Guh... Litter

I'm trying to figure out where some subtle glitter came from.

I was just sweeping off my couch cover (I have a sarong down on my couch that I spend most time on... I'm not entirely sure why, to protect it?  To make it softer?  I... don't know, I just do?  I might have had a reason a long time ago but if I did it's since left my brain.) and I noticed a few small gold glitter pieces (what is a singular piece of glitter called anyway?  A glitter?  A glit?)

I know there are jokes upon jokes about glitter never going away but I don't even know where this gold glitter came from.

I try to avoid glitter.  I know that people give things with glitter, like cards from the UK often have glitter on them but it's not December, and I didn't open any cards in December on my couch.  And then there's my car.  My passenger side seat has some green/blue glitter on it and again, I have NO idea why or where it came from.

The only glitter I'm aware of is from a plant I was given around Valentine's day.  That glitter was pink and larger.  I dealt with most of it at the time.  This isn't that.

I know the stuff transfers so maybe someone else had green/blue small glitter and it got on one of my bags and I put that bag down on my passenger seat but... what?  Who?  Where?  When?

So, yeah.  Gold glitter from nowhere on my couch (just the "foot" end though, and really just a tiny amount) and blue/green glitter from nowhere on my car's passenger seat.

If it's from fairies or some kind of helpful magical being/beast, I'm not complaining if they need a place to sleep or something, I'm just saying I'm confused.

I'm a glitter free person... who has glitter around her.  From unknown sources.

Like, what?

Has anyone been in your place who may have had contact with someone who might have had contact with glitter?

Well I had folks in to fix my fridge and then a plumber in to fix my kitchen/bathroom sinks but... they didn't seem like glitter people? But that's the only source I can think of for glitter transference!

Glitter is insidious and forever. I still find traces from when I used to photograph burlesque shows and that was a decade ago.
