Artist Feature: Anna Veteto of Buckleby & Co.

Crocheting Comfort, Imagination, and Storytelling by Hand
In a cozy corner of The Village, Oklahoma, fiber artist and author Anna Veteto is quietly creating a world of softness, story, and charm. As the founder of Buckleby & Co., Anna blends nostalgic design, heartfelt storytelling, and the warmth of handmade work into every piece she makes—whether it’s a crocheted toy, a cozy accessory, or the pages of her children’s book. Anna will also be a vendor at the October 2025 Village Arts Festival, sharing her whimsical creations with the community.
