., - a vibrant, welcoming space for classes, events, collaborations, and real connection.

At The Shanty & Co., our goal is to grow something beautiful, with and for our community. A place where joy is planted, friendships bloom, and everyone belongs. From our hearts to yours, welcome home.
