I should "be ashamed"

For the work you are doing you are not overcharging especially given the price of generic toys in big box stores
-
I also took a look at your page, and your toys are NOT overpriced. I agree with @DOTTYP that they are actually very reasonably priced. And very cute!!
Plus, like everyone here said, it's not the mother's business how much you charge for your work, that's between you and your client. Except if your client is 6 year old and gave you all her lunch money... maybe that's an exception
Continue your great work!!!

@stringfellowart Your toys are adorable and not overpriced at all. They are all handmade and unique. Do not take the client's mother email into your heart. Trolls are everywhere.

Thank you all. You are right, and I can look at it now and just shake my head. I responded to her very professionally but stood my ground. I did offer a refund if her DAUGHTER wanted to return the spider. I haven't gotten a response.

Good for u:) your toys are not overpriced at all. Nice job!

Tell that controlling and over bearing Bee-Ach to back off and mind her own business. That type of 'lady' can spend her baby boomer retirement income on cheaply made crap from {insert big box chain store} that not only supports {China / Taiwan / India} economy but keeps American workers at a low pay job where they can't access benefits because the company works them less that 40 hours a week then provides employees information on how to collect food stamps.
Remind her that your creations keep items from the landfill and the income you generate contributes to your local economy while also providing a unique, hand-crafted, one of a kind item that no one else will have. A toy that falls off the assembly line is not unique or special and will not be treasured. Someone (your client) who spends more than 'normal' on a toy that speaks to them will cherish it forever.
