Tre (as she's best-known in the LJ graphics community) has archived her large textures here at Deviant Art. I can see why she didn't archive the icon textures -- they're taken from her larger works -- but I do love the sets I downloaded back when her site was still up.

Fonts:
Fonts for Kids! - I know, sounds like a collection of "kid" handwriting fonts, but it's actually a decent collection of free fonts on a fast server for downloading.
misprinted type 3.0_art, design, and type by Eduardo Recife -- lots of gorgeous free fonts as well as some for sale, too. Wish I did larger work because the fonts for sale are works of art that need to be large to be appreciated (and legible). Definitely worth a look if you work in larger formats because they're gorgeous and very reasonably priced.
dafont.com
teh_indy has a great list of fonts with examples & sizes here
Fonts for Peas: At the time I downloaded, almost 150 handwritten fonts. Looks though them, download just those you want, or download them all as a convenient *.zip file.
Abstract Fonts: Good selection and easy navigation.
Elm Software: A selection of handwritten fonts suggested for use on invitations.
exljbris: Several free, very legible, carefully designed fonts, including Anivers, Fontin, and Delicious.
Smashing Magazine's Font Article Index: Lots and lots of links to beautiful, free fonts.
Open Source, Professional Fonts -- Beautifully designed, no-charge fonts
