CREATIVE FABRICA This is one of my favourite creative sites that I use in professional AND everyday life! Fonts, images, patterns, mockups - you name it, it's there. And the best part? You can either grab yourself a subscription (which is very reasonably priced), or simply pay for the items you need (so if you have your eye on one font and that's it - purchase for a couple of dollars and be on your way).
