I'm so glad you liked the yellow hat, hee hee:) I just had to do that for you! As soon as I read about Katya's hat, I thought of The Spy in the Green Hat, because I've always loved that woman's green hat.

I found a pic of four alpine hats - red, blue, green, and yellow, and as luck would have it the yellow one had a green feather! So I did a cut/paste/enlarge and voila! One yellow hat:) Ain't the internet grand?

I got a big chuckle when you told me about the marquis poster as the source of the photo at the beginning of your story! Is it a coincidence that your Katya is in a yellow hat, or were you inspired by The Spy in the Green Hat?
