Charlotte, in addition to Etsy, you can quickly and easily get your "fabrics, table top, pillow and bed coverings" up in front of our readers via our free classifieds here:

Maybe Craigslist or a local flea market?

Depending upon how old and how good they are, the Middle Eastern pieces might do better on eBay. There are a lot of collectors who have saved searches, so what you sell would just show up, if you have it listed correctly. Etsy has much fewer dealers in this material and isn't on collector's radar.

There is also a vintage bazaar being planned for February in Lincoln Square.... http://www.thevintagebazaar.com/ ... if you are into renting a table and selling in person.
