If you read any Beth’s past Foodie Friday posts, you already know she harbors a *slight* obsession with The Graphics Fairy website. If you haven’t explored that infatuation, though, you may not realize that The Graphics Fairy is a virtual plethora of (again, our favorite) FREE vintage graphics and goodies such as borders and nifty banners. Often, they are prepared and edited so that you can (for example) use a retro perfume advertisement to push your own wares or announcements. The images are all perfectly legal for your use (since most predate copyright laws), but there’s an extensive section on legalities which won’t harm you to read. Then, start prettying up your blogs, craft projects, holiday gift cards… the sky’s the limit! There is also an email subscription which is worth receiving just to see something pretty in your inbox once a week. Warning: extremely addictive site. You’ve been warned.

Tuesday Tech Tips are not intended to reinvent the wheel and may not always be cutting edge to all of you – we just want to share some of the nifty things we run across on the blogosphere. We’re doing that uppity thing – curating – which in our minds is just a fancy interpretation of the mission of AWB to gather, grow and connect: gather you here, grow your voices and your lovely blogs, and connect you with one another and some helpful tips from time to time. If you run across an item you think would be worth posting, send it with subject “Tips” to beth@arkansaswomenbloggers.com. You can follow our “Tools & Tips” board on Pinterest or #AWBTips on Twitter. Share your fab finds and let us know what you think!
